Thought I had posted this a week or so ago…ooops…
It’s the off season so there is less to talk about when it comes to training and racing (although there will still be some racing and plenty of training) and more musings about general goings-on.
Today’s ramblings: Camping and VIFF
Camping
Got to spend three days last week in Garabaldi Park (Whistler area) by Lake Cheakamus with students from my school. While camping with 15 grade 8′s is not an ideal situation, it was still an enjoyable foray into the wildernss. My tent sat no less than 10 feet from the lake so this was the view I had each morning.
I would have been happy to stay the weekend (as long as the students left).
VIFF
The Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) started this weekend which is always a highlight of the fall for me. Saw two movies on Saturday, both of which were terrific. Orz Boys was a Taiwanese film about two kids who find themselves trapped between wanting to be grown-ups while acting like kids. Religulous was a comedy/documentary with Bill Maher on how rediculous and sometimes dangerous religion can be.
I’ve got tickets to three more for sure . In the couple of years I’ve been going I’ve never been dissapointed by a film so take a chance, pick a film that sounds like it might interest you and go.
