A bitter-sweet reminder of both the worst and the best of humanity is approaching as we once again approach September.  There are countless 9-11 Memorial events across both Canada and the USA each fall since the events which captured our attention and changed the world as we knew it.  Countless lives were defined that day by what [...]

June 3, 2010 - GM Place, Vancouver
Unfortunately Breaking Benjamin did not make the concert.  Small signs announced their absence at the entrance doors and a refund was available if you just turned in your tickets without entering the venue.  A disappointment to be sure, but I don’t know how many people bought tickets just to [...]

May 30, 2010: Vancouver Motorcycle Ride to Live
Sunday, May 30th dawned a little grey and cool for the end of May, but the rains of Saturday had ended and the air was clean and roads were clear.  The great folks at the Ride to Live organized a wonderful event starting with the closure of Boundary [...]

I had the opportunity to spend a short time at the show on Thursday evening. The crowds were light, but I didn’t get a chance to wander the whole show. On Saturday I was back for the ‘full meal deal’.

Vancouver in the winter is a mixed bag of weather.  Today, November 11th, it rained, hailed, had small clearings in the clouds and was a brisk 6 degrees Celcius.  I suppose you can rely on the Vancouver truism that weather is
dependant on where you are at the moment.  If you don’t like it you can [...]

I suppose I should start to get excited about the coming Olympics in Vancouver.  It seems a little surealistic hosting the Olympics here, since it’s my home town.  I suppose that most people who live in an Olympic town feel the same way at some time.  After all, this is my home.  In Vancouver there [...]
