Vancouver, summer 1974

While my parents attended the then-new Regent College (my mother took a course led by H.R. Rookmaaker). I had been a bad little bad little boy in Grade  public school. One afternoon our father took me aside and, demonstrating with twigs on the concrete sidewalk, said, "Now, your brother and sister -- your entire family -- are going one way and you are going another." I (mostly) straightened up after that. 

That was the summer I was fixated on our babysitter, hippies, "The Unicorn" by The Irish Rovers, wax museums, the double-Ferris Wheel at the PNE and Big Jim's Jungle Adventure. 

It's even scarier in my imagination!
