OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA I told a whale of a story on the night of my prom as well but, it was 80's and these things were expected at the time.1960-something Ford Econoline Van parked by the Riverfront on a rainy New Westminster day.West Jet Float in the 2011 Vancouver Santa Claus Parade.Legend tells that he's been walking back and forth through the mist there since the land the Shaw Tower is built on was still part of Burrard Inlet...Not sure why this gentleman felt the need to drive his motorcycle into Jaume Plensa's sculpture but, well, there you have it.On a Kingsway Street with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fireboycreative/">Jeff</a>OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA The Koala Punk is in town this weekend and, as it turns out, was a few schekels short of the tab for dinner. Not a problem for this resourceful 8 year old. He laid his hat down and started slinging Yo like Eisenhower was still president. In no time at all, he had enough to cover the steak and the lobster, after I took my cut of course.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA The cranes are actually next door but, looming large over Vancouver's famed 2400 Motel, the immaculately preserved 1940's motor hotel on Kingsway. Last of it's breed, Kingsway used to be dotted with Motels but they're almost all gone now. Last November, the city voted to redevlop this parcel of land, which it has owned since 1989.

While Friday was actually Trajan's second Remembrance Day, he was still fully wired in at the NICU for his first and couldn't attend any ceremonies. Given that the wonderful universal health care that he benefited so greatly from last year was largely the doing of the generation of Canadians who served in the second world war, we thought it especially important that he attend a ceremony this year. Good habits start early. Knowing though that the grand pomp and circumstance of the main observances inAlways a fun ride on a summer evening, passing by Playland as it does.The Chinese New Year's Parade went off amongst all the other insanity yesterday, on fast forward this year because of the Olympics and the Eastside Women's march. Still a great turn out and the weather turned lovely.
