grey day blues




weather was crappy all day - grey and rainy like freaking winter.

summer is gone out the window and with it all my dreams.

no videos i want to see - might go see war of the worlds on monday.

big football game tomorrow - labour day classic - sk vs. winnipeg. - starts at 4.

me and the boy again tonight - he had the giggles tongiht and couldn't stop laughing. it was hilarious.

i think i need a hobby - all i do with my time off is read and watch tv. what do other people do to occupy their spare time? i looked up hobbies on the internet and went to a site about model airplanes. somehow i don't see myself building a model airplane and then joining some club of other guus that build model airplanes - meeting in come community center or school basement talking about - how the heck should i know what?

hmmmm - hobby - maybe photography - i like taking photos. maybe i'll take a class on digital photography and learn some stuff.

oh - a lot of blogs ago i talked about how i was going to chart my weight loss on here - well i picked up a hobby that sort of ran counter to that goal - i am trying every flavour of ben and jerrys ice cream to determine which is my favourite. so far i've had - cherry garcia, choclate chip cookie dough, coffee, mint chocolate cookie, new york super fudge chunk, the gobfather.

tonight i got chunky monkey - so far cherry garcia is the best. i'm gonna stay fat - sad sad sad.

The self-driving car comes closer
It is an old chestnut-a car that drives itself-but General Motors, the world's largest car manufacturer, has become the latest company to claim to be building one.
Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!

I have a work from home company site. It pretty much covers work from home company related stuff.

Come and check it out if you get time :-)

Hey what about a book club? just an idea. Though i would stick to photography if I were you. It's more fun if you are seeking a bit of solitude.

Last night we hosted a wine and cheese party for our floor. Out of the 11 other people that live on our floor, 5 came over. It was really fun. We had 3 kinds of cheese, crackers, red wnd white wine, baklava, fruit and other goodies. It was really great getting to know some of the folks on our floor. We have always talked about doing it so it was nice to finally pull it off. One of our neigbours is a concierge at the 4 seasons. She said one of the oddest guest requests was a guest from Texas who wanted 100 A&W ketchup packets. He said he really liked their ketchup - I guess. Finished " Joyful Exiles " so unfortunately no more excerts for you - buy the book. Have moved on to " A Grief Observed " by C.S. Lewis . This might seem like an odd choice - I'm not really grieving the death of anyone or anything like that. I just have a personal goal of reading everything Lewis wrote. In the past few weeks I've finished Miracles and Mere Christianity (sorry - I got ...

Coaster goes up (a little)

Unused photo from the Globe and Mail shoot. So, last night and all day today I was on the top floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in downtown Vancouver. Quite auspicious surroundings for church council/pastors meetings! there were stunning views of the North Shore mountains, Stanley Park and the downtown buildings. The meetings were lengthy, exhausting and a lot of work. Basically, FBC has been on a year long journey of crafting its vision statement and core values - we did it with the assistance of a coach from Outreach Canada. We are coming down the home stretch and needed to hammer out everything for presentation to the congregation. Today was the first day that I have begun to feel lighter and ready to resume the work. Although still feeling wounded from this whole mess, I'm ready to limp on. It's true: Sunday,Monday - elation at finally reaching a goal of holding a first@night service in a trendy nightclub - excitement at getting press coverage - even thoug...

Oh no, Dr. Montgomery!

"Healthcare in the heart of Yaletown - if you can afford it" For the past 6 years I have had the same physician: Dr. Brian Montgomery. We are quite close and I call him Brian. He knows me inside and out (literally). This is the longest period of time I have had the same doctor. We have quite a good relationship. I've invited he and his partner over to our place, but we've never been able to sync our schedules up. Well, I am sad to say our professional relationship is over. Brian will no longer be my doctor. I made the decision earlier this evening. As I was watching the news, Brian's face all of a sudden popped up - His clinc - the Mainland Clinic - is now going to start charging its patients to make appointments. The fees are going to be $30/appt. or $75 for the year to become a "member" of the clinic. The only motivation I can see is obviosuly money. The physcians obviously decided that the amounts they were billing the government was not enough. I hol...
