Up on the Wall
So, if you are driving in downtown Toronto on University Avenue and pass by Princess Margaret Cancer Centre have a look up at the banner they put up in the last couple of days. What are those circular swirls you ask? It’s the names of everyone who signed up early for this years Ride to Read More …
Hit me with your best shot!
Yesterday was COVID-19 shot #4 and Moderna at that! I’ve always liked the 1980 Pat Benatar song, Hit me with your best shot. And it seemed appropriate today. As I’m getting my paper work processed it seems like I might not be allowed #4 as Manitoba has not yet approved a second booster. However, when Read More …
Social Distancing
One of the few things I actually like that has come about because of Covide-19, social distancing. I’ve never been a fan of large crowds or being pressed together in a line to get into or out of some venue with a bunch of strangers. I need my space. So, being spaced out is quite Read More …

Shalom, Shalom
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Origin: Hard to say… It’s likely you’ve heard that saying and this morning it came to mind as I was listening to a podcast and riding the bike in the basement on the trainer. So, who is “the student”? Well, that’s likely to be you and Read More …

Modified Goals
I read some things about goal setting a while ago that goals should be like a Lighthouse, something to guide you, to help you make course corrections and not as a destination.
