Truly classic. Enjoy.
Well, believe it or not, I have now run a 10km race. But let’s clarify – not really a race, more like a run. And not really “run”, more like jogged. But hey, it’s a start ;). The 2006 Vancouver Sun Run was held last Sunday (April 24 2006) and I, along with over 50000 [...]
So after we got back from DC and reviewed our pictures, I was disappointed to see that many of them were suffering from noise and/or dead pixels. This is a phenomenon with digital cameras, and at least in my opinion shows signs of age if the number of dead “spots” increases as time goes by. [...]
Got back Wednesday night, about midnight. Late but no problems – good to be back in BC again but very much enjoyed the trip.
Good day today, went to the Zoo. The National Zoo, to be exact. Course, that’s not “our” nation, but hey when in DC… Spent 2 hours there, saw many – you guessed it – animals. Some unique to this visit, like a Panda (Mare was very happy): Also got close to a gorilla – very [...]

So the weather cleared up and off we went tonight. Jeff arrived as well so the 3 of us went out to see the monuments after a quick snack at the pub downstairs. A flat-fee cab ride downtown to the Lincoln Memorial started us off: We saw much more as well, but it’s late – [...]
And things were never the same ;)… OK, so we made it without problems. 4.5 hours flight to Montreal – here’s all I’ve seen of Montreal so far: Mare of course has seen more, being born there, but we won’t hold it against her. Got to DC via a shuttle flight, took about 90 minutes. [...]
Mare and I are heading out to Washington DC for a few days (Apr 7-12) . Conference for her, sightseeing and R&R for me…we hope to see the major sights, maybe the Pentagon, Arlington Cemetery as well. On the red-eye flight tonight, via Montreal, hope to be settled in by Saturday afternoon DC-time. I’ll keep [...]
