Season’s Greetings

25. December 2015 ~ by Julian

Hey family and friends!

It’s a bit lonely without you. That’s true every day, but especially now, for Christmas. We’d like to have you around, to eat Vanillekipferl and Springerle with and reminisce about the past year. Hand out a few hugs, while we’re at it. And thank you for being such a magnificent bunch. It’s not the same without you.

Instead, we’ll head out to the beach and enjoy the sunshine and clear view of Vancouver Island today. You can’t have everything, right?

Y’all take care, be healthy and happy, and have a spectacular start into an equally spectacular 2016! We’re looking forward to seeing all of you again in person!

And now, in case you haven’t been seeing enough of Albert, here’s a look back at how far he’s come. 🙂 Enjoy. See you soon.

New Death Defying Adventures In the Canadian Wild And Other Stories

18. December 2015 ~ by Julian

You will not believe what happened next. No, seriously, you will. It’s nothing special. But I thought, a little sensationalism wouldn’t hurt, after the decades we haven’t given a sign of life. After the great flood came and went. After the blizzard buried us in three snow flakes or four. After wild animals have taken over our habitat. After the days have turned to nights and the weekends to mere Sundays. Are you still following? Read more

Elections, a 700$ Premium, and Pizza – our first month.

25. October 2015 ~ by Julian

I wrote this last night and didn’t publish it. Sometimes it’s better to read things over again. 🙂 But then I figured, what the heck. So here you go. 🙂

I will say this in advance: I should not be writing blog posts after a week of long hours at work, sleep deprivation through evil tooth fairies, moving into a new apartment, and having more wine than an empty stomach should be exposed to. But hey, in for the dime, in for the dollar, as they say. You can’t expect us to be at our Sunday’s best behavior for 8 full months, can you?  Read more

Artsy Fartsy, Because

13. October 2015 ~ by Julian

Today I went to The Lab (that’s really what it’s called) to pick up the prints and scans of a roll of film I gave them. There was supposed to be a few nice pictures. Judging from the prints, there are fewer than I hoped for, but that’s another story. The disc with the scans doesn’t work. So, you’ll have to make do with other random stuff. Sorry.
