333/365 (Nov 29, 2011) – A little bit. But not for any reason you’d think of. I woke up this morning from one of those dreams that is so vivid. In this dream I was teaching a class and when I arrived at the room I was missing a piece of equipment. Kirk ran home to get it for me.…

…so I can still trust them. I remember a book I came across years ago title “Can you trust a tomato in January? The hidden life of groceries revealed at last” So many foods I love can be found in the produce section at this time of year, but they are missing one key thing – flavour! These little hothouse…

331/365 (Nov 27, 2011) – A historical day. Today the BC Lions brought the Grey Cup to Vancouver and took it home. They started out on a 5-0 losing streak, then somehow came back to not only fight for the final game, but take it home on home field. Only the 6th time in 99 years of Grey Cup history.…

We are under rainfall warnings again. Sort of goes with the territory living on the “Wet” Coast. The weather changes so fast on the coast. From sun to rain like flicking a light switch. That’s OK though, if you can’t handle rain you shouldn’t live here. When I first moved here the rain depressed me. Coming from the North, I…

When Mother Nature throws a stellar day at you at the end of November, and when that stellar weather coincides with your day off…. what else is there to do but go for a motorcycle ride? I waited until it warmed up a bit, layered up with thermal stuff, donned the gear, and had a fabulous ride around town, out…

Have you ever been so absolutely taken by a marketing scheme that you thought was not only funny, but downright brilliant? If you are Canadian you will recognize this. If you aren’t Canadian, you will have missed out on this little nugget or marketing ingenuity. A few years ago a marketing intern with Post Foods Canada was thinking about advertising…

A few days ago I alluded to some goings-on and said it had been a strange week. There was some decision making happening, but it is all resolved finally. There was a major choice to be made, but no, it wasn’t made this way. Kirk has been less than satisfied with work in recent months, and some things had happened…

I never knew that I could be so grateful to have discovered what I think is the best line of outdoor clothing around. Icebreaker came to Vancouver in about March and I was interested in it from a travel perspective at first. Lightweight wool seems like a strange concept to stay cool in, and I started to toy with the…

If you aren’t Canadian you may not know what this game is. I grew up on it and it took us ages to find a decent board that didn’t cost a small fortune when we finally went looking for one for ourselves. We found boards that were plastic with wooden veneered surfaces that were substandard for such a historical game.…

324/365 (Nov 20, 2011) – Relaxing morning, followed by brunch at our local haunt, followed by a wander around the Village where this bench was occupied by some fallen leaves. The brisk air generated a desire for a big pot of curried soup simmering away the afternoon for dinner. It was awesome! I just love these crisp days. Now, if…
