And the Sign Said…
Olympics 2010 are almost here. Tomorrow they are closing the last of the street access in my neighborhood. Tonight was my last chance to go to Costco (which I can see from my house) but I was too lazy and too tired to go. There’s nothing like working all day and being busy, then going [...]
KISSed (And I Liked It)
The first time I saw Kiss was September 14, 1977 on their Love Gun tour. I went by myself, waited in line for hours for general admission, ran like hell when the doors opened, and found myself at the end of Gene’s feet with my arms hammering on the stage. I was an [...]
B.C. Votes
May 12 is election day here in B.C. It’s hard to know which way it will go. Gordon Campbell has lined so many pockets and made so many of his friends rich that the business sector loves him. His list of crimes against the province and against the environment are too numerous [...]
Bragging Again
Need I say more?
Ok, I’m bragging. I just feel an incredible fascination with the city right now. I’ve been here for 20 years, yet in some ways I feel like I’m seeing things for the first time. I have started looking at the world through my camera lens and it’s giving me [...]
Sweet Life
I found this picture and it reminded me why I choose to live where I do.
Looking at this picture you can see where I work and where I live. (Ok where I live is actually not visible, but it’s just to the right of the big white dome). You can see the seawall all along [...]
There Is Beauty all Around
I had to post this photo. I was looking through some old pics and it was staring at me. I had it in my bucket of pictures that need some post processing done on them, but I hadn’t got there yet. In looking at this photo I realized how amazing the sky is. It was [...]
Taxation Gone Wild
As I sit here enjoying my “pre work” morning coffee I find my blood pressure rising (and not because I have to leave for work in half an hour). The news announcers are all over the fact that the powers that be in Vancouver (Translink) want to increase all kinds of taxes on levies in [...]
Have I The Right?
I was wondering what was wrong with our world. There is a lot wrong I know, but it seems that we have gone mad. Is reality tv ruining our grip on reality? I was watching a marathon of my fave reality shows (The Bachelor, Survivor, Hell’s Kitchen, Project Runway) and I left feeling badly. People [...]
I Love a Saturday
I’m feeling trendy today. I’m sitting here at Waves, writing my blog while drinking coffee. I have never surfed with my laptop in a coffee shop. I’ve surfed on my iPod Touch and I’ve surfed with my cel phone, but never with a laptop. My friend is sitting across from me eating breakfast and surfing [...]
