The day after. The day after the biggest party I’m pretty sure this city has ever seen. What was it like today? Well, quiet for one thing. I saw a lot of this: We’re very close to the Canada Line Skytrain Station, so people were heading over with their suitcases to catch their flights home. [...]

Yet another day with another lunch time adventure! I had heard on twitter this morning the Huskies would be down in Yaletown at the RoundHouse for a little while at lunch. At 11:45, I left the office and hopped 1 stop to the RoundHouse. I got off the train, went over to the spot. No [...]

Today’s theme: Traffic

February 20, 2010

Mike and I headed to downtown this afternoon for a little shopping adventure. We are on a mission to find an official Winter Games mug to send to a friend in Nova Scotia. We also wanted to see the W2 Social Media Centre to see where the cool kids hang out. God only knows why, [...]
