Bad Movie Night: Saturday April 9 Legendary Hollywood Flops on the Big (Home) Screen! There’s been several movies on my “video wish list” to catch up with someday – movies from the 70′s/80′s that are known mainly for being big-budget failures. I speak of the likes of “Ishtar” or “1941″, or “The Last Action Hero”. Some have been redeemed by the passage of time and gained a cult following. Some may have just been misguided from the start. But I wanted to judge for myself. On Saturday, April 9, I’m finally going to do ju ...Continue Reading

Christine and I are overjoyed at Max’s arrival, adapting pretty well to our new roles as “Mom and Dad”, and just plain grateful for our precious gift of this beautiful boy.

Hi all! Well, our baby is on the way - due Jan. 14 - and Christine's mom and dad plan to spend the whole month of January here so her Mom can assist. But they need a place to stay. They're looking at hotels of course, but we're wondering if anyone knows a Snowbird who'll be away in January and is open to renting their place to a couple of very responsible Alberta seniors. The only request from our end is that it be somewhere in Vancouver, and ideally not too far from the 12th and Oak area. They're not expecting an ...Continue Reading
