All Good Things...
Today is the last day of the Great BC Adventure of 2007. In fact, I'll no longer be in BC two hours from right now. It was a great adventure, one that happened in 2007, but it has now come to the point where Tasha and I return to Halifax. Goodie.

The Final Weekend
We are now at Day 12 of the Great BC Adventure of 2007...time is slowly (and sadly) tick-tick-ticking away regarding our time here. What a phenomenal couple of weeks it has been, and hopefully it will be much less than 14 months between now and the next visit.

The Journey Continues
It is now Day 6 of the Great BC Adventure of 2007!
We went out and saw Spider-Man 3 last night. It was great except for a couple of things that clashed with the comic book canon, mostly involving Harry Osborn and his persona as the "New Goblin" and his ultimate destiny. That part was lame, as was the manner in which Venom was defeated. I don't like how the movies seemingly must end with the villain (sorry, spoiler warning!) being killed or making some noble sacrifice. When the Harry Green Goblin was killed in Spectacular Spider-Man he was thoroughly inhuman and well beyond redemption. That aside, I can see why it's being seen by more people than you can shake a stick at, and if there's to be a Spidey 4, I will be there.
The sun has been shining all day, and apparently tomorrow and Wednesday we'll be enjoying temperatures in the mid-20s. Take that Halifax!

Hello From BC!
Today marks Day 3 of the Great BC Adventure of 2007!
CBC announced this morning that the fixed election date bill will receive royal assent today, which means that the next election will take place on October 19, 2009. So much for a spring vote! On the other hand, I know what M. Dion is thinking: can Canada wait that long? Can the world? Since every new day is the worst in Canada's environmental history, you'd think that he'll be making every effort to ensure that Harper loses the confidence of the House before then...unless that whole spiel about the impending environmental calamity is just words.
Canucks fever here in BC took a huge hit on Tuesday night. I was in bed when the great collapse took place. They were up 2-1 early in the 3rd but when I woke up the next morning, they had lost. I made the quip to my sister, who works at a car parts shop, that the Canucks flags they sell should be going on at half price now that they're effectively toast.
Kelowna's pace of development is incredible to see. New huge buildings popping up everywhere. Prices are high. There is a working shortage and businesses are advertising openly what they will pay you to come work for them. This is a marked contrast to life in Halifax.
The sun is out today, which I haven't seen in about 10 days. I am going to play in it. See you later.
