Food
First off, don’t forget: Fatburger, 1101 Denman, 1830h on Wednesday, June 1. Second, I got into a rant that started after some foodie got annoyed that Rob Feenie appeared in an ad for White Spot. The rant was not that interesting (to wit: White Spot is old school), but I started thinking about the ephemeral […]

My Life is Better Than Yours
Eliding out the boring or unpleasant bits, here was my afternoon: -Test-drove a Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible with The Lovely One as the afternoon turned hot and sunny. It was TLO’s first ride in a convertible.-Returned home, made a G&T for myself, which I then used to lubricate the grilling process. Looked up the proper grilling […]

Am I suck or not?
The construction of The Whip (among other excuses) has left me not training as hard as I should have been. On the other hand, I have done 3 training races in two weeks. Let’s look at the outcomes. Race 1: Tuesday nighter, May 17: attacked too much, got spat out the back of the pack […]

Fatburger Rendezvous
Not much to say. The Whip still cracks, Dog is still here, and everything is copacetic. So I guess that means it’s time to try Fatburger. The Place: Fatburger, 1101 Denman St., Vancouver. That’s downtown. The Date: Wednesday, June 1, 2005, 6:30 pm. Dinner, followed by unspecified shenanigans. Probably dessert or a walking tour of […]

Notes and ruminations on the BC election
A few idle thoughts: -The BC Liberals got the usual benefit of our electoral system, a comfy legislative majority from 46% of the vote. The NDP’s 41% of the vote tracked their seat take uncannily. STV looks like it went down to defeat, which makes me sad. Oh well. Of Belinda Stronach, I don’t have […]

The Bike Nut’s Dilemma
So I’m having trouble with some of my bike wheels: the tubes keep leaking and I can’t fix them, and for some reason I don’t have enough extra tubes around to keep things going. That disabled the commuter bike. The race bike’s wheels are now firmly transferred onto The Whip, and with the new 9-speed […]

Okay, this blog is about politics a lot of the time.
But you know why? Because right now, Canadian politics is so interesting. (This, by the way, is why my friend Andrew drives me nuts: Canadian federal politics is just one historic event after another right now, and his last post was eleven days ago, and it was about American politics. Cover the interesting stuff, Serenepia! […]

Things to do in Vancouver: Go to Fatburger
The fast food renaissance is upon us. Here’s some stuff to eat. Fatburger is coming! They’re a legendary California burger chain. I’m going. I also have to get out and try some Taco Del Mar fish tacos. Supposed to be good stuff, and they just came into town from south of the border, too. Finally, […]

The Whip
The Whip is coming. I’ve been working on it late into the night, and The Whip, my latest device for inflicting suffering, is approaching completion. What is The Whip? One hint only: Shimagnolo Velotegra on an FC SAC.
