Today’s pic -

To hell with winter!

Sun, 28 Mar 2010 15:50:28 -0700

Having a tough time getting over ‘crap’ today - as in my description on the right, More Joy - Less Crap. On my way to the Yukon tomorrow for 4 days. It feels like I should be excited or happier to get out and into an adventure, but no. Probably because I’m headed back to winter. It’s spring here on the lower mainland! I’m experiencing a seasonal set back. That must be what it is. And that’s enough to drag me down.

I don’t even have enough interest to find a picture to put here.

What is it with January, February, March? For the last couple of years these months have sucked. For me at least. Nothing good can come of these dreary winter months. I’ve decide I’m boycotting them from this point forward, at least until they straighten up! You’re on notice. Smarten up bitches! As for me I’m off to party with spring. As soon as I’m back from the tundra!

Every year we try to get away for spring break. It started when our kids were young. Now they don’t come so we go with friends. This is one of them with their young daughter. This shot was taken 100 feet from the front door of our cabin in Tofino. Will post more of these later. What a fantastic country we live in!

Someone else I’m digging right now. Juliette Greco. In particular her early work. A French singer and actress. This woman is 83 now, and her most recent album was released last year. I wish I knew more about her earlier. There is not a lot about her on Wiki but more can be found HERE ________________________________________________________

The sound of a city cheering. The moment Crosby scores the winning goal in the gold medal game. Kinda cool. Thanks to JP for posting this on Twitter.

The goal is scored at about the 1:19 mark and the cheer continues to the end. And for a bit of perspective for those unfamiliar with the Vancouver landscape, this is shot from the south side of False Creek looking toward Yaletown in Vancouver. GM place, the venue the game was played at is actually about a half kilometer beyond the right edge of the screen. Couldn’t have scripted a better day.

This meme was getting a bit overdone for a while, but here’s a new one that actually has some great little bits.
