OK ok ok - so maybe the world isn't going to end, but WTF is up with this year?
Just in my neigbourhood / circle of friends:
- local coffee shop that is a bit of an icon is changing hands and name as the couple who started it / were running it are splitting
- also in the local neighbourhood - another long term couple has split in a messy way
- two other pair of friends who have 2 kids together (i.e. two separate couples) are also splitting
- the two big local music festivals - Vancouver Island Music Fest and the Big Time Out both basically underwent total regime changes.
This is just the tip of the iceberge…
