Yes, it's fall here in Vancouver, and for some reason I find it even more beautiful than Summer.
Why? Well for starters everything is bright. The air is clear, the leaves are various shades of red & yellow, and it's light early in the morning, with that gentle breeze.. You know the one I mean. I like that.
So! What's news?
Well the season finale of the Lemon Lime vodcast is in 2 episodes!
That's right, episode 15 will be the last of the year before winter really sets in here in BC and I start gearing up for my Return To Oz. (And if I hear one ruby slipper quip..)
Anyway, I'm hoping to get a bit of snow into my schedule before I have to come back down under.. I hear the snow usually starts near the end of November here, so that gives me one or two weeks of leeway to get up there and enjoy it. Then I'll be standing at YVR getting my passport stamped with a large red maple leaf under 'departure'.
The flight I'm hoping to book runs from Vancouver to Shanghai, and from there to Melbourne, so there'll be none of this 'globe hopping' I did on the way over here.
Y'know what's funny? When I was last at Whistler, the locals were telling me how woeful the season had been. Only 11 feet of snow at the highest. When I got there there was a base of 8 feet. I then explained that a good season at Falls Creek was usually in the area of 10-20cm.. That drew blanks, and one woman sitting nearby screamed and fainted.
Despite this wacky dance of the seasons up this half of the globe however, I'm looking forward to a hot Christmas, the smell of pine, warm summer nights. This whole 'White Christmas' thing just doesn't seem right, and I'm looking forward to some familiar scenery.
As much as I love it over here, I just keep feeling that there's no place like home.*

*If you thought this was corny, you have to buy my new book: 'There's nothing PUNNY about that!'. Find it wherever good books are sold!

4 thoughts are now mine:
Lol... 8 feet of snow... HA. You could lose small (or large for that matter) children and/or drunken adults in them there slopes. Cest ridicule!
Makes our peppering atop the mounts of Buller and Hotham seem totally un-cool. Our "snow season" over here was pretty woeful... i personally didn't even bother. As much fun as chasing the receeding patches of snow amid the lush greenery of the unseasonal grass is... MEH!
But yeah, white christmas my aunt fanny. Less snowing, more ho ho ho-ing i say! Shrimps on the barbie, riding kangaroos around our paddocks, petting our goanas and all other false stereotypes are WAY more pun.
I found your book by the way. Wedged between "Being a lesbian is pun!... by Anne Heche" and "Pun Lola, pun." Good reading...
Anyway, i'm off... and not in a 2 year old milk kinda way...
cheerio
michael awesome
Is it bad that I almost wet myself at then end of your latest LLV preview?
Mike: I love your comments.. Truly, I do, they maka me laff.. And actually, I didn't choose the specific placement that my book would be displayed in. Unfortunately two large penguins started a small gang-war outside the bookshop while I was talking to the clerk.. And well.. You know the rest.
Ed: Just goes to show that sometimes the screw ups are better than the script!
Cheers!!
