Love Vancouver.  Hate being stuck here alone on a long weekend on a business trip.  Don’t get to go home until Wednesday morning.

I’ll be working all day tomorrow and then have 2 days off.  Guess I’ll check out some of the sights over on the North Shore (West and North Vancouver) and if all else fails I’ll walk the seawall at Stanley Park.

I’d much rather be home with Jan.

Nothing makes a Vancouverite madder than someone saying "it always rains out here".  Well I lived here back in the 60′s and 70′s and I know it doesn’t *always* rain but it comes close some times.  (The above is the view from my balcony at the Richmond Inn).

The flight out here would have been fine except I came down with a migraine headache half way across the country.  A fistful of Advil and a quiet night will hopefully straighten me right out.
