Don’t faucet – get a bigger hammer!
The words you never want to hear in any section of the hardware store are – “Wow, I haven’t seen one of those for a long time!”
Those who serve (us) – Vancouver
Have you ever eaten at one of those places where you’re shown to your table, then someone in a black dress/shirt comes along and says “Hi, I’m –. I’ll be your server tonight.” Their name isn’t really “—“, but you’re so engrossed in the menu that you don’t actually take any notice of anything they’re saying.
Where’s Basil? – Victoria Canada
I always wondered where they got the inspiration for the famous BBC series Fawlty Towers. Now I know.
She’s all that – Fort Langley Canada
A good woman is hard to find, especially if she’s wearing camouflage gear
Seeing more in Whistler – Canada
You know a movie is really good if you can watch it more than once and still discover new twists in the plot. Whistler Mountain is a bit like that. I’m not talking about the village here – that’s just a spot on a map where lots of people gather from time to time. I’m talking about the mountain itself.
Backroads – Sun Peaks to Whistler
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Taking a chance – Jasper and Highway 15 Canada
“He who regards the wind will not sow, he who regards the clouds will not reap”, or, as one of my golfing mates says, “no risk, no reward”.
No room at the inn – Banff Canada
As Julius Caesar’s wife Cornelia famously said “Veni, Vidi, Ca-ching-icci”, which translates into “I came, I saw, I spent much.” She must have been to Banff.
Layers of Niagara
Come see the waters
Crashing down becoming mist
Flowing to the sea.
I’ve never written a Haiku poem before. We’ve never been to Niagara Falls before. Both are more complex than they seem.
Montreal to Niagara Falls by Car
Our French is pretty limited, so we ask the hotel guy to book us a cab to the car rental depot. He orders a cab to the airport instead, because “Personne n’est assez stupide pour conduire de Montréal à Niagara Falls!” (literally “nobody is stupid enough to drive from Montreal to Niagara Falls!”)
