The 80′s were a revolutionary period in music. OK, so were the 50′s, 60′s and 70′s…but the 80′s seem to have staying power. I was lucky enough to get tickets to Duran Duran and the show was last night. Sometimes when groups from the past do a tour in the today, they lean too much on their material from way…

OK, so the Beatles meant something different from what I’m currently pondering, but I’m inspired by tunes and lyrics so go with it. Digital photography/videography really was a revolution though. Think about it. When we used film, we save the shot to try to get the moment. Developing wasn’t cheap, so when you got a good shot, I mean a…

Nature is teasing us again. It’s been a chilly winter and last weekend the mercury rose to 19 degrees suggesting an end was near. Five days later is it only 5 degrees out and the prediction is for snow on the weekend!?! And we have plans to take the boat out tomorrow for the first time this season? This doesn’t…

I found Flickr, and I love it! One of my best friends is on it, I noticed it in her Facebook, what a wonderful thing! Photos have a bad habit of languishing about in albums, or with the widespread use of digital imagery, on hard drives. What a shame! Time spent taking a picture to capture a moment, and then…

How much junk do we all have? A lot. I bet if we all really took a hard look at what we own, we could live without the vast majority of it. Sure, we think “Oh no, I need that, really I doâ€. But then all it takes is to go for a walk in an poor area, and you…

Spring officially arrived March 21st…so where is it? Since then we’ve had snow and rain and frost…and the ski hill just a short jaunt up the road from me has more snow than ever! Mom called me last weekend and it was minus 14? In April? Apparently the last week of March was the coldest on record for Vancouver! What’s…

The exact destination is still to be determined, but I’m sure it will be fun wherever we end up and whoever we meet.We thought we had it all figured out. We were going to head up the Corinth…

Kids? Who needs those…there are enough cat toys lying around to make up for the lack of children’s toys. I cleaned the apartment up the other day…collected 32 random cat toys from under the bed, dressers, the coffee table, in the closets etc. It took all of five minutes for three to be pulled from the basket and redistributed.…

Again, yesterday morning I heard beeping coming from somewhere. After tearing the bedroom apart I finally found the culprit. The other half had been on a short trip South and used one of my bags, he also used my travel alarm clock and didn’t “quite” have it in the full off position. Mystery solved, sanity restored!
