You’ve probably already seen this, but that last posting about stand up paddleboarding totally reminded me of this video ((Which Alicia first introduced to me when we were talking about going stand up paddleboarding for her birthday.)). If you’ve already seen it (which I’m sure is pretty much everyone), feel free to move along. If […]
So this posting is very, very overdue. Way back in the days of yore – i.e., September – a bunch of us went stand up paddleboarding for Alicia’s birthday ((You might remember Alicia from such adventures as the Fall Classic Half Marathon 2013, the Edge-to-Edge Half Marathon 2013, Victoria half marathon 2010, Scotiabank half marathon […]
And now I’m just on a roll of talking about businesses that I like, so I think that I’ll make that the theme for today. Which brings me to my hair stylist, Jenny Lynn, the owner of Oh Hey Style ((As with the other postings, this comes straight from my heart – it’s not a […]
Hey, remember that time I finished all my classes for my MBA ((Assuming I passed my Business Ethics exam. Knock on wood.))? Did you ever wonder what all those classes I took were? Lucky for you, I have a spreadsheet! I did some colour coding, because everything is better with colour coding. Dark purple is […]
Half marathon #9 complete! Here’s Alicia and I after the race: If we look a little out of it, it’s only because we are. Thanks to the aforementioned not training enough, both of us wanted to puke. But we did it and our time was better than the last two halfs that I did, so […]
So remember when I told you that you should support the Tyee, the award-winning Vancouver-based independent news magazine, to go national? Well I hope you have been procrastinating on actually doing that because have I got an offer for you! If you go to this link to sign up to support the Tyee, then both […]
First of all, watch this video: Canada needs more independent voices from The Tyee on Vimeo. So, I’m sure you can see why this campaign appeals to me. Facts – I’m a big fan of those. In depth, well-researched investigations into news stories instead of sound bites of 140 characters or less – that sounds […]
After three weeks vacation, the inevitable refrain from many colleagues upon my return was, “Tough to come back, eh?” But the thing is, every time someone said that, I thought, “Not really.” Now, don’t get me wrong – I had a super fantastic vacation and am already dreaming up ideas for my next trip. But […]
Thanks to a Groupon, I went to my first ever Vancouver Canadians game tonight, thus knocking item #65 off of my 101 things to do in 1001 days list! For the uninitiated, the Vancouver Canadians are a baseball team that plays in the Northwest League ((No, I didn’t have to look up the name of […]
I have just realized that I haven’t posted anything about my birthday – well, other than posting on Bethmas Eve. As it turns out, I was just having too much fun celebrating my 36th trip ((Also known as 62. Because who doesn’t love a number that’s a perfect square?)) around the sun to post anything! On […]
