I guess that means my warantee is up. Karin and I celebrated yesterday by ordering pizza and falling asleep in front of the television. That memorable date June 8, 2005 is when we took possession of our house and spent the day moving junk across the city. It was raining then, too, [...]

And still, we barely even know why.
She, the one of varying behavior, recieved her christmas gift early this year. Dictated by the weather, we paid a visit to the pet store and bought some Muttlucks(R) for the poor, spoilt beast in the form of some flashy, reflective, water-proof, leather-soled micro-boots so that [...]

If my sis, Sharyl, were currently connected to the internet in her state of post-move, she would probably fill a page or so lamenting on the state of her first weekend in the city. As such, she doesn’t and probably won’t. So, needless-to-say, when I get a phone call just moments before I’m [...]

I feel like I should be writing more here.
When I had finished barely-more than two years of lost.in.vancouver, you, the faithful audience, had been treated to seven-hundred and twenty-six entries of varying quality blogness. That works out to (pop out those calculators now) an average of twenty-six entries per month. Average, [...]

Oddly enough the weekend was slightly sentimental.
We finally (after a dozen years) made it to a Barenaked Ladies concert, crashing the Centenial Jam with our free tickets, and bombarding the field-level seating for some stand-up, close-up, rock-up action. Back in ‘93, when I found myself in a rainy mountain field surrounded by ten-thousand boy [...]

Organic growth meets concrete and steel between the cracks of the city.
We planted boxes of small, helpless leafy organisms on our patio — flowers, vegetables, herbs, and fruits — their bundled roots twisting like hundreds of slender white worms through the dark brown soil. I bought thirty litres of dirt, soft and fresh, [...]

A year ago today we checked into the chez d’Edmonton… woke up way too early after driving for way too long the day before. Bel had just racked up nearly thirteen hundred kilometers and had happily guzzled three tanks of gas as she hauled us, nine sets of china, and a digital piano from [...]

I drove down to Hawrelak Park tonight and did a lap around the lake with the new camera. The result, and the only reason I’m writing, was a small handful of much more interesting pics that are now tucked away in my gallery…
Just in case you’re interested.
You know…
No pressure or anything….
I wouldn’t [...]

As part of an ongoing campaign to culture-ify ourselves, Karin and I bought tickets to the “Club Friday” incarnation of the Citadel Theatre’s season ticket offerings. Roughly, this means that every month or so we’re forced to dress up and drag ourselves to a play. Friday (oddly enough also Good Friday) was the [...]

Karin and I started our Sunday with a tour of the city, planning to do a whole thwack of chores and errands. We wound up at Brett and Lenore’s house (after most of the errands were complete) and while Karin and Lenore debated the intracacies of craft supplies, Brett pulled out a borrowed copy [...]

I would like to the pull the erronious nuances of my interaction with the city into a tight bundle and toss them from a tall bridge. There is that lurking feeling, something is again hiding from a travelling circus of reality, like a core buried beneath the teaming surface, locked without light or air, [...]

It begins with a cough. Fatigue. Confusion, and concern. Karin has been sick, and my sleep has been either disjointed or consuming. The two are not directly related.
It’s day zero today. Conception and creation. We have an appointment to make things more official than they ever should perhaps be. [...]
