Back

Sophia staring.

Back after a few days in a cabin on a quiet cove near Sooke B.C. This place was pretty isolated, which was nice.

Just reading and relaxing. There were some horses there which we could get up close to and pet and stuff. There was also this crazy dog, which we threw a tennis ball for, and he would run like crazy.

They had a canoe, so Adam and I headed out for some time on the water.

Really nice time.... until we got on the ferry coming back. The kids were sleeping in the car, so Felicia said she would stay until they woke up. As I was heading up I glanced into the car next to us - it was a couple in their 50's just sitting there. I didn't think anything of it and headed up to get a coffee.

Felicia called about 10 minutes later asking me to come down and give them a hand coming up. As I headed towards the car I glanced again at this same couple - and they were involved in a sexual act!!!

I was in complete shock - my 2 yr. old son and 2 mth. old daughter were in the car RIGHT NEXT to theirs. What if Adam had seen them?

I was pretty ticked - Didn't these people care that there were LITTLE CHILDREN around?

I helped Felicia and quietly told her what was going on. She was as shocked as I was. We walked behind their car, so as to not completely screw up Adam.

When we got to the passenger deck, I asked a Ferry worker what their policy was on this - he said there was not much they could do, except tap on the window and ask them to stop. He said he was pretty shocked that they were doing it when kids were around.

Anyways - more proof of the decline of the western empire. I think I need another shower.

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...
