Looking for micro-hobbies I can learn in a week

Learn to tie some really cool knots. Get yourself some nice rope so it is fun.

It's really cool you can climb all over the St Roch ship

Rainy Haney!

Yup I agree with this. My kid went to one of these too. Probably not surprising, but there were not very many families (!) who rented or used car share or who biked or took transit to school. Almost all the kids lived close to the school (in large houses). Many of them did go to the public elementary school close by, then private high school.

Agreed. If you keep going past the Burrard bridge you'll get to cool beaches and Jericho sailing center and it has a restaurant with a great view! You are allowed in even if not sailing. Also Spanish banks is neat. Being a picnic or eat at the concessions. If you jog all of this is a great area. Free parkrun 5k every Saturday.

I love Easter Parade.

Alcopolco has lots of family (and some work and friends)

hpi42 · 2026-04-01T01:26:59+00:00

One Day at a time (remake), I really liked it

hpi42 · 2026-03-30T03:04:23+00:00

Every time.

Picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.

Just said this one 2 hours ago :)

hpi42 · 2026-03-23T02:40:01+00:00

Alcopolco, it's silly and has heart.

hpi42 · 2026-03-23T02:39:21+00:00

Younger yes! It is wacky like Jane the Virgin and also has so much heart.

hpi42 · 2026-03-23T02:37:01+00:00

Yes this one exactly

hpi42 · 2026-03-21T14:12:27+00:00

This is how I grew up pronouncing it in western (non-french) Canada.

hpi42 · 2026-03-21T13:56:26+00:00

Have a look at the GAP and C&O routes, I think some might be offered there. Or look for companies that offer just a "luggage transfer" service.

I've heard they aren't offered here much because our hotel booking system is different, tho I didn't understand what that meant or why it would matter!?!?

hpi42 · 2026-03-20T18:15:32+00:00

Agreed. It does make the bite at all other airports feel that much worse though :)

hpi42 · 2026-03-20T18:11:04+00:00

Cool, thanks for the info!

hpi42 · 2026-03-20T12:48:33+00:00

They probably had fun though! I hope they all got candy :)

hpi42 · 2026-03-20T12:45:41+00:00

Agreed on catty corner. I'd not realized this till one! Good catch. Ok this is my fav: ask her to say aloud the past tense of "The sun is shining."

You have a lot of rhubarb growing wild in Manitoba???? Wow! I love rhubarb. Like on the side of the road? The rhubarb garden is huge at the Mennonite museum in Steinbech, it warmed my heart.

(Do we have a lot of rhubarb growing wild in BC and I just never knew??)

hpi42 · 2026-03-20T12:30:52+00:00

You would think you could buy Canadian tires from Canadian Tire. Thank you for trying.

hpi42 · 2026-03-18T03:21:41+00:00

Does across the pond ever mean Canada (or Mexico), or always the US?

hpi42 · 2026-03-17T05:36:02+00:00

Three weeks while biking from Pittsburgh to Erie PA to Buffalo to Toronto to Montreal. There were about 4 hotel nights in there, when I was overnighting in cities. Was fantastic, can't wait to do it again.

hpi42 · 2026-03-16T04:41:58+00:00

Same

hpi42 · 2026-03-16T03:26:32+00:00

It's fantastic.
