I spent last week in Vancouver at Kely’s place while he was in central Canada visiting relatives. Vancouver city is something special; I don’t know if I could describe what I love about it so much; or if I could do it justice if I tried.

I’m back on Saltspring now, stocked up for a long haul at the house, but it’s strange being alone out here – part of me really craves company and after a while and I find myself making excuses to go into town. Mmmm coffee…

I am unemployed now, and using the next couple months (short of a brief trip out east) to work on some personal projects, to see more of the gulf islands, and to get back to meditating. Three weeks in and I’ve made a lot of progress on the paintings and gotten a good start on the first of the two applications I want to write. I’ve even managed to sit for half an hour every day. Which is a pretty good start I think.

Upcoming Plans:

• During the last week of July I’ll be in Toronto.
• During the first week of August I’ll be in Saskatoon.
• During the last week of August I’ll be in Ottawa
• In September I’ll be moving to Calgary , probably for just a year.

I you want to come visit before I leave, make plans now!!!

It’s raining, and there are baby deer in my yard this morning; so damn cute!
