Okay, apparently it’s almost Friday, and I really don’t know where the week went.  It’s just been crazy-busy at work, and with my Sweetheart away visiting friends in Seattle for the last few days, I’ve been keeping busy with Tanya stuff.
Last night, for instance, Vern and I went out to see “The Illusionist ” [...]

Let’s see…  I’ll do point form for now, and elaborate a bit more later:
– Michael and I were actually a bit early waiting on the corner for our ride to Saltspring with Tim & Jody
– Tim & Jody were a few minutes late arriving, due to Friday afternoon insanity on the roads
– We were five [...]

This chick absolutely cannot WAIT until the weekend.  The week is dragging for me, big-time, and not because of lack of things to do.  I’m just dog-tired, and I really need to unwind from all this stress around me lately.
So, this weekend couldn’t come soon enough!  Tim, Jody, Michael and I are heading [...]

Everyone remember this day?
Well, my hair has reached it’s original length it was before that photo was taken (almost all the way down my back), and it’s way too freekin’ long to do anything with anymore.
Not to mention it’s driving me completely nuts, because it’s in such horrific condition.
So, in 25 minutes, this chick is [...]

Have you ever had a conversation with someone while you were in the stall of a bathroom, thinking it was one of your friends (and they thinking the same) only to find out when you both exit, that they were a complete stranger?
That’s what happened to me last night!  I was out with Miranda, Reilly, [...]

Well, Blow Me Down …

…I just love sinking my teeth into a creative, after-hours project when it’s focus is something that I’m passionate about.
Zoë, for the past year, has been asking me about a way to build an online community to share our reviews on wines around the world, as well as provide details about local wine-related events.  I had originally [...]

From MSNBC:
$14,000 spent on rented rotary phone
CANTON, Ohio – A widow rented a rotary dial telephone for 42 years, paying what her family calculates as more than $14,000 for a now-outdated phone.
Read More…
Okay… So I gotta ask… Why the heck didn’t this 82 year-old’s grandchildren look at her bills before now?  And, was this lady [...]

What a truly *remarkable* medical system we have!  Once again, it’s really let down one of my family members…
Penney got ready to head to the hospital yesterday to do some preliminary tests for the following day’s scheduled surgery, only to be told that there “wasn’t enough staff” to go ahead with the process.  So, after [...]

I’ve been preoccupied, lately.  So much so, that I haven’t been enjoying life as much as I should.  I’ve been kinda down, crabby and irritable, and generally not a very pleasant person to be around.   I know, I know… The photos seem to tell a different story, and those times captured recently have been really [...]

We were out last weekend (Saturday, to be precise) with my brother Todd and his wife, Diane… And, what was supposed to be dinner at Kams and a drink after, turned into a night of pub hopping — Aptly referred to as the “Family Pub Crawl”.  After a yummy, filling dinner at Kams on Denman, we went [...]

Okay, now this is really, really silly.
Woman shoots husband because he shot her pet chicken
CHESHIRE, Ore. – An Oregon woman was arraigned Tuesday, accused of shooting her husband after he shot her pet chicken.
The Eugene Register-Guard reported that Mary Kay Gray, 58, was jailed Monday on felony assault charges. Her husband, Stanley Gray, is [...]

I had my life do just that, this morning.
While walking to work today, my life came literally an inch from ending.  We’re talking squashed-on-pavement, not-a-pretty-scene type of ending.  A car, a blue blur (which is all I could make of it) ran a red light seconds after the walk sign had appeared at the crosswalk in front [...]

Hi All!  Just a quick update before I start work to let you know that the basic version of the albums are up!   They are populating from Flickr, so until I get the rest of my historical photos up, you’ll only get what’s currently on my Flickr account for now!
Just click on Albums [...]

KARMA UPDATE: (July 13, 2007)

Bryan at Reo Rafting found this entry some time ago, and today he wanted to make sure that I had a fresh experience in which to base my rafting adventures on! I want to thank Bryan for giving me the opportunity to go on another trip to [...]
