Reproachful Fumigated Fish Dance with Zombies at MOXI

dan and nazy prince and princess of Malaysia


Will Halloween ever end? (Or, more to the point, will Dan finish recounting Halloween stories before Thanksgiving?) Who went to see Lady Gaga? How does Dan look as he jumps, in slow motion, holding Tiger and Arrow. Note: He was happy that slow motion helped him pad the ‘hang time’. How did wind and termites create challenges for tents? Why does Dan’s Angelfish scowl at him reproachfully?

Granville Island Marks Shannon Falls’ Costumed Termites

Dan, Nazy, Dar, Christiane and Leandra all at Shannon

Is it true that all Canadians are polite and patient? And, if so, does being patient preclude good driving manners? Or did we misunderstand an inflammatory hand gesture? Is Shannon Falls bigger than we remembered? How did Killer Whales feature in Dan’s decision to take a job in Vancouver? (And, oh how many years ago was that?) What makes Granville Island Grand?

Why did the pumpkin patch roll out a tractor with ‘Big Wheels’ in the front and the back? They did it right after Dan explained that tractors have big wheels in the back. How long did it take to get from the hotel room (1.2 miles from LAX) to the gate? Hint: you won’t believe it. Where did we find (the lovely) Leandra and (the astounding) Auriane? Did we have time to notice their parents?

Azelle forks pizza at Hide and Seek MyGym music class


nazy and Azelle at light bright MOXI

Who mixes up ‘hide and go seek’ with the ‘ostrich pretend game’? How many one year olds insist on using a fork to eat pizza? [Observation: I’m far more than one year old and I don’t.] What is the official name of the ‘hacky sack’ launching system exhibit at the Santa Barbara children’s museum? Who likes the LiteBrite exhibit more — Nazy or Azelle?
