I’m at the folks’ place in Victoria recovering from one of the more memorable days in many moons. I got up at 4:30 and left the house with Jarmo and crew around 7:30. We launched from Burrard ramp. There were eagles at the launch site. The launch was hilarious, mostly because the Suburban’s muffler was [...]

Keith came over and said, “I have a prezzie for you.” It was a tshirt with a design of his own contrivance. In lurid, but slender, rainbow hued type, it says, “Queen’s Fluffiest Pillow!” Once the timing had sunk in (it’s mere weeks before Pride Day – a fact he alluded to in his presentation [...]

He had an interesting day at work so he went to our place early after I checked with Jeff, and when I got there he and Jeff were ensconced in the living room watching something. Then Jeff and I made dinner (he broiled the chicken breasts to perfection, I must say) and we consumed it [...]

He was supposed to start today but they started him yesterday. I hope for a full report at some point. Watched The Big Red One yesterday. The firefight scenes are great but everything else suffers in comparison to Band of Brothers… especially the music, holy crap it was bad. I made purple food yesterday – [...]

As soon as I got in the car to drive home last night I wrote a song. I’ll be posting the lyrics to my LJ, as looked at in the bright light of morning they seem, uh, a little on the ‘back of the hand to the forehead’ end of the spectrum, not that there’s [...]

Nobody was injured, the cats are fine, and I won’t speak for Jeff but I would describe my current mental state as “spitting out feathers”.

I’m kinda aiming sideways at the screen, since I can’t see all of it. Before I sign off for the day, though, I thought I’d mention something that happened on Sunday. As I walked down Duranleau, I saw the sign for the psychic, and had an overpowering urge to go in. This DESPITE having seen [...]

I have a trip report from a coworker’s family member…. Hi Just back from Stonehenge (88 miles in 90 minutes). And about to go to bed. Went down after supper last night and got there just after midnight due to traffic. Many thousands of revellers (even some regular people with kids, lots of [...]

My happiness at attending the Hilario Duran Trio got wiped outta my heart when I found that George Carlin died yesterday. However I am still happy about meeting Darwin. Some explanation of the pics. The first is a CP train the Luddite owns. He let me touch it. Considering that I break things by scowling [...]
