Tips To Quench That Olympic Fever- There’s Still Time!
Don’t ask why, but I randomly searched to see if there were still tickets for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics coming up in February. Surprisingly, there were, and I gave a fist pump when I saw “available” next to men’s freestyle skiing. That got me thinking, “bet I’m not the only one.” A tornado of mouse […]
A White Christmas
As a Canadian, I am always so proud and inspired when I hear or read about people actually enjoying the tortuous winter conditions the country has to offer.
