It’s no secret to those who know me. I’m a simple guy with simple tastes. That doesn’t mean I do not have a wide variety of tastes or that I relax in seeking out the best of each. What it means is that when it comes to me picking out something just for myself I’m […]

Yes, we certainly need them. Summers see the hotels booked solid and with the olympics coming there is no doubt in my mind that we have no space for the coming throngs. Heck, we don’t even know where we’re to put the journalists (on a cruise ship in Squamish?).

I tried to post from my phone on Wednesday but something clearly went amiss in the intertubes and it never got put up. In any case, my post was a status update from the cheap seats of Vanier Park, my new and favourite place to watch the summer spectacular that is the HSBC Celebration of […]

Yesterday was my third wedding anniversary and what better way to celebrate than to take the wife to a patio in one of the trendier restaurants in Yaletown. Goldfish Pacific Kitchen got the call and away we were. First impressions: This place is huge. Space in Yaletown is not cheap and this restaurant/lounge takes up […]

What with the Celtic Fest wrapped up and the St. Patrick’s Day parade in the bag… Happy Monday! Keep the spirit alive and down a pint of something green. Turn on your speakers for this one.
