light brights.

the rain is getting close to stopping. i'm so ready for that.

what went down.

lots of fun in the sun. oh, and there was a naked bicyclist rally. no big deal.

high times.

on the high seas.

captain beaudry was kind enough to take us out for a jaunt around false creek and into the bay last night. epic.

biting the bullet.

crimminy. i've been pretty scared of baseball for the better part of my life. well, i can pinpoint the exact moment i swore off of the sport: age 13, cousin erica getting smoked in the face with a softball running from first to second. blood all over the white tofino whale-watching shirt i had lent her that morning.

there was no permanent damage - just a major black eye for erica and an adolescence living in fear of the ball for me. now, i am trading my fear for a team shirt, cap and a membership with the bullshits, who just happen to be sponsored by russell brewery. eep.

feel free to come by a game - we usually tap the keg around 6 p.m.

kiss me.

i'm irish! well, today at least.

and the verdict is in!

for a secon there it looked like this little bastard was about to sentence us to 6 more weeks of wintry weather, but he didn't end up seeing us shadow, so we just may have an early spring on our hands, folks! and on an even brighter side, i'm sure that 'groundhog day' will be playing on at least one cable outlet this evening.
