I wrote about circuitous the other day and didn’t really have a great example of how I complicate my life in wild circuitous loops. Well, one of those loops happened yesterday. I have decided that I want to do some interesting walking tours, abroad. Most of these adventures require you to walk 15 to 20kms […]
….and tomorrow….and tomorrow. Yes, we could let our lives slip away, always hoping that a tomorrow will be better than a today. I have already earmarked a wait of four years until Doug Ford is gone and worse case scenario – six years until Trump is gone – alas!! Time to start living today!! I
Door knobs to doughnuts….or something like that. In a previous post, I mentioned that I was thrilled to solve, what I thought was the mysterious shifting of the house, with the simple answer that my son had oiled all the hinges in the home. As a result, doors stood awkwardly open or closed inappropriately, when
I mentioned in an earlier post about biking across the Golden Gate bridge and coasting into sunny Sausalito – made even sunnier with lunch and a tasting tray of local beers. My husband not only bought the lunch, he also bought tickets to return to San Francisco by ferry, bikes and all. Apparently, there is

In addition to lists and puns, I do like the odd challenge – “odd” being the operative word. Nothing too daring, but something a little unusual and just a bit beyond my grasp, so I have to stretch – but, not too much. This is why I found myself on Fisherman’s Wharf, in not so
My husband and I biked another 20kms this Saturday along the Caledon Rail Trail. This time, we biked from Caledon East to Palgrave. Every section of the trail is not only lovely, but also has its own unique characteristics. The special feature of this particular part of the trail is that it has one of
….or at least the linear park created, when they take up the rails. I have to give it to the person(s) who first thought up the concept of a linear park and to the people, who maintain those parks today. They are amazing!! The death of the short run railway, has been the birth of
Moving right along, or maybe that’s biking right along, we tried another trail out of Riviere du Loup. Cycling around Notre Dame du Portage in the morning was lovely, but we were trying to find a few other bike-able paths in the area. In the afternoon, we set out for a linear park, created from
This short vacation trip – one week – along the St Lawrence river, may turn out to be a study in “clouds.” Yes, it was warm and sunny, when we left Toronto and nine hours later, it was still warm and sunny in Quebec city. It was great to sit outside for dinner at a
