I was reading today in the business section of one of our local papers about a small business that started in the 1990’s, as a provider of guided “extreme biking” vacations. Things struggled along as most of these market specific companies do…or as my husband would say – went for the lifestyle – stayed for […]
Hopefully the sun is shining where you are; but if it isn’t here are some blue skies for you. The sun hasn’t shone here in Toronto in almost a week. I have been popping Vitamin D capsules and “thinking” happy thoughts to dispel the gloom. Here are the pictures taken from the Staples parking lot. It
Or at least he said that he was coming. My husband is not “handy.” He’s better just going to work and paying the bills than attempting anything remotely “hands on.” So we have had our share of handymen over the years. Some have been disasters – out of work engineers who despise small jobs, but need
Well I started out a little slowly with the “things I have never done blog challenge” so I guess that I had better step things up and post the other 8 “never dones, had or hoped to achieve” things, or I’ll be left behind with the next challege!!! Some of these “nevers” are things that
There is another challenge over at the blog/photography thread at V7N – Make a list of 10 things that you have never done and blog about them. 1. I had no problem making the list – it could have gone on forever 10, 100, 1,000 probably closer to a million. When I asked whether the
I’m just back from a quick overnight trip to the 1,000 Islands in the St. Lawrence River at Gananoque (ga-nan-knock-way).

This week’s photography challenge is “Lines.” Fortunately the heat is off for “Portraits.” I did find though that if I asked to take a person’s picture, they really didn’t mind at all – ask and you shall receive!! “Lines” lead a person into and out of a picture, as in railway tracks that seem to
It started out as a photo challenge that has now morphed into a personality challenge. That is to say that the various personalities in the group are not in competition with each other; but that someone has suggested that we all answer the question “who am I?” This challenge, in a public situation, is “high threat”
Today, I asked a twenty something where to buy a CD. Yes, you’re right I got some very weird looks and the mumbled comment, “I haven’t bought a CD in years.” Well, yes and this is probably why I am asking. My local HMV has closed – being replaced by an Urban Outfitter store. I wasn’t
I just had to post today to acknowledge the passing of Steve Jobs. The blog heading is not mine; it is the heading used by the Globe this morning. This was the Globe’s front page – it surpassed the Ontario election in importance (no kidding!!!). I don’t think that I will ever cancel my subscription,
