cycling with Rockin’
Stopping in Vancouver en route to my parent’s place, Rockin’ Ronnie and I got out on the bikes two days in a row.
First, his favourite local ride – the Fisherman’s Trail.
He’d never seen it so green, so overgrown. It was solstice.
Next day we rode over the bridge to Stanley Park, the #1 urban park in the world on some lists.
We met friends for a light lunch on Granville Island.
That’s Edible Canada, one of the best of many fine Granville eateries.
From there we looped busy False Creek.
It doesn’t get much better than Vancouver on a sunny day.
And it’s always sunny when I visit Vancouver. 🙂
on skipping breakfast …
After years of working late night, eating late night, I’m not hungry on waking up in the morning.
It’s about 11am before I start to feel peckish.
I’ve gotten a lot of grief over the years from people stating:
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”

Everything You Know About Breakfast Is Wrong
Rockin’ Ronnie at TED Barbecue
The rockin’ one put on an entertaining 2 hour talk last night. He’s a Barbecue evangelist:
“Back in the 1990s, real barbecue was a relatively unknown style of cooking in Canada,” says Ronnie. “I was lucky to be part of a small group of backyard cooks who sowed the seeds of what has become a vibrant and growing barbecue culture in Calgary and across Western Canada.”

Ever look at your house in dismay and think, “Why aren’t you a naked woman?
Self-taught sculptor Armando Garcia does.
… By 1991, a voluptuous concrete woman towered five stories over the airport-adjacent ravine where Garcia lived. He named her “Tijuana III Millennium,” but locals soon began referring to the lady-house as “La Mona,” or “the doll.”
For several years, Garcia lived inside the hollow woman with his wife. Their bedroom was located in La Mona’s breasts, the study in her head, the kitchen in her belly, and the bathroom, appropriately, in her behind. …
Garcia has moved into another self-built, woman-shaped house in Puerto Nuevo called La Sirena. In 2012 he opened a French restaurant inside her stomach.
Barbecue ribs, Shiraz, Friday Night Lights
A perfect way to end the NCAA Gymnastics Championships weekend in Birmingham, Alabama.
Sipping the red, savoring a Baby Rack of Jim ‘n Nick‘s ribs. And — tragically — watching the very last episode of Friday Night Lights.
Baked beans and cole slaw.
Weepy.
