The ROM is fun! I’m a little ashamed to say that I had not been to the ROM since it was renovated until just a few weeks ago. I’ve been to the ROM several times, just not since they added the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal addition. The reason I was a little ashamed is that I’m…

So helpful.
Guess who turned 1 year old last week?
Squishy soft luxuriousness
No I’m not talking about the puppy, although all those adjectives could be easily used to describe her too. I’m talking here about some gorgeous new yarn that arrived in the mail today, destined to become a birthday gift for a certain Ecoholic. This handspun merino by Off the Hooks’s Ashley Marcus in Alberta is…
Our new mistress of the night: meet Luna
Well well well. It has been one heck of a week at la casa del Mulholland-Kebbel. And it’s only Wednesday! Where do I start? It’s kind of like we had a baby. A fury black one with razor sharp baby teeth and two speeds — full bore or all stop. World, meet Luna. She’s a…
The case of the mysteriously missing sign
Now that it’s well into the new year (isn’t it nearly already Chinese New Year for goodness sake?) I’ve realized I wanted to post about the fabulous gift we got for Chris’s parents and the Coboconk (Coby) cottage. The gift that disappeared into the Canada Post ether, or so we thought. First – context. The…
Wendy gets to carry the Olympic Torch!
I mentioned several weeks ago about our friends Hank and Wendy who are working the Olympic Torch Relay for over the course of four months, traveling all across Canada driving the Eco trucks, part of the sponsorship by RBC of the relay. We just heard that Wendy is being honoured by her team mates by…
And the relay begins!
This morning marked the official start of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay. I’m not particularly excited about the Olympics normally, but I guess as a Canadian I am pretty proud that we’re hosting them. I’ve heard a lot of negativity about what Vancouver residents have had to put up with in the preparations. Hopefully…
A night out dancin’ and a day at the zoo
Last night I saw Thievery Corporation again at Kool Haus, with my buddy Alice. They’re making a victory lap on the Radio Retaliation tour, celebrating the album’s Grammy nomination this year. It was virtually the same show that I saw at February, with the exception that last night was opened by Ocote Soul Sounds, another…
Tomato download
Whew… it’s been a heck of a weekend. We got back from our crazy 8+ hr drive from Quebec City on Friday around dinnertime, and then rushed about trying to get the lawn cut and the copious tomato bounty harvested before the rain started. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed to…
