I met up with a girlfriend, Jami, this last week to attend one of the grand firework shows Vancouver puts on in early August every year. A mere 250,000 to 400,000 of us head to English Bay to watch a stunning 15-minute show. It is quite an event that probably deserves it own post, but not now. My friend told me a story that raised goosebumps on my arms. There was something going on in California for me, I had so many wonderful interactions and this is a tale about another of them. I flew into LAX on Friday, July 6 just before my professional conference began. My flight was a very early one so I thought I should find something to do since I had several hours of free time. The play, War Horse , was touring in downtown Los Angeles. Somehow Vancouver is in the backwater when it comes to getting award-winning plays. I saw Lion King , Wicked and Avenue Q long after they had been hits and seen what seemed like ever...
Getting it together one stitch at a time.
