“Seek the Yay. Avoid the Woo. Be Brave. Don’t Burn Yourself.” – The We Trip (1995 I think?) Some of you are joining our program already in progress, while coming in from NaBloPoMo or Movember, so I thought I’d cop out on plot today and go for a little character development instead. I work in…

I’m outta practice… Need. More. Sushi.
Went out for dinner tonight with Arwen’s mom & faux pa, and since Fridays are kinda special for us, we chose sushi at Downtown Sushi in our old stomping grounds. They’ve got a little upscale on some of the fancier rolls, bucking the standard Vancouver “sushi places almost outnumber Starbucks” pricing of $3-$4 for your…
Nerd Alert
I’m not going to put up photos for another day or two, but I’m taking shots daily, so maybe by tomorrow or Friday. In the meantime, if you got a few bucks kicking around, and can’t think of anything better to do with them than give ’em to some sorta good cause, like maybe Movember?…
NobemverPoMoustyclonobo
Long post warning: You has it. November 2nd. No point in posting the picture of my alleged moustache, ’cause there’s hardly anything there unless I have *just* finished shaving with a Bic, and I don’t have a camera or the patience to even bother getting anything approaching a macro setting for some hairs on my…
NaBloPoCycloMovember: Day 1
Hi, I have decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to prostate cancer.  I’m doing this by growing a Moustache this Movember, the month formerly known as November. My commitment is to grow a moustache all November and I am hoping that you will support my efforts by making a…
Pedaling My Butt Around Town (Reloaded)
Warning: This (freakishly long) post is about me, my bike, an omelet, and my mom. If you’re looking for geekery and music stuff, skip this post. Middle of last week, I had a terrible ride home. I had driven a CAN car back to Rupert station, which is outta my way by quite a bit,…
Happy Screaming Birthday, Tate
We had 8 kids here today. Two of them were ours, and while there were a few tears, and lots of screaming, I think most of it was happy screaming. I may have to steal the Nerf gun Tate got, though, or at least modify it so he can pull the pump on it. The…
Peddling my butt around town. Month One.
So, we moved. We told you that, right? We didn’t? Well, we moved. 4 bedrooms instead of two (one for each kid). Front and back yards. Washer & dryer (drier?). Dishwasher (which isn’t hooked up – don’t ask). Something called “Laths and Plaster” or something like it, which means that hammering is a very dangerous…
“Aggressive Panhandling” or Failed Mugging?
Triggered by something over at MonkeyPants, and realized her comment system would probably explode if I wrote my diatribe into there, so I put it here, instead. Working in the business district downtown, you get a lot of the guys who’re “from outta town who just need enough to get to SomewhereElse for a job…
Ny Fangers Are Spre.
Warning, geekery ahead, and not the fun “hey, press this button and blow up your computer” kinda way that I often think about, but just some nuts & bolts thoughts about New Jobs, and Units of Work, and Things. Rambliness. So, we’re into week four of the New Job (or is it week five?) and…
