Tokyo Police Club

It was nice to get out of town and see a show. The Tokyo Police Club played a great show and Attack in Black and Smoosh opened for them. Good Times!

Very Hush Hush

OK kids, here's what's going on this weekend in Nelson. My friends are opening up 

'Very Hush Hush' the Airstream shop and that means all sorts of crafty goodness for you.

This is one of the coolest stores you'll ever come across so if you're in Nelson this summer go and check them out.

Just got back from LA on Monday and I'm glad to be home but we had a wonderful time in the big city. If you don't have a '64 Impala to cruise around LA in....its really not worth the trouble...Oh, and Denise Richards is doing alright...just so you know.

Vote for my Radiohead remix

OK so I remixed 'Nude' by Radiohead and now you can listen to it and vote for it. Go and do it...do it now.

The sun is coming out more and more but when I look at a photo like this and remember standing there back in November I can't help but want to go away and do a little traveling.

Spring? Whatever!

Hockey

Its Saturday in Spring...it may be the last hockey game of the season. I have more than completely enjoyed playing my 1st season of hockey ever. It has been a great (sometimes painful) experience learning how to skate and then start playing hockey. There's not a lot of opportunities, as a beginner adult, to play hockey. I was fortunate to get into a co-ed league where there was room for a beginner like myself. I'm going to miss it....it made me feel more Canadian.

Time to go outside and play..although that's where I play all the time anyway...whatever. By play I guess I mean 'work' in the yard. Now that the snow is gone....all the jobs that were hiding are very prominent now. I think building a fence is high on the list so that we don't have the whole neighborhood checking us out when we're trying to drink gin+tonics on the deck. A fence will provide some privacy.

I'm glad to say that it is still winter in the mountains. There is only remnants of snow down here at the valley bottoms and the newest green is starting to sprout. It happens every year around here; people just stop going to the hill even though the snow is good. That makes people like me happy because there are no line-ups and more snow to be had. I have looked at the Mtn. bike but the trails aren't clear yet and who wants to ride on the dirty road?

Just putting a photo up. The snow is melting fast around here but the riding is still good up at the hill. I'll be able to drive the '63 wagon out of storage soon and get it ready for the race season.

Happy St. Patrick's Day....I think things are going to get ugly after hockey tonite....there was talk of a keg in the dressing room...can't see that going wrong.....

Ridge Geyserville 2001

Drink wine....its good for you.

So Ridge makes a good product. I've had this bottle kicking around for several years and it was a pleasure to drink. Since I love wine it makes good economical sense to have bottles in the $10 or less range kicking around for liesurely drinking. A few that have been good buys are of the South American variety.

Finca Flichman Syrah has been around for years and it has maintained a great consistency for under $10 per bottle. You really need a case of this.

Finca Los Primos Malbec is another great buy that will please most discerning palettes. Also coming in under $10 a bottle in the expensive BC liquor stores. A case of this is also a must.

If you can....buy your wine in Alberta.
