Reunited with My Familiar!

"No Gus.  This is not for you."  :-(

We took our usual morning stroll along English Bay.

We hit the dog beach...

and then I took him to George Wainborn Park to dry-off.

Apparently, Ann lives on top of Gus' head!  Hehe...

What does his dog eyes see?

He's loving the breeze today!

"G" is for "Gus" and it's Good enough for me!

Gus & Gum

In the afternoon, I attended the UBCP meeting for background performers...

and so did Gus!

We had a really good turn-out today with a lot of pissed-off members!  Haha!

This called for a Mojito from The Keg!

Check out how professional they are at this restaurant.  They have a portable cellphone charger for any of their customers to use!

Who ordered the Escargot?

Laila and Niko did!

One Rib Steak and...

a Creme Brûlée for me!

The duo ordered a trio of mini-desserts!

The Sun's Out Again!

The weather was so awesome today, so I took my cardio workout outdoors and ran False Creek!

While killing some time, I passed through Hotel Vancouver.  They don't just have one canine ambassador, they have two!

I finally met-up with Bruce for lunch!  We both had the BBQ Beef Brisket from Re-Up.

Of course downtown Vancouver never disappoints with providing us with PBOs!  The legs on this blondie was driving me wild!  ;-)

There was a charity luncheon held by 'Compassion into Action' in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery and Mayor Gregor Robertson came out to say a few words!

Later in the afternoon, I accompanied Fatty to the Arbutus Clinic.  

"Hey Fatty, how do you feel after getting your massage?"

 "I feel awesome!!!"

In the evening, Lila treated us to the movie "DRIVE".  I fucken loved it!  It felt like a movie from the '80s that I used to watch on Pay TV.

Gratitude you guys!!!

Happy Canada Day!!!

Thanks to the passes I got from Andrea last year, Karen and I were able to get into the Vancouver Art Gallery for free! After our stint of artsy fartsy, we walked over to Canada Place to see what all the fuss was about. ;-) Posing with the HMCS Algonquin in the back... That destroyer is ready to tear shit up if a riot breaks out today! LOL! Karen and the overpriced seaplane ports... "Kid, you better get outta there cuz I don't know how long I can keep this up!" Karen and the Olympic Cauldron... My turn with the flames... We're not into crowds anymore. But look, Global BC News was broadcasting from here! I heckled Chris Gailus for a bit. ;-) And I made sure to say, "hi," to Mark Madryga there on the right, typing away on his laptop. No riots here at Jack Poole Plaza. :-) Look who we bumped into, Gayle and Alphonse! Gayle's jacket reminded me of the one Captain Picard wore in the latter seasons of "Star Trek: Next Generation". ;-) Ahhh, another familiar face! Oh, I finally got a clean shot of these containers! Sarah and her family had their Crepe stand here too! Now, who the Hell is this fucken guy?!? I see this guy all over the place! I even pointed him out to Todd and Tara when we were out in Langley a few of weeks ago. He's always sportin' around a fanny pack and sunglasses. After blowing the popsicle stand, we ran into Zoe! Later in the evening, I met-up with Nick and we went out for some Steak at the Yaletown Keg! Because I got a discount card from the Vancouver Art Gallery, we paid $40 for my Prime Rib dish and Nick's Sirloin Steak! It's nice up here on the patio! Nick suggested I take a shot of the nice view from here!
