So Very Vancouver?

Today's blog is coming to you from Westbank Beach on English Bay. How? I have a new toy, it's portable, and you can type on it. I promised myself when I got a new job I would buy a notebook and this week I delivered on my promise. Yay! Using it at the beach on a sunny afternoon within 24 hours of getting it ... well ... maybe I've been in Vancouver too long.

Or maybe not. I came from a nice little lunch with my niece, who was passing through Vancouver on her way home. The only fine dining available at the bus depot is McDonalds, but you work with what you got. Since my shift starts at 2pm, it wasn't worth going home. Hmmm, an hour to kill, a notebook purchased precisely so I can write anywhere, where would YOU go?! Of course, there are hazards one doesn't think of ahead of time. Every time a gull flies over I live in fear of wiping bird crap off my keyboard. There's something you'll never see in a notebook ad. Note to self, include handy-wipes in jump bag.

The new toy is an Apple Powerbook and it's pretty sweet. I picked it up last night on my way home from work. The screen is beautiful, and it play's DVDs. Long waits just got a lot more entertaining! A lot more playing around on the horizon but the main reason I bought it, something portable to type on, is working out just fine!

Now, if I only had a decent digital camera I could include a couple of photos ... maybe next month.
