I know it has been a while since I have posted, and I would be inclined to apologize to my reading audience if I thought I had one. But, since I don't really think there are many out there who partake in my ramblings, I will carry on as if everything is amicable.

We went to Calgary and back, and I will post more on that in the days to come. For today, I want to share something here before I move on to spending some quality time with Thomas.


If you have 20 minutes, and are interested in music, or the politics surrounding copyright law, check this out. It is quite interesting.

in between days

I finally have a few minutes to myself on the computer, and even though much time has gone by since my last post, I am having a hard time coming up with a witty or clever story to share with everyone. Instead, I will post a few pictures here so you can see the fun that we have been having.

This is just outside the Children's museum, in Seattle WA. taken right when we got there.


If you look real close, you can see the fake smile Thomas is putting on for the camera. I don't know that either one was really stoked about sitting on the rail for this shot.



There is a fake sound booth in the museum, for the kids to learn how a radio station puts out music. My dad took full opportunity to relive his glory days as one of the premier DJ's* in the 80's, back when Run DMC was rockin it out and the Beastie Boys were getting their big break.

*(this may not be entirely true)

A whirlwind of activity down in Seattle, so much so that we didn't even get to take any pictures at the Pike Place Market because of all the activity. What we didn't know before we got down there, is that this August marks the 100th anniversary of the market, so it is an even larger tourist draw than usual. Parking was scarce, the people were everywhere and the sun gave us much love.

Back from the weekend in Seattle, and on to a string of many many shifts in a row, we are anxiously awaiting this weekends beginning to a weeks worth of holidays. Last Monday we decided to take a time out at Williams Park in Langley, BC. It just so happened to be BC day, a lovely statutory holiday that people in the normal working world get to enjoy. Me, I had to work that night, but before I went, we spent some time with friends just enjoying life.



The bbq warrior and the hot dog warrior, both having a break from a wild game of soccer, frisbee pig in the middle, and cold cold water rushing in the creek. This is definitely what summer is all about.
