81/365 (March 22, 2010) – Nothing interesting to say today…. I was nose to the grind trying to finish up some work I am doing on a contract that more or less comes to an end in just over a week… whew! That and getting ready for teaching tonight. And in all that I didn’t even think to go pick…

80/365 (March 21, 2010) – Early this morning (well, it felt early since we were up partying until 2am), before we got the Student Cruise underway, the clouds were thick and heavy but a splotch of sunshine lit up the water and a boat in the distance. I love these mornings, it feels like the world is still safely tucked…

79/365 (March 20, 2010) – Patio season has arrived, but really, let’s be honest, to a Canadian ‘Patio season’ is all year as long as the sun is shining and the temperature is above 10 degrees, and even that is being a bit wimpy. We were a bit peckish this afternoon and stopped by Taylor’s Crossing for a plate of…

78/365 (March 19, 2010) – The Stormtrooper is actually a USB flash drive. Pop his head off and stuff his neck into the computer and voila! Cute, eh? The other thing is the new Apple Magic Mouse, it’s pretty nifty too. I saw Star Wars Episode IV in the theatre something like 10 times in 1977. Who knows how many…

77/365 (March 18, 2010) – One of the harbingers of Spring, the water hawthorne starts blooming as early as January some years, if it’s been particularly warm, and continues flowering until long after the crocuses and daffodils are gone. Only when the temperatures rise and the pond water warms up does it retreat to the mud and lie in wait…

76/365 (March 17, 2010) – I had to make a quick run down to Blaine to pick up a few parcels. Shipping to the border and then making the quick drive across saves an awful lot of money on shipping and handling and customs charges. I can’t remember the last time the border guards sent us inside to pay taxes…

75/365 (March 16, 2010) – You might be asking yourself – “What is Oscar?” Well, my answer to that would be – “I’ve been asking myself that same question for over 25 years!” Oscar is a weird lump of clay made by some long forgotten artist (Phil something-or-other) from Prince George. I think I picked Oscar up at a garage…

73/365 (March 15, 2010) – Welcome to the Ides of March. I’m feeling particularly cranky today. I suppose I’ve been simmering for the past couple of weeks but it’s surfacing again today. I did a rough calculation of how much time I’ve given to one volunteer organization in the past year, and it amounted to a whopping (and conservative) 200+…

73/365 (March 14, 2010) – I love curries. Both Indian and Thai. Japanese too, but not quite as much. Funny thing is, I don’t really recall ever really having curries growing up. Scratch that. I never did. My family wasn’t exactly “adventurous” with food. Garlic was considered “Spicy!” But I know exactly when curry really entered into my diet. The…

72/365 (March 13, 2010) – We went to a Giants game last night. They were playing Kamloops and it was a fantastic game. Three periods, one overtime, and then it went to a shootout. In the end the home team (Vancouver) won. It was an awesome game. They play with such heart and their emotions run high. It’s a different…
