Cool Vancouver
Christine February 8th, 2010
We used to spend summers in this city when I was a little girl. My father was working on his Master’s and we usually spent close to a month in the heart of the city during the sessions he attended at the Theological school. I have so many wonderful memories of these times – walking the pier, my mother buying crab right off the boat, going to the zoo, taking the ferry over to Victoria…it was magical for a little girl from small town Montana. I have been back only once to Vancouver as an adult and it is a much busier, greatly larger place now. It is about the only city I am truly in love with. Enjoy this video which I discovered on the Dish.

Crown of the Continent
Christine January 31st, 2010
A new friend who lives in Arizona recently called to ask me if he could set some of our music to a video he shot last October of the Flathead Lake area and Glacier Park. I said: Yes! He put his video up on YouTube today so here it is. I really like it. Thank you Wayne, for letting us be a part of your lovely short film. (About six minutes long.) What a great way to step out of this month and into February. Soon it will be hiking season again. There is plenty of snow here to be seen however!
Lady Ella
Christine December 14th, 2009
This feels like my own personal soundtrack today playing in my head – Lullaby of Birdland.
Ella Fitzgerald live. I certainly hope she is keeping up her chops in heaven.
Tuesday Tunes ~ Ukulele Bird
Christine November 17th, 2009
Now this little white bird really likes Ukulele music! Oh, and the player is good too…
Friday Fun ~ Uke Girl
Christine October 9th, 2009
This is a fun, quasi-whacky video of a good Uke player doing Rich Girl. There is a story behind me posting this video. Matthew went and did it again – he bought me another instrument. This time it is a baritone Ukulele. ( A small instrument for small hands.) Yep, I’m going to be playing it for happy hour at the local tofu shop or the old folks home, or somewhere. Hmm, I might be able to con a trip to Hawaii out of this if I truly practice hard. The operative word in that sentence is Hawaii in case you missed it. On a more practical level, what I really need is an empty corner. All the other corners seem to be taken.
Four dimensional horse
Christine September 30th, 2009
We gotta’ spread the geek love around… and around.
Twenty-four seconds of mind-bending reality. If you glance down at the bottom after this one plays, you will see other short videos to click on and view right here also. The cube is cool… well actually they all are interesting.
Ian, how do you find these things?
A tune for Monday ~ Cara Dillon
Christine August 3rd, 2009
I’ve had quite a time keeping up this last week in just about every area of my life, but now I am home for a couple days at least. I will post more this evening I hope, but in the interim here is a very lovely song sung by Cara Dillon: Lark in the Clear Air. I hope you’ll take time to listen and gather in its beauty. (I wish we had clear air here this morning; we drove home into a smokey valley last evening from a fire somewhere – the location of which is yet to be determined.) Oh yes, here are the lyrics.
Really fast canoes
Christine July 3rd, 2009
Oh, this looks like so much work but what a thrill to be in an all woman’s outrigger canoe race from Molokai to Oahu. The ladies just bail out, let the fresh crew in and wait for the support boat to pick them up. I love these waves.

The future is now
Christine May 12th, 2009
My son Ian posted this on his blog at Cross-slip but I am embedding it here just because this is so futuristic and so very important to our now at the same time. 300 miles to the gallon anyone? And it would cost much less than most automobiles. You cannot really call it a car…. I bet you will find this interesting and hopeful.
