Susan and I celebrated our 24th anniversary on Monday - and we celebrated in style at the best dining establishment in  downtown Jordan River.  No, not that Jordan River - this one.

Actually, we were a bit disappointed because it turned out that the place we really wanted to go to has shut down.  I was hoping to enjoy a nice meal of chicken fingers, but I know others who have enjoyed the place's "potato wedgies" - which, frankly, sounds mighty uncomfortable to me.

So instead we made do with two $3.00 single scoop ice cream cones because sometimes you can't have memories unless you make them!

2010 is the 100th anniversay of the Canadian Navy and since I live in the city that is home to Canada's Pacific Fleet I'm excited about some of the festivities that are planned.

On Tuesday the Navy marched downtown and was granted "Freedom of the City" by the mayor. Many of those in uniform had rifles equipped with bayonnets so asking for it really just a moot point.

Anyway, Susan and I went downtown to watch the parade and were quite impressed. Here is some of the video I shot (Youtube restricts uploads to 10 minutes and it took 14 for the parade to pass) that will help you get a perspective of just how many marched - complete with some shots showing just how far the parade stretched.

That leather coat I am wearing was my dad's.  Many years ago he was getting rid of it because it was out of style (the 80s did that to a lot of 70's fashion).  I took it off his hands because it was leather and I was a teenager.

I'm told it is back in style now - though I've worn it for years not caring if it was or not. As you can see, Susan is happy it's back in style as she is often seen in public with me.

But hey, who do I have to impress? I've got the girl!
