Sunday Morning Swim
When I lived in Whistler, the first thing I’d do on ski days would be to stick my head out the window (from my bed) to assess the conditions. Was it snowing? cold? sunny? Could I hear the snow makers? avalanche bombs? Next, phone the Ski Patrol forecast line. It was so great to have…

Happy New Year!
Last post I was Spring Cleaning in August, now it’s New Year’s in September. No I haven’t slipped into some parallel universe or hit my head. As I get ready to head back to work, September always feels like a “new year”. First of all, a shout out to all my friends (and I hope…

Patience, Grasshopper
“Good things come to those who wait”“Patience is a virtue”“Slow down and smell the roses” All of these well-known and frequently-used quotes extol the virtues of slowing down. So why is it in the 21st Century, we all want things to happen NOW? Cell phones let us communicate with our friends, family and work wherever,…
