The Police


The Police - opening night of World tour -
Vancouver B.C.

2 nights ago I saw the second best concert of my life: The Police were amazing. The best concert was U2 on the Vertigo tour a couple years ago.

They played all their biggest hits - Roxanne got the biggest crowd roar. But everything was good, especially my favorite "King of Pain".

I went with Spencer and he agreed it was fantastic.

Our seats were behind the stage, but only 4 rows away. We both agreed it was better to be here, then to be in the nose bleeds in front of the band - you feel so far away form the action.

I am still on a high from that show.

MY LAST DAY OF ESL TEACHER TRAINING!!!

Next week I teach 3 more times and do some observation reports and I can teach ESL in Vancouver - I'm pretty stoked. Me and a couple of the other guys in the program have tossed around the idea of starting our own ESL business. Bu there are so many schools in Vancouver, we would have to find some kind of unique niche that would attract people - its just a thought for now.

ROXANNE.

Random comedy - Channel surfing tonight and I caught a bit of Simpsons. Homer is driving down the road singing, "My name is Luka, and I live upstairs..." I don't know why but I started laughing really really hard.

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...
