Other fun and interesting things...
Celebrated my birthday last Friday by going to the Vancouver Zoo with family in tow. I will need to go back in the summer when it won't be pissing rain the whole time there and the train will be running. On the plus side it was a nice walk and there were maybe 4 other families/groups there so it was like having the run of the place.
We had a yummy dinner with some of my wife's cool relatives and on Saturday went to Storyeum which was lots of fun.
Then home to find my birthday present from the spouse had arrived. A Feast Unknown by Philip Jose Farmer. It was a wonderfully fun read. I want to read more actual Doc Savage books now.
Sunday the tot wanted to see boats instead of animals so went to the locks in Ballard and got a suprise. We picked the right day to see them cleaning out the big lock. It was neat to see it all emptied out and really how big it is with the few workers moving about the bottom for a sense of scale.
