Apparently the RCMP have issued a […]
Just over 8 months ago, I watched some friends run in the Vancouver half marathon. OK, in the interest of accuracy, I went and watched a lot of people who weren’t my friends cross the finish line and somehow didn’t see any of my friends cross. While watching people cross the finish line, having just […]
