I'm getting an ebook reader for Christmas, the Kobo one that Chapters/Indigo sponsors (and Barnes and Noble sells in the US). It will read ePub books which is the standard for ebooks as well as pdf files. I will be able to borrow from the library if i want as well. I also did some judicious searching online and have found a few downloads of ebooks ( Read more... )

Another good workout with the PFD. He pushes me but only if i want to be pushed. I'll give most things a try and i think he knows where i'd draw the line so pretty much anything he suggests, i can do or at least try to. It's good, too, because there is always some new exercise he shows me each time i go so i don't get bored. We don't do all the ( Read more... )

Anyway now i will just get to grips with the new remote control and all the funcitonality of the dvr. I can actually use the old remote but the newer one has a few buttons that are easier to find and use. I'll keep the old one for a ( Read more... )

Mom and i are going on a road trip over this long weekend. Tomorrow is Canada Day so is a national holiday. I booked off Friday as well so we're going to the beautiful Annapolis Valley here in Nova Scotia. We've booked a lovely inn, a pretty Victorian building for a few nights and there's lots to do and see in the area. There's a couple of restored ( Read more... )
