EVR
You don’t know what EVR stands for? Well, let me tell you - it stands for Echo Valley Ranch. That’s where I got to spend two days earlier this week and it’s more than just a good thing for me.
I found the ranch when I did some research for my new book (101 Highlights of Western Canada) and contacted the owner Norm Dove to get some information and pictures I could use.
He...
Good Times
I had a chance to go and see the amazing Echo Valley Ranch in the last few days.
I know there are good times on the horizon for me!
I was picked up in this plane - and I didn’t get sick at all. Ahem.[[MORE]]
Amazing views of the Thompson River from 7500 feet up.
The view from my room - I know, right?
Good times to come - good times.
The Archives
Did you know that Tumblr has this really cool archive feature?
Here is my archive!
I love this feature because you can see all the goodies at once and when you click on one post it’ll open up in a new window and that’s just awesome.
You can find lots of funny stories there, like the one about our Apocalyptic Dinner or the one about Playmobil Love and then there’s the one about...

Me: Hallo? Who is this?
Daughter: It’s me, P.J. Who is this?
Me: It’s the 80s calling, we want our pants back.
Daughter: Mooommmm! This is fashionable![[MORE]]

Daughter: I think I’m gonna wear those DC high tops...

Last week was a tough week for me. After a good little visit to Vancouver I got back home on Tuesday and was excited for something that was...
Smile

Every once in a while my boss makes me go to the local radio station and voice an ad for the hardware store I work in. It’s a 30 second spot and I just have to read it and they edit it, but I hate doing it.
The guys at the radio station are pretty great though, and one of them taught me this little trick - smile while you’re talking. And...
Vancouver time
I’m back home from my trip to Vancouver and while I’m listening to Blue Öyster Cult rather than to my kids arguing I’m gonna tell you how my trip was!
I really love Vancouver, but I hate it when I have to take my kids. There, I said it. I would love to go down to the coast without my kids (it’s really less than a three hour drive there, but it seems like 30 hours with my...
