The results from my first autocross racing experience, with Don. This
is a list of the top times posted by all 27 students in the class.

http://www.vcmc.ca/raceresults/results/2012/120602/stu_raw.htm

As you can see, Don is in a class by himself. He was the fastest
student of the day, and actually the 2nd fastest driver of the whole
day, including all the instructors!

I am pretty pleased with my finish in the top ten (just) for my first
time out, but Don has set the bar pretty high. It will be a lot of fun
trying to catch him!

Commute

Busy today again.

Suspension Bridge

Sunset at Sunset Beach

Nick and Lauren on their (almost) last night in Vancouver.

Double trouble

It's been 20 years since I played any double bass drum, but my insanely fast cousin Nick has inspired me.

There's a few hundred hours of practise to go. Let's see if you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Mii vs. me

Nick's girlfriend Lauren designed a Mii for Nick, then made him shave his beard to match.

Few words can describe my nephew's love for me.

Almost finished

Our hardy little patio-sized Korean Lilac bloomed beautifully this year, but is a-a-almost done.

Blooming

Brief, but so beautiful in our back garden.

Peace

Sometimes it comes when you've done all you can, and you've put everything out there, and for a brief moment, it is in someone else's hands....

Definitely can use your positive vibes today

Hey! Is that my hand?

I like my hands.

They've accomplished a lot, which is important because they certainly look like they've been around the block a few times.

A rose by any other name...

...Should still have bacon in it.

Before the Snow

There is nothing like the deep and rich yellow of a Daffodil on a blue sky winter's day. Pictures like this are worth a hundred gray and snowy days under leaden clouds.
