greetings from vancouver, bc
Hello! Gurl and I made it to Vancouver via Phoenix. Every time Gurl left me alone in the airport a random sweet little old lady would sit next to me and talk to me. I swear I was genetically designed to work at an information desk. Then I wore a Wisconsin shirt out and about in Vancouver, and I get approached by even more people about it. So I respond in my nasal WI accent: "Heeey theeere, howw are youuu?"
Here, it is a lovely, dry 70 degrees (or 20), and the sun does not punish as it does in DC, it caresses. I picked a lovely time to leave that saunaswamp.

"Ooooohh, Geee. Are you from Wesconsun TOO there?"
Airports can be SO cheesy.

Hmmm... I think you've got your new City of Heroes character concept.

I'm so envious. I'm just going to crappy, old Ohio for the weekend.

Jimbo...go to the Pumpjack at happy hour for CHEAP drinks. it is on Davie street in the middle of homo town. i was in BC last weekend and that was a cheap place to get up to cruising altitude.
Try Kokanee and the 420 Lager....both are good draft beers.
Oh and numbers has Karaoke tonite (thursday at 9pm) and the boys are tasty.

Jimbo,
You should be here now. It's a balmy 81 degrees and it actually feels like 81. Compared to yesterday and the 90 that felt like 100, with 100 percent humidity and a light drizzle.
It's paradise...or is it? It's actually about to RAIN. Stay where you are Jimbo. Stay out of the swamplands we call DC. Stay out of hell.
