The exercise:

Made it back to Vancouver, mostly alive and generally in one piece. The cold was reasonably nice to me on Friday and Saturday, before kicking my arse on Sunday. Today has been okay.

Had a wonderful time despite my lackluster health - it's hard to complain when you've got great food, great company, and thirty degree weather.

Feeling like some haiku today, so let us have a go at offering up some three line tributes to... whoever comes to mind.

Mine:

Ode to a camper:
Tell stories 'round the campfire
While missing TV.

* * *

Oh hot dog vendor,
Don't you ever consider
Where your fare comes from?

Dear high school teacher
I don't know how you manage
All those bratty kids.

  1. Sounds like you've had a pretty good weekend overall then! I like all three of your haikus, though probably the second best of all. I live near Borough Market, a big reason for picking my little flat, so I never have to ask my hot dog vendors that :)

    Haiku 1:

    The wind blows you down
    Summer rains dissolve your hopes
    Tomorrow's cancell'd

    Haiku 2:

    Paper wet with ink
    Describing life's best moment
    Wins just second prize

    Haiku 3:

    Sleeping Beauty wakes
    To find her prince is dreaming
    Of Cinderella
