Doing it Differently - 2010
So I’ve been thinking a lot of how my 2009 was. On the eve of the eve of a New Year, and knowing myself, I really wanted to get some stuff off my chest and get some forward movement from life.
2009 had a lot of changes in store for me, on several different levels. Opening of new business, the humbling of another. Transition into a new relationship, only to transition out of it by...

Black Eye for Blackberry?

Today is the shortest day of winter. It is a day when the Earth’s axis tilts the farthest from the Sun and is called winter...
Donburi Ya
Donburi Ya - 1329 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC
Looking for an old Vancouver favorite of mine, Ezogiku used to occupy this space and was a favorite for ramen made in a hurry. Stumbling upon Donburi Ya, I was pleasantly surprised at the menu. While donburi would unconsciously tell me “rice”, it was good to see they added some additional items to attract other customers. These “other” items ended up...
