Hey Vancouver!!!!

We are thinking of celebrating our new found patriotism for the US.

By skipping the country for Thanksgiving.

I have a 4 day weekend coming up and we are contemplating going to Vancouver.

We’re looking for suggestions of things to see/do as well as places to stay.

An important addition to this… Toddler friendly. Kid’s museums, etc.. Suggestions welcomed.

Thanks!

From the same Australian Variety show that introduced us to the Kransky Sisters:

The Umbilical Brothers are probably one of the most innovative, comedic duos since Shields and Yarnell, Mummenschanz and probably Blue Man Group.

RIP Michael Chrichton

Science Fiction Author Michael Chrichton died unexpectedly Tuesday.

Chrichton was the author of a few of my favourite stories including “The Andromeda Strain.”

His eulogy will none the less involve far too much scientific detail and not get around to the actual cause of death until about 2 hours in. Regardless of not comprehending any of this, his Eulogy will be fascinating.

Words for a new day

Last night the people of the USA spoke.
Virginia, Ohio, Colorado, and now Indiana.
States that often represent the quiet minority

Many have felt that government has been broken for quite some time.
That government no longer cares about its people.
That as a nation we had lost our way.

Last evening the nation spoke. It didn’t speak in one voice, but it spoke enough, to change.

I thank jagienka for the words I try to post every year. Words that mean just a little more today than even the wealth of what they carried in the past:

Remember, remember, the 5th of November…

YES WE DID
