It’s a beautiful day

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

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 [...]

Nothing but pix

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

So, in no partic’lar order.  The broom made me think “Hogwarts is missing a student!”; and the bunny was a creature dumped on Burnaby Mountain by some schlunk, may he or she encrust the worst part of hell, BUT the story has a happy ending and the bunny was rescued; Patricia, LTGW and Francis at [...]

Atheist quotes

Amazing!  Stupendous!  There are old friends and new gems in here, have fun.

And then my heart burst with joy

Friday, June 27th, 2008

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 [...]

Beautiful clouds

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Some of my favourite cloud formations are shown here.

ScaryClown was here

Friday, June 27th, 2008

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 [...]

Keith started early

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

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 – [...]

I wrote a song last night. Like, late last night.

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

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 [...]

What a bleeping day

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

To preserve the dignity and privacy of those involved, I will not recount some of the events of this evening. 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”. Jericho was fine; I heard my first ever submarine shanty, [...]

Keith got the job

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

woot!!!  so he will be working in his field as he waits to write his licensing exam in October. I’m so happy I could kick my shoe over the moon.

New Puppy (Migraine better thanks….)

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Dave @ OneLegWest has posted pics of his puppy Max’s first day at home. Check out how happy Jake is to see the new arrival…. I feel so much better and the sun is shining so delightfully that I’m off to Jericho tonight. Did I mention the whole fam damily was over last night for [...]

Migraine, Psychic

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

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 [...]

Just back from Stonehenge….

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

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 [...]

Goodbye George/Hullo Darwin

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

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 [...]
