Cinderella 2015 the Disney Edition
I received an invite to an advance screening of Cinderella 2015, the new Disney version of the classic movie for yesterday evening. Of course my invite included a “plus one”. So I figured this was a good time to have a father-daughter bonding evening. Add to the fun of father-daughter bonding time, it was fun…

The Foreigner – A Top Secret Farce
I am very much looking forward to seeing John Voth in the Arts Club Theatre Company’s performance of their “top secret farce” The Foreigner at the Evergreen Cultural Centre next week! The preview for the play says; All Charlie wanted was a little peace and quiet. So when he arrives at a fishing lodge in…

Kid’s Swap Meet
I’m not sure how the retailers who sell new baby/toddler clothes and toys and stuff actually stay in business with the growth of Craigslist, thrift stores, and swap meets dedicated to kid related stuff. Having a kid (or two or three) is expensive and you are wise to find ways to economize and help recycle…

City of Coquitlam and YMCA Working Out
Don’t be surprised if you hear Coquitlam residents running around singing the YMCA song in the coming days and weeks. Today we learned that Coquitlam is one step closer to a new community recreation facility with the signing of an Agreement in Principle by the City of Coquitlam and the YMCA of Greater Vancouver. The…

The Bachelor 2015
Okay, so this is confession time – I have a great deal of difficulty dealing with the remote control for the television-PVR combo unit that sits in our living-room. In my defence, I do not watch much television. I suppose that is partly because I cannot turn the tv on, but other than that fact,…

The Odd Couple at the Evergreen Cultural Centre
While I was down at the Evergreen Cultural Centre this evening looking at the light display, I saw a poster in the theatre box office for one of my favourite plays – The Odd Couple. This is another of the Arts Club Theatre’s traveling shows which makes me happy. I don’t have to drive to…

Stay and Play in Coquitlam
Rather than doing too much driving this holiday season, consider staying local and enjoying everything the season has to offer right in your home community. If Coquitlam is local for you, their holiday programs and special events, as well as drop-in recreation activities will keep everyone healthy and on track. Kids can go for a…

Shave of the Day – the Unkown Shave Soap
Last week I used up the last of my Shaving Yetis Shore Leave shave soap so I needed to grab a new soap off the shelf of my shave cave. The funny thing is, I can’t remember who made the shave soap that I grabbed this morning! Which is too bad because, in every way it…

The Value of Artisan Produced Goods
There is a movement, a resurgence of manufacturing taking place in North America. The resurgence is taking place with small mom and pop type shops. This is a movement away from massive factories with hundreds of workers chained (figuratively speaking, of course) to machines. People like Railcar Fine Goods – makers of fine denim wear.…
