(<i>Click on the photo to see a larger version on my Flickr site<\/i>.)<\/p>\n<p>I was at Brentwood Bay to pick up a friend who had been visiting his mother in Mill Bay, a short ferry ride across the water. He lives in Halifax now but we grew up together in Regina, where our parents were very close friends. Over the years, Rick and I have fluctuated between being really close and hardly seeing each other. But the best thing about old friends from our childhood is how comfortable we are together. It&#8217;s like the years just fall away when we sit down at Smitty&#8217;s for a meal before I drop him off at the airport.<\/p>\n<p>We talk about our kids, our parents, our jobs and all the things that are going on in our lives. It&#8217;s a good break from our routines. When we&#8217;re done, he&#8217;s back on a plane, looking at a long, overnight trip back to the snowy, cold East Coast. It may be grey here today but I&#8217;m happy to be here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brentwood Bay Ferry TerminalOriginally uploaded by Dave Traynor Today was a grey day, as you can see from this photo.
