  • A Family Day in the Sun

    Today being a gloriously sunny day, I decided to skip out of my weekly lunch meeting at the Dot Com Pho and take my girls for a day on the town. We jumped aboard the Skytrain in Burnaby and headed downtown. I asked the girls if they wanted to go on a harbour cruise and…

  • The Best Christmas Moment EVER

    Okay, I have a blog post about a new leather bag that I want to share with you (thank you Avallone Leather for not harassing me to get your gorgeous messenger bag back even though I promised to send it back more than a few days ago) and I have a blog post about my new…

  • Lunar New Year and a Walkabout in Vancouver’s Chinatown

    Went for a walkabout in Vancouver’s Chinatown. Here are a few pics. Enjoy.                                                                                    …

  • Public Washroom Comparisons; East Van Vs West Van

    I knew that today I would have the opportunity to visit Ambleside Beach in West Vancouver and Trout Lake in East Vancouver so I thought I would compare the washroom facilities in these parks. First up was the public washroom at Ambleside. The “decor” can best be described as Soviet-era chique. Next up was the…

  • The Inner Sanctum of Paladin Security

    Perhaps my favourite part of being a blogger is being allowed past doors with signs that say Restricted Area. While I was on my end-of-the-summer cruise to Alaska I was invited behind a door like this, THREE times. I had a tour of the massive kitchen of the Celebrity Century and later on the cruise…

  • A Day About Town With Papa

    Seeing as Sweetheart was going to be stuck in the office for most of the day and it was sunny outside, well sort of sunny, I decided to make it a day to be out and about in the city with my little ones today. As it turns out, the day the day turned out…

  • Skytrain Adventures

    The single best $5 I have spent in a very long time was the three-zone ticket to ride the Skytrain. We boarded the “choo-choo train” (as my little ones call it) along the Millenium Line, rode around through New Westminster, Burnaby and Vancouver. We got off at the Broadway/Commercial Drive Station, walked across to the…

  • What Do You Do If Your Barber is Away?

    Quick poll question aimed more at the male population in my readership than the females, however the female population is more than welcome to chime in; if you walk into the place where you get your hair cut and see you someone other than your usual barber or hair-cutter person standing there, do you put…

  • Canadian Farm Boy Prank

    Proof that you can never underestimate the innovativeness of Canadian Farm Boys: At a high school in Saskatchewan, a group of boy students played a prank. They let three goats loose inside the school. But before turning them loose, they painted numbers on the sides of the goats: 1, 2 and 4. School Administrators spent most of the…
