The 2010 Summer Blogging Challenge is slowly coming to a close, not actually sure the date we end this.  I think September 3rd?  I wasn’t 100% sure I was going to be able to complete it and have something I think is interesting each day.  I tried to keep it different each time and I [...]

Recently Ed Stafford completed the unimaginable trek along the Amazon river from source to sea.  He started April 2nd, 2008 and completed a few weeks ago on August 9th, 2010.  The distance?  Oh just a few miles, try 4,000 to be exact (That’s 6,437 KM’s)  To put that into perspective that’s the same distance as [...]

Hey guys and gals, just wanted to give an update with where I am with the Easter Seals Donations. So far we have $720 raised for the Easter Seals charity.  That’s awesome and thank you so much for the donations thus far.  We still have a little ways to go until we reach that $2,000 [...]

No this is not a product pitch but tonight we were able to take part in a seminar talking about skin care and some of the beauty products we have.  I wasn’t 100% sure I should go to this since it would be all about beauty and skin care and all that girly stuff.  However [...]

Today I woke up and looked outside and it was cloudy, +13 (COLD), and dreary outside.  It’s August and I always think of August still being warm but not this year.  Apparently Edmonton has had a pretty crappy summer this year, the crappiest since the mid 90’s I heard from my brother in-law.  So weather [...]

Something I did not know is that Kijiji is owned by EBay.  They created it in 2005 however I’m unsure really why they created it.  Says it’s an online local classified community however I’ve used it many times and it’s been much more powerful than EBay and best thing it’s FREE!  So yeah I’ve used [...]

I just picked up a new book called Wild at Heart by John Eldredge and as I started to read I stopped for a moment to take a count of how many books I’ve read this year. So far including this one it will be 8 books and I hope to pick one more up [...]

I was thinking today, amongst the smoke, how the recent training system that our corporate head honcho’s brought in.  Not only did they bring it in, but they’ve told us how many courses we have to take and said it was mandatory.  Now the training system is a pretty prestigious one, Harvard Manage Mentor.  Now [...]

I guess for the first time in this Summer Blogging Challenge I really don’t have anything profound to say,  anything really interesting to say.  We are heading out tonight to have dinner with Vlad and Kim, cannot remember the last time we did that, it’s been awhile for sure.  I’m excited to understand what exactly [...]

Today we had dinner with an amazing couple that Lindsay sorta works with in her current job.  They are actually a pretty decent couple, and I say actually because they are in the financial advisor type of position in a place where Lindsay works that are not actually broke and stand on principal and really [...]
