I went to go see my sister over the 4th of July weekend in 2005. I hadn't seen Sis and her family in 4 years. Before I got to Seattle, I asked her if she would mind if my nephew, Will would be able to come to Victoria with me for an overnight trip. I figured he would be happy to see a change in scenery and it would give us the chance to catch up over the years that we've missed. Both were delighted at the opportunity and I was happy to play tour guide. Will and I left Seattle early in the morning via the Victoria Clipper.

Forgive that long and possibly strange sentence, it's just that with a new place comes new enthusiasm for this place. However, that is all in the now, but I'm going to move back to yesterday where I left it. But, before I go there, I just want to say that I caught up on the Big Brother news. Has there been some arguments or what?! Ok, for real this time. After I left the internet cafe yesterday, I thought I'd try and catch up with Willie after the show he saw, which was 'Phantom Of The Opera'. There were so many people coming out of that place, I swear I thought ... read more
