A nasty headcold has sidelined me for the Terry Fox Run - Waterloo. I will do a 5km to meet my commitment. It just won't be today.

Thanks to all my sponsors. I very much appreciate each of you.

It's the first week for my CSA share. I've been looking forward to this since last fall ( Read more... )

I seem to have gotten off track with my goal to update my blog(s) more often this year. What's been happening lately?

I was up & out early this morning to head for the Terry Fox Run. My ankle has been acting up all week so I wasn't sure how it would go ( Read more... )

I have been advised to "Immerse yourself in things for yourself rather than tasks." this weekend.

I am hopeless at things like this. Don't laugh. I really am. Any suggestions as to what I could do? (The only thing I can say won't happen is a bath. The tub is small and badly in need of scrubbing.)
