Day 67 – Toasted Marsh-Milo

67/365 (March 8, 2010) – OK, I’m playing a frantic game of catch up after being away from my computer for over a week and this was the best I could do today. We rarely turn our heat on in the bedroom but since I work at my computer during the day, I have a little space heater to keep…

Day 66 – Gizmo – Devil in Disguise

66/365 (March 7, 2010) – Love him. Hate him. Sometimes want to roast him alive. He screams when i want silence. Tries to attack the cats when they get too close. And has tantrums like a two year old. He’s middle aged now, and not going anywhere any time soon. Sometimes that’s great. Other times… well, we’ll just leave it…

Day 65 – Saturday Afternoon in the Marina

65/365 (March 6, 2010) – Home again, home again. Bring on the weather. The day was stunning and we got out on the scooter and visited Granville Island for some much needed groceries. The city seems to be breathing a collective sigh of relief. The Olympics are over. Canada did amazingly. And things are getting back to normal in Vancouver.…

Day 64 – Almost Home

34/365 (March 5, 2010) – Almost home. Ontario was great, seeing a friend was wonderful. But there is no sight I appreciate more than the sight of the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Yes, I also love the interior Rockies, but these mountains…they mean home. Even if they do also represent dormant volcanoes.

Day 63 – Ice, Ice, Baby!

63/365 (March 4, 2010) – OK, now this was really cool! We spent the day exploring the area surrounding Thunder Bay and found a conservation site. And at said location, a ice sailboat race was underway. Yes, that was cool, but the massive chunks of ice thrust up agains the shore…now that was way cooler! Back home (Northern BC) the…

Day 62 – A New Day in Thunder Bay

62/365 (March 3, 2010) – Sunrise. The time of day when the world just seems to stretch and rub it’s eyes. I love this time of day because it is peaceful and seems to be holding its breath before the chaos of the day unfolds. The thing is, I never seem to witness my favourite time of day unless I…

Day 61 – Waiting for Spring

61/365 (March 2, 2010) – When I lived in the North I never noticed birch trees unless I was looking for fire starter. Then I moved to the coast and suddenly noticed that there were no birch trees. You never know what you have until it’s gone? Hanging out in Thunder Bay with my girlfriend, the birch trees were plentiful…

Day 60 – I Finally Found Some Winter

60/35 (March 1, 2010) – I love winter. I admit it. I’m sure I’m not a complete oddity in that. It comes from growing up in the North and then moving South to an environment that exchanges rain for snow (most of the time). Winter brings cold, but it also clears the air, brightens up the world, and affords a…
