Wireless: Today I am dispensing with well over 100 feet of phone wire. There was a time when all this was very handy. I had several innovative setups in different houses where the phone jack was badly located. I haven’t had a land line in years. I may never again have one. Bye bye phone wires… thanks for the memories!
Visitors: There were two Ravens… they were not shy once tempted with food, and even put on a cute song and dance show for me.
Competition: The Ravens were losing to the Whiskey Jacks every time…
Commercial: The Drive rules…
History: We are all full of it, it guides us, teaches us and haunts us too. A recent reminder of days long past has got me looking back. Back to where I hadn’t intended on going, and digging, and thinking, and romanticizing. Now I’m thinking about making contact where it’s probably not wanted. Nostalgia really sucks sometimes. Not always… but sometimes.

This is home: When you get a sunny day out here on the wet coast, you have to take advantage of it. And it’s days like this one that remind me of the wonderful temple of beauty that surrounds me.
Avocado!! Did you know you can bake it with an egg inside? Oh yes, with spices and garlic it’s great!
Grandpa: A few years ago I had a gold tooth put in to replace a dying one. I did it to honour my grandpa. He had a few, and a silver one in the front. His smile would light right up, and his tooth would sparkle in the sun. I always loved that as a kid. xo
Big Blue:So large… mind blowing.
Subtlety: Lately, is seems, the city is winning. Year after year it digs into me deeper and deeper. It has a subtle beauty and charm, along with prickly economical and social tendrils that entwine and entrap.

It’s True: I’m managing all of this, still after all these years. Eric is pretty amazing in small doses.
