Today, I stepped on the Skytrain and was immediately surrounded by approximately 327 six-year-olds wearing toques and waving stuffed bunnies in the air. It seemed all the children in Burnaby had been ordered to evacuate the city en masse, and head towards downtown Vancouver. At least, it appeared that way until a Grown Up shouted [...]

Number of days since I last blogged: 29 Number of kilometers I’ve moved since last post: 979 Population of my previous city of residence: 28,927 Population of my new city of residence: 202,799 Square footage of previous residence: Over 2000 Square footage of new residence: 805 Time it used to take me to get to [...]

I have recently detected a surprising resemblance between the president of Iran, and two notable movie stars. The two young Hollywood meat-cakes are commonly known as Jake Gyllenhall (of Donnie Darko, Jarhead and Brokeback Mountain fame), and Ryan Gosling, who was in that one movie about the history teacher on drugs.

This Wednesday, my friend Harrison arrives in Calgary on a magical jetplane. On Thursday night, a trio consisting of myself, my wife and Harrison will be attending something called the Calgary Folk Festival.

In the process of combining our respective incomes, bank accounts and shopping priorities, it quickly became clear that if we didn’t develop a system for managing our money, we would very quickly not have any. So after some brainstorming, some inspiration, and a whole [...]

This is another dream I had, also during the early morning hours of March 10, 2007. My wife and are on the inside of an enormous skyscraper. There are no upper levels, only a bottom floor — it is just one enormous chamber. The floor, walls and ceiling are all painted white. Through the whiteness, [...]

I had a fascinating dream last night. I woke up at 5:30 am with it still ringing in my mind, and knew I should write it down. I left my room and went into the study to type out all the notes and details I could remember, and then re-wrote it in narrative form later. [...]
