….maybe just an empty net and a flukey missed shot. How many times have you succeeded in spite of the odds and how many times have you missed a wide open opportunity? These moments happened in Olympic proportions yesterday to the Canadian woman’s hockey team. Down 2-1 against the US, they pulled their goalie. At
…..the other day I was scratching around for a blog post. You know there wasn’t much out there that was being “ironical.” OK, it was bright and sunny, which might have deceived us into thinking that it was warmer. No, it was still around -12ºC, warming up to -7ºC as it clouded over. We did
I wrote a post the other day on doodling. I decided that I might be able to do more doodling and therefore reap the benefits, mentioned in the post, if I could doodle on my phone. So I opened the app store, keyed in “drawing” and came up with several free apps for the purpose.

It was one of those days. You know, toss a lot of good and bad together, add a little dressing of humour and you get salad days 🙂 maybe. It went like this – 1. I decided to walk to work. Since the postman and a neighbour had to push my car out of the
My husband has been trolling the site Homeaway.com for an apartment to rent for a week in Paris this summer. Last year we rented an apartment for a week in Rome and then one for another week in Cinque Terre. This combination worked so well that this June we have decided to spend a week in
It’s snowing again today – blizzard conditions. My husband walked to work – safer than taking the car, maybe. I was wondering, if you own your own business, who has the authority to “call” a snow day? Yes, I guess it’s me and since I don’t feel like walking to work and I definitely don’t
