I experimented with a new WordPress “theme” last night, you know, I thought “Lingonberry” looked pretty fresh…
I also read there that “content would not be affected” ha haaaaaaa!!!!!
Not True.
I’ve put out calls for help. The lines are open!
So Bill and I finally make it out to Harrison Hot Springs…hallelujah!
I check my email and see that ‘Serengeti,’has been nominated for an “Akademia Music Award”
out of Los Angeles. far out. I get a call from my brother Kerry, and find out that Dad has had a bad fall and is in hospital,
needing an operation. whoa. Bill and I sat by the fire for a long while, staring into the dancing flames…
The old man made it through. I spoke with him today and his tone anyway, was good. We have a room with a view and it’s
all you could ever want.
Last year right on Daylight Savings the ants showed up. Like they were taking their cue from the Great Ant conductor in the sky. Sometime last week I started making preparations, so I might be able to head them off at the pass this year. At every entry point, I laid out a mixture of cornmeal and borax, while sending them strong telepathic messages not to come at all !
ha haaaaa!
do not come
go eat somewhere else please !
so far…no ants! TT__HH___AAA__NN__KK__YYYY__OO__UUUUUUUU !!!!! Ants…and uncles…
It’s winter in Canada. That mysteriously long seeming season that settles whitely across most of our wide land for months. CBC radio is a lifeline. People go to concerts and shows to warm themselves by the fires of Art and Culture. It’s cool, in every way! Vancouver is like the unfrozen area at the edge of the pond so to speak, where the ducks can still swim around. Lucky ducks.
So come warm yourselves January 22/23, and swim around, you lucky duck. How does a downtown Vancouver Caribbean island sound to you? Reservations 604 – 568-5882.

The cool thing about being in the city is you can always go somewhere you’ve never been before. Here in the West End I only have to go a block or two to find fresh terrain. Tonight, it’s blackly pouring with rain and I’ve discovered if I listen to FM 96.1 while I’m driving, it makes me chuckle.http://www.am1470.com/splash.php Listening to the choppy and percussive “music” of the Cantonese language, broken up by an occasional English word or phrase, is very entertaining to a simple person like me. For eg: @#$%^&*()_+” “Metrotown” #$%^&*()_+” Surrey Auto Mall”, and so on…it certainly breaks up the monotony of listening to regular English all the time, as well as the rain.
So I drove to my refried beans guy on Davie and stocked up. Then I noticed a new fish shop next door and decided to check it out. Hey this place smells fishy…what a revelation! The Daily Catch www.dailycatch.org 
turned out to be the coolest fish shop of all time. In fact they’re in league with the Vancouver Aquarium and all their fish is 100% sustainably caught. They are the only fish shops in Vancouver that can claim this. In addition, you can take home any one of six delicious marinades, gratis, to make your fish even better (and possibly less fishy – lol) I swear there were two beautiful mermaids behind the counter helping the customers.
word association…there are no rules to this game.
your turn!

…and how much the celebration of our freedom to love means, on the world stage.
St.Andrews Wesley Church and Jamie Croil of Jazz Vespers are kindly hosting us.
Where: The Wall Centre Outdoor Stage – Burrard/Nelson right across from the church.
When: Saturday August 2nd 4 – 5 pm.
So c’mon…jump in!
😉
Everything in the West End seems to build up to the Pride Parade happening this weekend…The Fireworks series, the many towers getting washed down, cleaned up, and drilled upon…On top of all that is the little Ziggurat project they’re working on right next to me (which sounds a lot like dental work) One way and another, I figure it’s a great time to escape the clutches of the city and lean my arm up on the juice bar at the old hippy hangout in Roberts Creek, the Gumboot Cafe. Seraphina enjoys these types of outings. We’ll be playing Wayne and Patti Miller’s original music and Patti will dance! They are born – again Hawaiians. Summertime music will be made, and a good time will be had by all.
