2. Excited to Board Our Ship

IMG_5358

Still waiting to board our cruise ship to Alaska. This was back in October 2013.

We chose Holland America. It was the last cruise to Alaska in 2013. It was a smaller boat and full of old people, we were one of the youngest couples on board. It was comfortable though and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It won’t be our first cruise line choice in the future, but we certainly don’t regret sailing with them.

If you’re ever in the market to take a cruise, TIP: stay overnight in the city where your shipped is docked. We flew down the same day our cruise was set to take off (it was our first cruise – rookie mistake) and very nearly didn’t make it in time. It was one of the most stressful times of my life and we vowed NEVER to do that again. Yes. It’s more expensive, but it’s money well spent in the end because you arrive, get to do a little sight-seeing, get a good night’s rest and arrive in plenty of time to board the ship the next day.

And speaking of cruises … I don’t think we’re going to have the money to go on a cruise this year. Which is very disappointing as this will be our 25th wedding anniversary and I’ve always told Kevin I would love to go to Hawaii for our 25th anniversary. I wanted to take a seven-day cruise around the Hawaiian islands this year but wow – expensive. And we would have to cash in ALL of our AA airline points THEN SOME and well, money is tight. We’ve been fixing up the rental house and … life happens. So. I know Kevin feels bad about it but I don’t want to stress him out so I have firmly declared that we’re taking a staycation this year.

There’s always next year, right?

Kevin took this picture while we were waiting to board our cruise ship in Vancouver, Canada in October 2013. We were cruising to Alaska. And though I had to talk Kevin into this cruise it actually ended up being the best cruise we’ve been on so far. (And judging by my flushed cheeks, I was having a hot flash).

4. Dino-Boy Abroad

 So, my eldest child, aka Dino-Boy, trotted off to Canada back in December to work with wildlife, and in exchange reports came back via Skype on Sundays – his day off. Daily life seemed to be along the lines of: prepared the feeds, cleaned out the cages, mended a fence, went to town to fetch the donated food, ate stir-fry.

The content started to vary dramatically as, having learnt how to handle wild animals, Oscar was given responsibility for his first creature – a snow hare with a limp, AND allowed to go out on 'rescues' – what a word!
             The most dramatic was catching two skunks, stuck at the bottom of an eight-metre well. There’s a video of him dangling on a rope, more Mr Bean than Ethan Hunt, and being bitten and sprayed before he can grab the skunk. The scent was so strong that people turned and stared for a few weeks afterwards. 

Oscar and Meisce
When a beaver was spotted swimming in salt water in Vancouver, Oscar was given the job of detoxifying the very sick animal. They don’t name the newcomers – too distressing if they have to be euthanised. Happily, Oscar called him Meisce after he responded to the treatment. He’s now back in the wild. 
Check out the feet!

More animals arrived at the centre and more bites. I only found out that an angry raccoon had taken a lump out of my boy when someone else tagged him – hand wrapped in ice, on Facebook. I demanded a close-up – it didn’t look too bad.

This raccoon is back in the wild
This adorable cub will be released next year

Oscar was due home last weekend, but at the end of March he texted saying he thought he might stay – he’d been offered the chance to look after the 2013 bear cubs, about to wake up after the winter but needing care until their release in summer 2014. No brainer, as Kevin Bacon would say. No surprise either, that April saw me boarding a plane with my daughter, Honor, to go and visit him.
He was big.
The same size, but bigger.
We had an amazing holiday, spending days off with Oscar and the rest of the time doing tourist stuff, but the best part was seeing him at the wildlife rehabilitation centre. It wasn’t the fabulous animals, or even the lovely people he works with, as much as the sense that he was in his element, absolutely.
White Rock B.C.

Wandering one evening along the beach at White Rock with Oscar and Honor, a bald eagle flew over. Further along a blue heron lazily flapped a few times to move out of our path. Ten years earlier, there’d been a similar scene. That time we were in Tofino, on Vancouver Island, as part of a six-week escape prompted by my husband losing his job. Bald eagles were as common as pigeons, black bears were everywhere – one crossed the road as we were walking to the beach, whales were blowing, seals collapsed on rocks.

I wonder whether that once-in-a-lifetime trip, Oscar aged nine, tipped the scales, turning the little boy fascinated by dinosaurs into the one living the life in Canada, where wildlife is truly wild (and let’s face it, bigger).

And the raccoon bite, well . . . the photo he sent was of an entirely different finger with an old wound. This one swelled up like a pumpkin, leaked pus, was as shiny as Downton silver, and had to be sliced open by one of the supervisors.
'Didn’t want to worry you, Mum.'
Me, worry?
My son currently goes into the bear den, picks up the poop, feeds them and jangles about to keep them wary of humans. The bears are around a hundred pounds each. There are four of them. Who’s worrying?

illustratedvancouver:

University of British Columbia Campus by James Hill, another grand Maclean’s magazine cover image from the 1950s. Published March 31, 1956, it depicts the hustle and bustle of the end of the school year, but could just as easily be applied to the end of the fall semester. This blog post (and comment stream) is a testament to his career, and an impressive body of his illustrations can be seen in this photoset. [More…]

14. La Grande Promenade

La Grande Promenade:

My amazing friend Chris Tyrell, 62, is going to walk 1200 kms across France. He has been an integral part of the arts community here in Vancouver all of his life. I’ve blogged about him here before

He’s doing this because A) he’s raising money for PAL (the Performing Arts Lodge, a retirement community for retired actors and dancers here in Vancouver), B) he loves France, C) he loves walking, D) he’s getting older so it’s now or never, and C) why the hell not. I love this guy. 

