No matter which way you turn it - upside down or flip flop - it's always the same.
YAY!!!!

Jude Griebel at the Bau-xi

Jude's opening at the Bau-xi Gallery on Granville Street in Vancouver seemed to herald the beginning of summer.

The crowd was decked out in their best sunglasses.






The highlight was an appearance of Kitty Blandy and Alan Davies and their lovely grown-up daughters Nina and Jane.
More news to follow - I'm sure!

South East Vancouver
















It was a perfect night for a walkabout. I headed down the Mid-Town bike path, through Mountainview Cemetary - I practice walking backwards through the stand of pines in the cemetary - and out down Main Street. Good Day Pizza is still there, but the building beside it has been demolished. I wonder how many good days are left for the pizza house?

If It's Too Loud - You're Too Old - revisited



A truism revealed.

If it's TOO LOUD then you're TOO OLD!!!!


Ahh - remember when we used to yell that at our parents?

I was telling our homestay student Veronique about the saying. She asked me:"Is that because the old people are deaf?"

Well, isn't that right?

After all these years of having the volume at 11,

we are old - and we are deaf!

The joke's on WHO?


Turn that music down - hahah
