In between tiny rainshowers tonight, I took photos on Georgia Street after work. I made my way home at a leisurely pace after dropping some books off at the library. Somehow I had accumulated 7 books over a period of a couple of weeks and had to drag them all back today. After that was a trip to The Bay to see if I could find any more cheap and cheerful worky work outfits. No luck today. But that’s okay. I’ll keep looking.

We last saw the whole team making a quick get away from the violent potato gang…

Dave: Woohoo! Take that, you bully spuds!

Carol: Yah! See you later, taters!

Mike: Phew! that was close. Thank goodness for Oscar and Donner. I know we complain about their sharp nails, but I’ll never complain again.

Editor’s note: I am proud to let you know that No Potatoes Were Harmed® during the making of this Advent calendar.

Carol (out of breath): Frank…you’ve got to come see this! Wait! What did I miss?

Frank: What is it? Oh, and I’m just cleaning up. I tried a new cookie recipe, but I won’t show you until tomorrow – when the cookies are ready.

Carol: Huh? That’s like 12 hours from now. What the heck kind of cookies are they?

Frank: You’ll find out TOMORROW.

Carol: Sheesh. Fine. Look. You’ve got to come see this house. Mike and I have driven past it a thousand times, but this is the first time I stopped to take photos.

Frank: Why?

Carol: Just come with us!

We hopped in the car and drove about 5 minutes away to the little blue house on Broadway in Burnaby. At least I think it’s Broadway Street.

Today…

November 16, 2010

…completely kicked my a$$. I know. I don’t usually swear on the air, but today was a tough one. I won’t bother with the details – suffice to say I was disappointed and was a disappointment today. Now that I’ve typed that out, I think it may just cancel itself out. So, let’s just pretend [...]

Under the Dr. Seuss tree

December 29, 2009

We have done nothing for the last 2 days but watch movies under our freakishly skinny, tall Christmas tree. Mike called it “German-looking.” The only way to show the scale was to include the eye-level hockey poster right next to it. Oscar could really care less. So yay! for us! Good call on making the [...]
