I had a fun time trying to find myself in the finishing video that the National Post put up of Sunday’s race. Here I am approaching the finish line – I then keep running for about a second and disapear off the screen. Here’s Baron – who ran right in front of the camera. Coincidence? […]
when i started blogging, i did it as a way to keep in touch with people. i was never a fan of the large group mails, preferring instead a blog where i wasn’t forcing my life down people’s throats. but now, i blog mostly for me. i get a kick out of reading old entries […]
I moved! Yes, I left my colourful apartment of 2.5 years (RIP Hello Kitty Room), and have moved to a bright, white one complete with fun things like a dishwasher and en-suite laundry. And like my other place, I know a bunch of folks who live in the building. In fact, I know two on […]
For about eight year’s I’ve banked at President’s Choice (PC) Financial. The good: you get free checking and savings accounts without any service fees. Almost everything is included: cheques, bill payments, interact at CIBC machines, even checking the PDF of your cheques online. All free. The bad: no branches. All interaction is online or over […]

That’s right, Toronto is dark. There’s a power outage that’s been affecting something like 20,000 homes since 10:00 PM last night. And it happens to be the coldest night/day of the year with temperatures that are close to -20. Lucky me, I’m in the affected area. On the plus side, I had a terrific night’s […]
So the Schachters made it out of Toronto on one of the few flights that departed that day. Hurray! And now it’s the start of another year. Here’s hoping it’s awesome, with very little snow.
