Been Kinda Good…

I’ve been *gasp* running and I’ve even thrown some weights around.  Say whaaaaaaaat? As a way to kind give me a bit of a kick in the rear, I’ve been adding to my running play list.  Tiny bit of a hiccup since my bluetooth headphones don’t seem to want to connect to my new phone…

Running for a Cause

A weird thing happened to me a little while ago.  I received an e-mail from someone named Cara from Eventbrite.ca asking if I would be interested in writing a post about causes that I run for.  At first I was a bit hesitant; you know that whole “online security” thing and was expecting that at…

Home for a Rest

That is the title of the ultimate Canadian party song by Great Big Sea.  If you’re in a bar and this comes on, you’ll quickly see who the Canucks are.  Here’s a link if you want to check it out. And yes I did get back from vacation a little while ago.  Unfortunately I came back just…

Yup.  That happened.…

Hello Friends. It’s Been a While

Yes I know I’ve been MIA for a bit.  Let me explain.  See I live in the middle of nowhere which means that I have satellite internet service.  It is slow.  Notoriously slow.  And if I use up my allotment, well it gets even slower.  Just checking up on posts can be problematic and if…
