What co ...
Day 88 – River Rock Casino - Road Trip to Richmond…
Located in Richmond, River Rock is the largest casino in the province. The casino is owned by Great Canadian Gaming (yeah more government cash flow!). In addition to its 222 rooms, lodging space is available at the 144-berth marina (casino by boat would be pretty sweet).
Even if you are not in to gambling - between the food, drinks, pe ...
Day 87 – Check out low tide at Spanish Banks with the pooch…
With the weather starting to make a move for the better the beach is starting to cross people’s minds. Before the crowds start to fill Spanish Banks I recommend heading down there and checking it out.
In the middle of the summer anyone with a dog getting close to the beach will get the evil eye, but right now if you hit the sand ...
Day 86 – Sophisticated Drunk – Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival 2011…
Running from today until April 3rd, 2011 the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival offers the chance to meet owners, winemakers and senior representatives from wineries around the globe at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Today’s weather is reflective of my dispirited NCAA bracket after last night’s demoralizations of Duke &, to a much lesser extent, Wisconsin. My hold on 1st place is that of an ever-thinning thread, weighted by an elephant, seated in a MACK truck, stretched over a candle, inches from the flame…
With that out of the way, onto more pleasant news: tomorrow ...
The deliciousness of a treat is measured by how far consumers will travel to get one. Danny’s Market sells Screamers. Danny’s Market is in Richmond. Richmond is far away. Therefore, the Screamers at Danny’s Market are GOOD. This is, by far, the only situation in my life where the fuel cost exceeds the price tag of the product I ...

That being said, with my team laying comatose on the basement floor of the NHL & today’s massive meeting of two of the league’s best, I can’t not write about the makings of a fantabulous happy hour that is about to begin.
Cap off today’s workday watching a ...
Mother nature has really been lashing out lately. Like an attention-starved middle child,
these seismic convulsions, hurricane tantrums & tidal wave freight trains cry for us to take notice of our poor, neglected, Morther Earth. With apocalyptic times are on the horizon, Gastown’s high-end
disaster clothing store – Killa – has ... 
I love the view from Sandbar. Like most of the stops on Granville Island, this place is most certainly a pleasant place to be. Last weekend we had a delicious lunch of fish tacos & oyster po’boys & took in Sandbar’s prized view of False Creek.
From now until April 11, Sandbar is also hosting an ode to oysters with specials on fresh-shucked oysters (yum) pai ...
I tip my hat to whoever coined this name – super moon. Astronomical events usually have these distinguished names: lunar eclipse, aurora borealis, March equinox. Super moon sounds like it’s from the next Harold & Kumar movie.
Anyways, orbiting closer to the Earth than any point in the last 18 years, super moon is 14% bigger & 30% brighter than our everyday moon. ...
