Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day! I celebrated it by wearing my red shirt and hat and a hearty brunch with my family at the Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. It is a beautiful warm day and everyone is out enjoying this special day except those trapped with the 7 hour closure of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge. So, my daughter and her husband was stranded in North Vancouver and the brunch turned into a nice drive and stroll in Deep Cove, then back to my place for an afternoon nap, dinner and a movie. This was the best day! It’s the simple things that make people happy.

The various music festivals have already started in Vancouver so please try to catch some acts in town. Just a short reminder that I will be performing:
