I could post hundreds– thousands of pictures of Vancouver, of BC, of the province where I was born. Home. And I could write endless pages about the awe-inspiring beauty in which I grew up. I have travelled to other places, and seen mountains, and I’ve seen oceans, and I’ve seen rain-drenched forests. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything that holds a candle to BC. Nowhere does the seabed climb to the sky with quite the same grandeur it does there.

It’s good to know BC will be there. Makes it easier to leave.

Over the last couple years I’ve been putting together The Plan: move to New York to partner with Lee Baran and make movies. Great ones. And paradigm-busting TV shows. On October 5th my visa application was approved and we slammed The Plan into high gear.

Bye bye, stuff (again) — (Pics from the first one).

No more leaving you behind, little buddy!

I will really really miss that beer.

So, after a truly exhausting two weeks of boxing, packing, and pounding… er… pavement, ‘everything must go’ became ‘everything must gone’. I said my last see-you-laters to BC, and everything there.

Didn’t see everybody– there just wasn’t time, but I got some QT with Marjorie. Lee & I had a great hang-out with Cara. Jayme kept me waiting! Everybody else will have to come visit. I blitzed to the island to stuff a few crates in the ‘rents attic. Thanked Jen profusely for taking care of Thomas for the three months I was in NY this time. Left the car with Cara in hopes she will have some luck finding a body to take over my lease. Trash tossed. Boxes shipped. Luggage lugged. One last pint with Jayme and Christina (congratulations!) and then Lee and I were on a plane after about an hour of sleep. Thomas flies well, turns out. Once in a while I looked out the window, but there really isn’t much to see in the middle bits except for the occasional Pac Man reference.

And now I’m here. New York City. Your basic centre of the universe scenario. Not that there’s anything basic about The NYC.

No, that’s not my view. I don’t have a place yet. The view from Lee’s really does look a lot like this though:

So. New book. Oh– new movie. Starting now. I’m kind of excited.
