Horseshoe BayLangdale Ferry docking
I went to the office Thursday, and it’s a good thing I did, because I realised in the morning that it’s a long weekend and Friday’s ferry situation would be horrendous. As it was, Thursday was a hell of a lot busier than I’d ever expected. I’d missed the 8:04 bus, and [...]

HSBC Celebration of Light
For the first time in six years, I went to a friend’s place to watch the fireworks instead of viewing them from my place. She lives west of Denman beside Stanley Park, and her apartment has a rooftop patio, so we all headed up there. What a view!

Last night… oooh… ahhhh…

It has “skin” on it… good enough for me.
I woke up at 5:30am with probably the second-worst cramp I have ever had, in my left calf. It was excruciating, and even though I tried to massage it out, it was so debilitating I could barely get out of bed to see if I could find [...]

Harrison Lake camping trip
I’m not going to talk about today, although it’s ending with another lovely sunset. Instead, here’s a pic from my photo archives.
Camping at Harrison Lake, Labour Day weekend, 1998. Best camping trip ever. I took this photo with my old point-and-shoot Pentax Espio, which I still have. Keeps a lickin’ and [...]

Look at this! Wow! I was having a conversation with Dax, and turned left to see this out my window… I grabbed the camera to capture it, and sent him the photos. Gotta love technology, to be able to share a moment in a moment, with people thousands of miles away.

I thought it would be most fitting to post a photo of a sleeping cat just before I hit the hay.
Meet Mademoiselle Hortense de Beauharnais.
She’s named after Napoleon’s mother-in-law, Josephine’s mother, Hortense de Beauharnais. I’m told her favourite place for an afternoon nap is in the kitchen in a plastic dishwashing bowl…
Jorgen sent me [...]

So, last night I was chatting with Karl on MSN, discussing the idea of the Seattle-ites coming up to view a night of the annual fireworks competition in Vancouver - HSBC Celebration of Light.
I was trying to get in a weekend in Seattle, but it looked like the only available weekend was the 14th. [...]

Yesterday was long. Long. Long… Did I mention that yesterday was long?
I won’t bore you all with the details, but suffice to say, it’s work-related. That said, I cannot truly complain. Look at this view! These pics are to remind me that there are proverbial roses to stop and smell. Plenty of them.

I walked to [...]

Here’s another post with an exclamation mark. I just showered after a dip in the pool while it was deserted, so I could burn off some steam.
Steam? Yes. Earlier this evening I got a phone call from a timeshare in Birch Bay, Washington. Apparently, I was given their number by a woman who does some [...]
