Just before Christmas 2008, Scotty Hard returned to Vancouver. I had the privilege of taking him to a hockey game, where we got the Royal treatment in the box, and then a Vancouver's bums rush on curbside waiting for a handicab. Ran into Mr. Northey and Bentall though, so all was good. Next day, enjoyed my first facial and a steak and martini lunch at Hy's with the Hardstock steering committee. We had two important visitors from NY- Dr. Chang and Mr. Hard. Ok, maybe he isn't a doctor, but he can operate.Sampled the Bushnog at Harding house on Boxing Day, and was caught out playing Scrabble with the Maggot, Manny and the Mrs and little Alexandra. Icer and Drowners. And 2009? Happy Hardstock!