If you can spare a few dollars, please do (I know, all the terrible crises around the world recently have been rough, and everyone’s asking for donations). PAL is pretty amazing, and so is Chris.

16. Chris Tyrell's "Art Marketing Blog"

Chris Tyrell's "Art Marketing Blog":

I am SO delighted to see that my friend Chris Tyrell has started blogging again. If you’re a young commercial artist, he’s the guy who’ll tell it to you like it is and give you the hard facts about being a working artist. 

Not only did Chris write the wildly popular Artists’ Survival Skills handbook for working artists (previously blogged), but he also teaches at Emily Carr here in Vancouver, plus has been a longtime contributor to OPUS’ monthly newsletter (OPUS is a chain of great art supply stores out here). 

I’m now calling him for lunch, because it’s been way, way too long and he is awesome.

Vancouver’s Robin McConnell hosts Inkstuds, a weekly radio show on UBC’s CiTR where he and his co-hosts interview notable artists from the alt-comics field.

He has recently compiled transcriptions of 27 of these interviews for a new book, the logically titled Inkstuds (Conundrum Press, 280pp, $20, softcover).

Some of the better-known subjects include Chester Brown, Seth, Joe Sacco, Mary Fleener, Jaime Hernandez, and Gary Panter. The interviews are presented without any introductory preamble or parenthetical insertions; McConnell assumes a certain depth of knowledge on the reader’s part.

I was browsing the Rabid Children Flickr group for artwork inspired by the music of They Might Be Giants, which introduced me to the work of Vancouver artist Hine Mizushima, whose little felted characters blew me away with pure cute (more at her Flickr stream).

I was then immediately reminded that she was responsible for the stop motion video for TMBG’s Why Does the Sun Shine? from their wonderful Here Comes Science:

20. Maniac Monday: What Can Our Children Learn From the Olympics?

photo by zipckr www.flickr.com

The 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver is on everybody’s minds, and it seems like on everybody’s TVs. If you log on to Twitter or Facebook, tweets and status updates about the Winter Olympics are inevitable, and so we know our children and teens are watching and listening, too. As parents and teachers, how can we use these Winter Olympics as part of our sneaky teaching moments (when we are teaching our children something without them knowing it), and what can we teach them? Here’s a list I made:

*The most obvious is hard work and determination will get you far in life–whether you are an athlete or a small business owner. If you reach for the top and support that reach with hard work, you will get somewhere.

*You can’t buy your way to the top. I think Canada might be learning that the hard way. There’s been a lot of press about them spending millions and millions and millions of dollars to buy the podium at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver; and this morning on the news, I saw that the U.S. has 24 medals and Canada has 9. One Canadian reporter wrote an article and asked if the United States would let Canada “rent” a spot on the podium? :) I think this is the perfect lesson for children, teens, and adults to realize that money alone is not going to buy success, happiness, or gold medals.

*There’s more than just football, soccer, basketball, and baseball out there in the sports arena. Yesterday, I watched the most interesting Winter Olympic sport which basically looked like a huge shuffleboard game on ice and is called curling. Now, this sport takes completely different skills than football; and for some children and teens, it might be right up their alley. Maybe none of these Olympic events are right up their alley, but at least it can show them that there’s a big world out there past their high school community. On a side note, I recently wrote an article about teens and rock climbing and teens and Explorer posts. I had the same ideas about the big, old world out there when I was writing these articles. Make sure we let kids follow whatever interests and dreams they have–there’s probably even a group already out there for them to get involved in.

*Having pride in your country is good and important, but we have to have good sportsmanship and be accepting of everyone. Some athletes who lose don’t always show good sportsmanship. There’s been some smack talk from different athletes and fans surrounding these Olympic games. If your child or teen gets caught up, stop them and show them an example of someone who is positive like U.S. figure skater, Evan Lysacek, who won the gold medal last night and is under fierce criticism from the Russians. He said nothing but positive and nice things about his opponent Evgeni Plushenko on Good Morning, America this morning.

Here are a couple books to check out:

Maybe you’ve thought of some other things the Winter Olympics can teach our children. Please share these sneaky life lessons here!

21. There is Hope, World


When I was growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, the Olympics were all about beating the Soviet Union. China was a dark force whom "we" didn't like very much, but the Soviet Union? Yeesh. Darth Vader, Sauron and Lex Luther all rolled up into one.

Have times changed.

