I'm delighted to announce that a personal dream of mine has finally become a reality. My seemingly endless quest for a retro - yet practical - automobile finally came to a happy end in May, as I became the proud owner of a *1963 AMC Rambler*! Just slip behind the wheel of this charming slice of auto history, and you're transported to a simpler time - when we lived in a three-channel universe, seat belts were strictly optional, and surfing was done on the beach, not a computer. There's also another story ...Continue Reading

*BUY NOTHING DAY is TOMORROW!* *This Friday, November 26 is "Buy Nothing Day". *For 24 hours, millions of people around the world do not participate -- in the doomsday economy, the marketing mind-games, and the frantic consumer-binge that's become our culture. We pause. We make a small choice not to shop. We shrink our footprint and gain some calm. Together we say to Exxon, Nike, Coke and the rest: enough is enough. And we help build this movement to rethink our unsustainable course. I ...Continue Reading

"MACK AND MABEL" UPDATE Well, rehearsals for "Mack and Mabel" are in full swing, and it's very exciting to watch the show take shape before my eyes, and to realize just how wonderful it's going to be! There's high comedy, zany slapstick (look for me as the "villain" in the opening scene's movie-making scene!), witty dialogue, and a bittersweet romance. Then there are the wonderful songs, from the triumphant energy of "Big Time" to the heartbreaking ballad "Time Heals Everyt ...Continue Reading

As I expected, not everyone agrees that wards are the best choice for Vancouver, or an important priority. In the name of a free and spirited debate, here's some of the thoughts I've received since my previous mailing. You can also check out http://www.knowards.ca for the opposing view. Ultimately I really just want to encourage people to be aware and involved, and make an informed choice. Personally, I support wards, but whatever your opinion, be sure to express it on Saturday!
