Terrible title, and I’ve considered just deleting this thing a time or two, but oh well. I’m going to let it fly. Yep, I’m egotistical enough to quote myself. 🙂 What I said with the occasional link to where I said it. 1. If we are not responsible for one another, why do we come in groups? 2. Nothing in life is ever as clean as what a legend requires. http://dianadiario.blogspot.com/2007/01/day-forty-three.html
1. Even if not for the butterflies, the gardens in the Nanimo area were lovely.
James had had a little too much to drink, but it wasn’t bothering him any. He pulled into the driveway too fast and ended up parked with the driver’s side on the grass. He tripped on grass and fell when he got out. No one was looking. He jumped up all jubilant acting, and rubbed the grass off his T-shirt, then looked around again with a silly grin because a silly grin would get him out of any trouble. No […]

The Girl is learning to drive. She’s got her learner’s permit; and we are going for a drive every day. Here are some of the things she’s said. 1. Look at me! I’m driving. 2. I have the power. I shall use it for good. (while waiting for pedestrians to cross in front of us.) 3. Look at me! I can turn. 4. I know that person (talking about a pedestrian), and that one, and that one. Why is everyone […]
We took a gondola to one peak, a chair lift to the highest point, then rode the Peak to Peak gondola. 1. The gondolas that run from peak to peak are about twice as big as the gondola we took up the hill. The towers holding them are even bigger.
We arrived at the highest point of the mountain after a toe-tingling combination of gondola and ski lift rides. 1. These rustic guy statues were all around in Whistler. Looks better at the very top of the mountain. Notice the gap in the fence? It’s a hiking trail going down one side of the hill.
