You know sometimes when you really need a vacation? Not just want one, but need one? I’ve never experienced that feeling before. But it’s been over a year since I’ve been on one, and it turns out that it’s totally necessary to completely unplug — at least in a work and other typical obligations sense.

And so it is: I am on vacation.

Rachel and I are in beautiful Vancouver, BC, the town in which some of my favourite TV shows and movies have been filmed, including:

• Battlestar Galactica
• Dead Like Me
• Smallville
• Caprica
• X-Files
• The Fugitive
• V
• Fringe

Oh, and also Air Bud, it turns out.

Our plan coming here was not to have a plan, but rather to eat and drink our way through the city. By the time you read this, I’ll be several pounds heavier and almost completely full.

I’m hoping to have a few pictures to share with you upon my return. In the meantime, enjoy a video from one of my favourite people on earth, ze frank. I’ve shared this video about creativity before, but it’s worth watching again and again. And maybe his rapid-fire style will encourage you to contribute to #whyyeg:
