Living and working in Victoria, B.C. Centre of the Universe. August 25, 2010. What a great night to visit the Dominion. Observatory. I know I’ve been there before, but really don’t remember when it was I was last on top of Little Saanich Mountain. You can see the main observatory dome from many places in Victoria, and it’s always just kind of been something that’s “there”. Tonight, the last night of my summer vacation (5 days, woo! We took the trip up the hill. Page for a couple grainy videos, too. I Too...

Day Tripping | Thanks For Asking
https://thanksforasking.wordpress.com/2010/10/21/day-tripping
Living and working in Victoria, B.C. October 21, 2010. The industry on the Fraser is really fascinating to me and something I find really beautiful about Vancouver. Victoria is a harbour city too, so we have some light and heavy industry on our waterways and it’s something that’s really important to keeping our local economy healthy. Most of these jobs are well paying, and I worry sometimes about the residential development that is happening around our waterways. Responses to “Day Tripping”. Enter your e...

Music Box | Thanks For Asking
https://thanksforasking.wordpress.com/2010/07/05/music-box
Living and working in Victoria, B.C. Dining on the Docks. Centre of the Universe. July 5, 2010. Music has been a big part of my life. Since I was very little. Sometimes I wonder about people who don’t listen to music, who don’t have any special connections to music from periods of time in their lives. It just seems so empty. I guess they have John Hughes movies instead. I remember the first album I called. Actually the first two. Do you remember yours? Billy Joel, ‘Glass Houses’. A particularly enjoyable...

Trapshoot! | Thanks For Asking
https://thanksforasking.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/trapshoot
Living and working in Victoria, B.C. March 29, 2011. My Dad, Ken, worked for decades selling hardware at ‘Simpson’ Sears in Hillside. Many, many people bought tools from him and Sears was a like an extended family to all of us. Later, he sold real estate and had many loyal clients over the years. It seemed we could not go anywhere without someone stopping to say hi. Like baseball, golf or trapshoot. Of course, this was before most anyone had heard of a computer. Front row, far right).

Event Planner | Thanks For Asking
https://thanksforasking.wordpress.com/2010/10/22/event-planner
Living and working in Victoria, B.C. October 22, 2010. This year has been particularly full of events, which usually add to the already sometimes heavy workload that my job entails. If you’ve got a 60 hour week coming up and there’s an event to plan for and attend, it’s simply piled on. It’s a bit of a double edged sword, as most of these extra-curricular activities are genuinely. Had prepared the ‘Japanese Cowboy’, a cocktail consisting of Bulleit bourbon, sake, sweet vermouth and bitters...Over One ...

Rather Be Sleeping | Thanks For Asking
https://thanksforasking.wordpress.com/2010/08/26/rather-be-sleeping
Living and working in Victoria, B.C. Centre of the Universe. August 26, 2010. Mostly, cooks are happy with the occasional three day weekend, which allows you time to get really loaded and recover and still one day to hang out and enjoy your day off before heading back to work, where you will have to make up for it. Four day weekend? You best get the hell out of town, because these are rare, especially in the peak season(s). Me? I took the opportunity to camp for one night at the Sooke Potholes. And sR...