My family and I were watching the games the other night when Canada won its first ever gold on home ground. It was an emotionally overwhelming moment to share with Alexandre Bilodeau when he caputured gold in the men's moguls. We all cheered. Loudly.

None of us is Canadian.

It got even better yesterday when Shen and Zhao won the pairs figure skating gold, a medal that's eluded them for two decades and which they came out of retirement to try one last time to capture. I was in tears.

I am not Chinese.

My ten year old daughter said, "That is so good. They deserve it."

She is not Chinese.

Why my emphasis on nationality? Because after growing up fearing the "evil empire" that was the Soviet Union, I realized last night that the world my children are growing up in is a vastly new one. One in which we cheer for the winners, no matter where they are from. When an announcer talks about a Japanese skater who became Russian to follow her dream of figure skating, and in a joking aside says, "Does anyone defect to the Soviet Union?"

Times have changed. Changed for the better. 

Sure, there are still problems. Iran and Israel would not march into the games one after the other.  Taiwan is not allowed to call itself Taiwan. But, you know, I think the Greeks were onto something. These games, they may not necessarily be the big force that changes our opinions about each other, but they keep lines of communication open. They give us the opportunity to root for our fellow man, regardless of nationality, and to mourn with him. The moment of silence for the Georgian luge slider, Nodar Kumaritashvili, during the opening ceremonies is one I will long remember. 

For these brief two weeks, we get a chance to be better than we are. American broadcasters have even gotten with the program. Two games ago, all they ever seemed to show were the Americans performing. Now they are showing a great cross section of athletes, giving those of us at home the opportunity to cheer for the best athlete, no matter wher

22. Books at Bedtime: Who Hides in the Park by Warabe Aska

In a few short days, Vancouver will host the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.  What better time than this to highlight a book on one of the city’s most well known landmarks — Stanley ParkWarabe Aska’s Who Hides in the Park is a multilingual book about Vancouver’s municipal gem — a four hundred hectare urban park located on an almost island-like peninsula surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean.   The book explores the mysteries of the park in four different languages: English, French, Japanese and Chinese.

Aska, whose books I’ve posted on before, loves to play with hidden images.  Each page presents a familiar picture of the park while at the same time, containing images of hidden animals, people and spirits.  It’s always fun reading an Aska book with a child because of the pleasure one gets in finding the hidden creatures!   For example, a leafy shrub scene portraying a peacock in the front reveals multiple ‘hidden’ peacocks in the the shrubs that have leaves for feathers.  A forest path scene with frolicking children has embedded within it rabbits and squirrels and even two police officers on horses.

While the image is presented on the right hand page, the left hand page contains the text in the four different scripts of each language.  The text is easy to read and follow, and makes for a good study of languages relevant to Canadians, especially those living on the West Coast.   At the back of the book is a delightful map of the park and a list of facts about it.  This is a good book to take along to the park or buy as a souvenir of a visit to one of Canada’s most delightful, natural urban treasures.

23. Art events during the 2010 Olympic Games

(Illustration courtesy Rod Filbrandt - click image to visit his site.)

So the XXI Olympic Winter Games will open here in Vancouver next week. I think it only cost us something like $1.7 Billion. And all this after the BC Liberals cut funding to the arts by nearly 95% in 2009. Ha ha! Nutty! But I digress.

During this kooky international event (which, I am constantly hearing, will “put Vancouver/Canada on the map.” We’re not already?), one thing that may be of particular interest to artists and art aficionados (that’s my big word for the day) is the “Cultural Olympiad.” What is this, you ask? Perhaps some money went to the arts, sorta? Sorta.

The Cultural Olympiad is a celebration of the contemporary imagination. [...] this amazing showcase of Canadian and international arts and popular culture will feature an unparalleled variety of music, dance, theatre, visual arts, film, outdoor spectaculars and digital media experiences.

There are really a surprisingly vast number of events taking place (almost all of them free), spreading from Vancouver, Whistler, Surrey, and Richmond, though very few involve your traditional gallery-style art shows. There are lots of giant internet-controlled spotlights, flames projected on buildings, and my partner reported seeing an “art installation” at one of the Skytrain stations consisting of, um, dozens and dozens of Coca Cola logos. Mm. “Art.” *sigh*

One interesting show during the Cultural Thingamabob involves poster art displayed across the city on bus shelters and billboards. I’d actually love to see a show like this, but not scattered god-knows-where this way. I can’t help but fear that such an exhibit will be, at best, noticed by almost nobody, and, at worst, noticed by absolutely nobody. You’ll essentially see them by accident, if you do at all. It seems like a slap in the face to the artists who created them. I dunno, maybe there’s a plan I’m not aware of here. Here’s one billboard I found on Flickr:

Another Cultural Blah-dee-blah gallery exhibit which caught my eye is Monster, at the West Vancouver Museum. It features paintings by a dozen artists of (what else?) monsters! It’s on till early May, so I’ll wait till after the Olympics to see it because security all over town is utterly insane for the durati
