My Birthday is Coming Up and I Woke Up To This...

Many people look at me and say that I look about 10 years younger than my real age. Well, after waking up this morning, fuzzy brained again (thanks Mr. Meister), I saw this little present on my face!. No wonder people think I look young. I'm still getting ZITS! My birthday is coming up, (I'll be 38) and this is the present I get? A little reminder of my adolescence. Great.


Some bad news today on the Eagle watch...one of the eggs is gone. Probably the first egg that is way past it's due date. It will be sad to see those eagles if the other egg is not viable. I guess they will just fly off. It seems like they are trying really hard to hatch the other egg but I can kinda tell it isn't gonna work. The mom just got up and started squawking and there was only one egg in the nest. The site is so over loaded, it's hard to get a good viewing of it without hiccups. I have to keep reloading it to stop the problems. The lone egg looked like it had a possible head popping out of it but the pixelations, when I enlarge the frame to full screen, messes up the picture. Anyways , we all sit and wait. Let's hope for an eaglet soon.


Yesterday was the first time I was about to tell my sous chef to go fuck himself (excuse my french). He has got a real problem and I am sick of being blamed for things I don't do. I told him to his face that some of these things he is being picky about, are trivial and small. Also I said that maybe the restaurant should put some responsibility on the manager on duty because I can't watch everyone when I am not there. I was off at midnight and stuff happened after. Anyways, I said I can't do it when I'm not there. In return he called a staff meeting and I said "Good cause I have loads to say". For example, why is it that his prep is never done and left to me? And then he bitches about some bloody bottles not filled for the next day? If I wasn't left doing his work I'd have time to do mine. JACKASS. And now I close every night this week! I don't get out until the bitter end. Errrrrrrrrrrr.





The question today is....will Detroit come back and beat Edmonton? I hope so because my friend is a fan of the Red Wings and I like to bug him about it. I also don't want the Oilers to win because they knocked us out of the playoffs--well the Canucks did it to themselves...Anyways, I hope Detroit kicks Edmonton's ass.


Well, that's it for today. See yah tomorrow.

Adults and Toys - Do Adults Ever Really Grow Up?

Every morning I drag myself out of my warm bed and prepare for another work day, as everyone else does in numerous routines and rituals. I pop in my earbuds and tune out the nearby noise, listen to the news while doing my daily puzzles on my mobile phone on the bus, and mentally prepare my "To Do" list. Looking around the crowded bus I always look at the similarities students wear to university, checking the popular brands and styles. At one point during my employment at the university, I created a "style" Bingo game, matching brands and styles students wear, and I always tried to figure out how these younger "starving" young adults could afford Nike Air Force One sneakers, Canada Goose parkas, Blundstone boots and the like. I do this today, sneaking a quick snap of the style and Google Lens the style (no faces of course), sometimes outwardly scrunching my face at the price of the item on my screen. No wonder these kids are starving, they can't afford ...

And Just Like That ...

  Like a cozy sweater, I wrapped myself in the past, took a deep breath and pushed play. I knew what was coming, and I was already familiar with the first episode of its release, but knowing I had full access to every episode made the experience more personal. There was no familiar theme song as it wasn't a reboot, but it had the feeling of something you know like the back of your hand, like that smell that brings you back to your grandmother's home or the taste that transports you to another time in your life. It was almost like the feeling returning to a numb limb, with which I have had recent experience, two carpal tunnel surgeries later. My brain, or rather my soul, was awakened from the fog bathed in for what seemed like forever.  I decided to use my time back in New York with ladies from my past. Although fictional, they definitely were part of my life, playing out storylines side by side with my life on the tube weekly. Having them back, 20 years later, aged and lived i...

Snow is Beautiful and Triggering

Vancouver has never been known as a winter wonderland, well, at least the actual city center, but the weather pattern has consistently turned frigid. Usually, Vancouverites are used to the dreary gray decor, cloudy and rainy 24 - 7, making the shorter days even worse, as if the Sun is wearing shades. The streets are usually lined with puddles and the locals walk around the city with black umbrellas adding to the dark wet days of winter. I have noticed some people donning vibrant coloured umbrellas, standing out from the wave of black, but this is probably more for safety from cars, scooters, e-bikes, buses and other vehicles trying to peer through the rain. I was almost hit by a car and now I have a bright yellow umbrella, hoping I don't experience that shock ever again. This past week, the weather went from unusually warm and balmy in January to an about-face in February with negative temperatures and snow falling in the city and all over the Lower Mainland. The excitement of hear...
