Side Trip to Lumby
I am on a work trip up to the Southern Interior, Lumby to be exact. Where the heck is that? Hang an East at Vernon and drive until you reach a four way stop with a flashing red light. You’ve arrived. Not much here. I suppose it’s quaint, probably lovely in the summer. But when you are looking around at…

A Short History of my Camera Addiction
Life has become so technological. Our phones are high tech, our cameras are high tech, even our toothbrush contains a computer! I’ve always had a camera, I can still remember my first one. A little Kodak 100 Instamatic. That was around 1975 and I was about 8 years old. It was a hand-me-down, but I had a camera! I was…
Read more »Pancakes….in a can? Seriously?
Pancakes. Comfort food. Even the word sounds comforting. Memories of weekend breakfasts at Granny and Grandad’s farm, at Grandma and Grandpa’s orchard, at our cabin, and at home too of course. Pancakes are awesome, easy, nourishing. Pancakes…cakes made in a pan. How can this “not” be a good thing? Sure, I can see the argument for frozen pancakes, you know…

I’ve been using a cool little Mac application for awhile now and I think it’s going to stay in the repertoire. I’ll admit it, I’m an organizational nut.

OK, found a new piece of Mac software that I love. It’s called SideNote, and it’s free. Do you use Stickies? I do, but there are a couple of things about Stickies that annoy me. One, I have to open the application to start it all the time. And two, when I do leave it open or have it start…

Where to start. We have Telus phone, internet and mobile sevice. You’d think they would do something, anything, to actually hang on to existing customers but their overbearing attitude seems to be, “well, we had you and wrung you for as much as we could so bugger off if you don’t want to stay and keep paying more” I seriously…

Have I mentioned that I love my scooter? Oh, I have? Oh well, sorry, but I have to say it again. I LOVE my scooter! Today was a gorgeous, albeit crisp, november afternoon and so I tossed the camera under the seat and zoomed off to North Shore parts unknown. I got myself thoroughly and delightfully lost up in the…
Read more »The Problems with email
I love email. And I hate it at the same time. It can be the most amazing time saver. And it can be the bane of your existence. I’ve had the same (well one of them anyway) email address since 1992. Since before most people even knew what email was actually. And what I’ve noticed in the past 17 years…
