I'll admit that I'm not a huge fan of shopping, which is probably a good thing... at least for my bank account. This is probably the result of growing up on a farm with the closest decent mall being two hours away. I have to be in the right mood for a day or weekend... Continue Reading →
Last Friday I bid farewell to my Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council (MRAC) coworkers. We enjoyed lunch together and they surprised me with a goodbye gift, along with a very thoughtful card.

As I'm hauling my stuff into my place at the end of the day, I slip my hand into the mailbox and pull out what usually consists of a pile of junk mail. A coupon for cheap pizza. A bill. Direct mail from a realtor wanting to sell my condo. Yet another coupon for cheap pizza. Oh... Continue Reading →
While backpacking in New Zealand last December I saw a few upside down Christmas trees. Apparently they're popular in that part of the world. Here's a photo I snapped of an upside down Christmas tree hanging in a restaurant in Queenstown, NZ. There's even a few presents "under" the tree! Would you ever have an... Continue Reading →
