The Bookless Club: The beloved candy dish. Do you have fond memories? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a kid, he was always eager to visit his father’s favourite aunt. There wasn’t a swing set, or a pony, or pool, or anything that upped the ante in this excursion. In fact, except for one small feature, this relative’s house was an entirely lacklustre destination. Each visit was identical — coffee in the living room followed by his father checking on a wonky door hinge or a weird sound coming from the washing machine. Interjected into his aunt’s running commentary about people he didn’t know we
The Bookless Club: Is traffic getting more treacherous? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Without realizing it, I’ve been compiling a list. It’s a list of intersections in Vancouver that present too many hazards. Intersections where you have to have your head on a swivel, yet still you can be taken unaware. Intersections where vehicular manslaughter is an ever-present risk. Top of my list is the intersection at Howe Street and Pacific Boulevard. The area has a Fresh Market grocery store, a London Drugs, several coffee shops and restaurants, a school offering postgrad certificates, th
The Bookless Club: What are you doing about the quality of air you breathe? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What do you think of when you think of Iceland? Waterfalls? Geothermal springs? But how about air quality? I’ve recently returned from Iceland and I have come away hugely impressed with the island nation’s air quality.

Iceland has some of the cleanest air in the entire world. It exceeds the World Health O
The Bookless Club: What are your experiences with extreme weather? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That was quite the electrical storm, wasn’t it? The epic storm of last Saturday, Aug. 22, is going down in the archive as the biggest electrical storm ever recorded in Vancouver. Unlike our usually tame summer sound and light shows, this one went on and on, with about 1,800 lightning strikes recorded in the Lower Mainland. The rest of the province was lashed with approximately 7,000 hits, according to the B.C. Wildfire Service. Some folks claimed they watched the sky light up for more than four
The Bookless Club: How do you handle jet lag, or hangovers? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The only thing that rivals hangover remedies are jet lag remedies. There’s actual science available on both, but that doesn’t seem to reduce the amount of folklore that swirl around the topics. It’s been a long time since I required hangover advice. I’ve never been much of a drinker, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t had my share of grim mornings-after. The “hair of the dog” antidote was always the chief nugget of misinformation on offer the “day after the night before”. A close second was the pre
