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 …
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 …
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 …

Well, 2020 wasn’t exactly a banner year on the bike. Things were looking good in January & February… Read More …
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. One analogy was if you had a goal to “run a marathon” that might be considered a “destination”. Once you achieve it you’ve Read More …
A while back in March 2019, I started to get some ads for Inkbox in my Instagram feed which caught my attention.
