Unemployment is a four letter word

Or at least it is today. Welcome to my first non-unemployment centred post in months. I figured it was about time to write about the other things that are going on in my life. Because, you know, with all this free time there is a whole heck of a lot going on in my life. But you'll have to give me some grace, the quality of this entry might not be upto the usual Green Mango snuff. Nevertheless, come on in and stay a while.

PLAYING DRESS-UP

I wore make-up and a dress a few weeks ago. Of my own volition. Did you even think that was possible? I sure didn't. But when you are the Best Woman in a wedding you'll do all sorts of surprising things. Matthew, the groom and my very good friend, even has photographic evidence. You should track down his happy, newly-married self and see if you can get a peek.

PLAYING MUSIC

This week is Jazz Fest in Vancouver. And I am in heaven. I spent all day Saturday at Gastown taking in the smooth, soul-soothing sounds with friends. It was brilliant. I think I am in love with the bassist from the AfroCuban trio we saw. And also the bassist from a band based out of Toronto. Pardon me, I am drooling. Not just over boys who play the bass, but for the free jazz that flows through the streets like water and bounces off the rooftops like summer rain.

If you are anywhere west of the Atlantic you should really make the trip out this week and take in some jazz with me.
