blog post Today on Lanarama, The Weekend Edition: Planning for Patience

With about a month until the Olympics, Vancouver is rolling out its transportation plan. Vancouverites are preparing for road closures, Olympic lanes, pedestrian corridors and a predicted 1-2 hour wait time to get on public transit. Oh yeah, and it rains approximately 116mm during the month of February, umbrellas galore!

Today I’m starting my patience plan. I figure I have about a month to increase my ability to endure delays, waiting and slowdowns without losing my cool. I’m moving into the slow lanes, walking behind the elderly and letting people go ahead of me in lineups (when I’m not running late…heh).

Are you patient? What are your tactics for keeping your cool??

I really, really hope this is prerecorded and you got at least one day off this weekend...

I'm just starting to get into my Olympic coping mode as well...I'm really hoping that TransLink is being very liberal in their delay estimates so that even is bracing for waits beforehand and then when they end up only being 30mins or so everyone is happy. We'll see, might just be wishful thinking.

I'm of the same mind for coping with walking; I'm usually pretty speedy, but I just walked 3 walks down Burrard behind an elderly couple to adjust to not being able to weave in and out pedestrians with as much ease. It was nice too...

Walking slowly though I was looking around more and I saw a birch tree near the my place and it looked as if someone had purposefully removed a ring of bark the whole way around..that was sad. At least there's always the eternal question 'What if bears were chairs?' to ponder and bring the smiles back.

Have a great rest o' the weekend Lana. Ta!

I'm gonna stay home as much as possible!

Just kidding.

Maybe.

I'm a little concerned about the road closures, but I'm pretty sure a lot of them won't affect my life too much, if at all. YAH.

I know someone filled in once for Scott on techie tuesday (you at least dragged him into the booth)..what was that gentlemans name? I'm sure he's responsible for some wonderful part of code on this bad ass machine. I just realized (as i just started using it because Craig is going to be checking the numbers that my web player remembers that I thumbed up a song previously. There's still things like that I'm finding. Thanks to you sir/ma'am/team who constructed the player.

I think you're talking about 'Fill in Phil'! I might be dragging him back on the air sooner than later!

The key is to have great tunes playing in the background while in your car... The type of music that makes you not even want to reach your destination incase you miss the next great tune. Enter cbc radio 3.

Agh-I was listening to the program yesterday and loved one of the last few songs of the set. But I didn't write it down and now I can't find it (is it on here somewhere...heck, I'd even re-listening to the whole cast again if I could find it). Upbeat electronic over disco awesomeness...with snowflakes in the name? Or pixies? Someone help me out, save me from further shame...
