I found a bunch of old Pedro the Lion albums in a box the other day and have been happier than a pig in shit since!
Picked up a brand spankin' new springform pan today. Hope to be baking like crazy soon here.
Got an e-mail from mom telling me that my grandpa has a tumor. He's been in and out of the hospital for the past little while. This tumor thing got me thinking about the rest of my family and how I'm drifting away from them. I haven't seen my mom's side in years and I feel really bad because they're such kick ass people. I think my grandfather on her side has been in a home for about a year now while my grandmother holds down the bed & breakfast. See! It's so bad I don't even fucking know what's going on!
Everyone else lives either in Maple Ridge, Northern Alberta or way out East. I saw my nephew for the first time a few months back and was absolutely floored by how great the kid was. He knows sign language and he's maybe two years old! I wish I could have spent more time with him and everybody else in Maple Ridge. I sort of popped in unannounced and missed a few of them. I'd love to see my Uncle Ernie again. That guy's the shit and I haven't seen him in 7 years.
I'm going to try to weasel my way back into the family. I friggin' love these people but never see them. I feel guilty. I think this means I need to head out to Vancouver again and then plan an East Coast road trip. I'll put that on the list of things to do this summer.
I also think I'm going to try to take more pictures. I want to start a photojournal of some kind. I have a pile of photobooth strips and polaroid shots that need to be album-ized tonight.
