As much as I decry the problems with Vancouver, this city is certainly in its glory when the sun is shining. One of the best places to see that is from Spanish Banks. We headed down there on Thursday after the girls had volunteered at the UBC Child Development Program, helping the students with their […]
I have to admit that when I first saw the news about Kaboom helping us get a new playground for our community school and that volunteers were required to build it, I was skeptical. Despite all my years seeing the magic of community building through social media, I had serious doubts that my own neighbourhood […]
As some of you know, hubs has a long running movie site called Corona’s Coming Attractions. Due to that, he does get advance viewing passes for some of the movies that are hitting town. Being that many are action films, Adam has been tagging along with him. Last week, during game 5 of the NHL […]
