since when



it's been a flurry of activity the last few days but i haven't seemed to be able to get my shit together to blog it up...so be it.
tuesday night ang, shauna, boyd and i went to heritage hall to see terry riley's "in c", a seminal sixties musical piece that's intense in a hypnotic kind of way...i ran into mark mushet there - one of the world's nice guys and dear friend of mine for the last near 30 years...i think i've know he and bull the longest of all my pals...oh, actually, marty basso would be in the 31 to 32 year range...fuck, i am a geezer...but i'm your geezer.
afterwards we went for some fish and chips. just so you know what we ate. after. fish and chips. at the windjammer.
let's see....oh, wed. morning i got to go and get my teeth cleaned by martha at dr. z's office...exciting. ran some errands, hung out a little with the garbs, played hockey in nort van with cam, went by savary island to get some pie, whole foods for a sandwich and drinks, and then capped it all off with a nice dinner with the fawnz, mishi and the garbs at don king on broadway....nice. fawn was tlling some good tales that can not be repeated here...ya had to be there...good stuff. oh, and earlier in the day we booked some tickets to get the hell outta dodge for a few days. me and my ladyfriend. we're gonna fly to NYC from seattle for a few days, then from NYC to el paso, texas where we'll rent a car and drive to marfa, texas where the chinati foundation is - an artist's thingy donald judd started years ago on an old military base/settlement. pretty cool. i was there before but really didn't get to see it the way i would liked to have so....back we/i go.
today was more errands, a visit to the eye doctor, a drive down to the watchmen office to get my last cheque, a quick visit to sleep country to tell them our bed is shitola, lunch with mishi on granville island and tonight, later, a few mexican treats at topanga cafe...nice...

more details as they come..

and...only because i know that guy and he wouldn't want it any other way....a quick note about my dad.
floyd had a minor stroke last week, or maybe more since it's not entirely clear, while he was in mexico. he's back home now he has been looked at by the doctors in naniamo and is resting at home. according to reports he's quite tired and has full function of all limbs and such....he's not one to make a big deal so i won't here either.
i love you floyd....take it easy and watch some tv.

mishi gets ready to hoss-down on her salmon burger.


full hoss-down.


this is mishi's pal ranjit, i think that's how you spell her name...anyhow. she used to work at isadora's with mishi years ago. we were talking about birthdays for some reason and she revealed to us that she knows the year she was born but not the day. she is from a very large family in india and she was born they didn't bother to write down what day she was born. she believes it was in sept. sometime. so when she moved to canada, on her passport application she just picked a day in sept. so now that's her birthday. pretty cool.
