Lots of people were quite upset that the iPod touch does not come with a video camera, but the new iPod nano does. I'm still impressed with the lower price points (through doubling it's max capacity to 64 gb. I'm going to pick one up soon!

great eating day

We had two great French meals today, first was at Le Vaubon:

Tartare de boeuf, my second of the trip

Noix d'entrecote sauce Bearnaise

Afterwards, we had dinner at Le Comptoir de l'Arc, one block away from l'arc de triomphe. It was recommended by a friend who came here about one month ago, featuring very affordable meals (11-15 euros each!)

Brochette de poulet avec risotto

cote de veau

Le Real Mojito

Paris 2009, jumping pics are back!

The above three were from 2007. We didn't have time to hit the Eiffel Tower today, Hopefully demain.


At the famous Louvre museum today. Of course I decided to take the same jumping photo after almost a one-year hiatus from them!

Dinner with friends at Toshi in Vancouver

Tonight we went for dinner with dear friends (and avid blog readers). We decided to hit up Toshi Sushi, a very popular joint in Vancouver, where the wait is almost one hour at least each time. So worth it, though! The photos were just taken with my camera phone!

Collage of our house. We are still working on it, but got sidetracked, and are going to Paris next week! Hopefully we can pick up some items for it.

Poem for me!

One of the wife's students wrote me a poem. Here it is. Although sick, it made my day. I guess I'm tall to just the 2nd graders...
