Day 116 – De-Stress From Last Night’s Game With a Nature Walk – Two Canyon Loop Trail North Vancouver…
I don’t know about you but last night’s hockey game may have shaved a couple years off of my life. Time to decompress and get out and nature and try and get some of that time back!
There are many hiking trails on the North Shore but Two Canyon Loop is one of the few scenic trails that ta ...

Day 115 – Last Chance to see the Biennale Outdoor Art Before it’s Gone…
The Vancouver Biennale is a public art exhibition of contemporary art that has been placed around our Beautiful City. I’m sure most of you have seen the ‘laughing guys’ at Denman and Davie, those 'red meditating guys' in Coal Harbour Quay, or my personal favourite the 'giant hollow head' at Nelson and Mainland – Creepy… ...

shirt more often than Tracy Morgan. The guy bares his belly like he’s a cast
member from Jersey Shore. Next
month, Tracy is bringing his antics to Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre to perform
his successful: Stand Up Comedy Show.
Before joining the cast of Saturday Ni ...

Day 109 - Best Hangover Cure in Vancouver
Some weekend mornings, when the past night’s indulgence pounds
violently against your cranial walls, the best cure is.... well, more of that indulgence. If you’ve grown tired of spicy Caesars
or café Baileys, head over to Two Chefs & A Table for their Bourbon &
Bacon cocktail – a Bloody Mary with bacon infused bulleit bourbon & celery
bitters. ...

Day 107 - How to Go Green Without Losing Your Green ($)
Doing the right thing is rarely easy. For instance, whenever my mother sends
her mouthwatering baked goods to casa Zupan, it takes great moral fortitude to
actually share them with my better half.
I’m ashamed to admit that, most times, the Tupperware is licked clean of evidence before my lady walks in the door.
Going Green 101, th ...

Day 104 – If you are not in the Sun Run… plan your day tomorrow to avoid it!
The 27th annual Sun Run Takes place tomorrow. The Sun Run is the 2nd largest 10 km timed run in the world. Last year there were over 51,000 participants. The main event starts at 9am tomorrow – I’m guessing the streets will be a mess from about 8 am until 1pm.
I have never participated in the Sun Run, but I have ...
