Tidbits

  • Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…

  • A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles.  I wanna play!

  • Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places.  2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.

  • A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…

  • An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies.  I smell a lawsuit.

  • Will trade beer for Crumpler bags.  Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

With the warm, sunny weather, I spent quite a bit of my time outside over the Easter Weekend. Friday, got together with Cass and Em and basically hung out all day, with lunch, exploring Centennial Park, two quick games of bowling, and then a movie. Saturday, took the two…

Ice Hotel Quebec-Canada 2006

March 09, 2006 | Food, Photography, Travels |

So came back from another self-made long weekend of snow and ice, only this time we were sleeping in it and not just skiing on it. Jerry (the non-skier) was itching to go on a trip, and decided to go to the Ice Hotel Quebec-Canada, near Quebec City.…
