I'm bailing out and going back to Vancouver for the summer. Lots of reasons why...some reasonable...some fearful...some irrational...some intelligent. But the fact remains...I am going back to Vancouver for the summer.

On another note...I've been undertaking an overhaul of my music catalogue lately...inspired by Rolling Stone's list of the top 500 songs of all time. I agree with a lot of their choices...but am baffled by others. They've chosen things I completely disagree with and have omitted things that I would have included.

The Beatles are, by far, the most often included group in the list...close to 20 entries. And it inspired me to check out which Beatles wrote which songs. I've come to realize that Harrison wrote the songs of which I have the strongest opinions. I just don't understand and sort of cringe when I hear some of his music...stuff like Blue Jay Way. But on the other hand...the songs that I love...just love are also mostly written by him: Here Comes The Sun, Something, and While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

Vancouver is a summer city by its very nature, so I can certainly understand your decision!

If you're on the left coast for the end of the summer, I'll try and drag Tom out there and we'll visit en-route to Victoria! Hell, we'll drag you along!

Yeah yeah...that's a GREAT idea. I was trying to not-so-subtly suggest that to him...and we can haul up the Seattle folks as well!

That sounds like fun. Darn West Coast.
