Vancouver

I have had two trips since my last post, one to Vancouver and one (really short) to Ottawa.

I spent four days in Vancouver in early June, just hanging out with my brother and wandering around the city (well, wandering around the Granville Market). I managed to spend a few minutes with Emlene on the day I arrived and then she was off for a one-week holiday with her sister in the U.S.

I saw a little bit of "the boy" (nephew Roddy), but people his age seem to really come alive after we, the older folks, are thinking about going to bed. However, I did get to hear him practising on the piano, playing and singing his own material. The boy is good. He plays base in two bands, but I love to listen to his own creations.

My friend Pam was at a job fair at UBC the same week, so she stayed with us for the Saturday night and left at some godforsaken time on Sunday morning. I dragged her down to Granville Market and back (on foot). We had to stop for a beer on the way home.

Go, Westjet!!!
