Taking in Alberta’s enormous cattle ranches and hector upon hector of cornfields, it’s hard for me to grasp how richly the area is soaked in history. In fact, it never dawned on me at all when I first moved back here in 2003. (I was born in northern Alberta, but my family left when I [...]

Blog Crawl Monday: Part 7
Posted in Blog Crawl Mondays, tagged Blog Crawl Mondays on March 29, 2010 | 3 Comments »
It’s another week, and another Blog Crawl. I love Mondays. I hope my readers love Mondays as well. This week I decided to start my crawl on a blog I’ve been reading and watching for a while, Hop and Jaunt. If you’ve never visited Alyson and John’s blog, you definitely should. They’ve recently re-designed their [...]
New Design Preview

So this is the basic design for my new look. The coding is being worked on at the moment, so this just has sample text, and the custom items on the right side are blank at the moment. I changed this so many times. I think the designer probably wanted to kill me. However, this [...]

Illegally Leaving London
Posted in Travel, tagged London, Travel, UK on March 25, 2010 | 10 Comments »
After 2 sparkling days in Paris, London left me slightly disappointed. I was staying at St. Christopher’s in Camden Town- which wasn’t bad, but the neighbourhood was dirty. In fact I felt like I needed a HAZMAT suite as I slide into a phone booth to phone home. After walking the grounds of the Palace [...]
The Calgary Verve: Inglewood

Driving east on 9th Ave, past Fort Calgary, you’ll come to an old steel bridge with the word Inglewood overhead. Crossing the bridge is like leaving the big bad city and driving into small town Canada. It’s weird and cool all at once. Inglewood is said to be THE new hip neighbourhood in Calgary. I’ve [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, I plan on shooting some video while I travel for my Niece whose 2yrs old. I know, she’s young. However she pretty smart and talking to her through video means she will know what I look like!! However, with this being my second video, I am still trying to master the [...]

My apologies for not posting Blog Crawl Monday last week. There are weeks when work becomes so involved, that blogging suffers a little. However I’m back this week! When I first started my blog crawling, I would crawl most of the day and list around 10 sites. However as the weeks have progressed I’ve discovered [...]

How to Find a Neighbourhood Pub
Posted in How To, tagged How To, Neighbourhood Pub on March 19, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Everyone loves to find a place “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”. It gives you warm fuzzies when you walk in the door and the staff greets you by name with a friendly smile. It’s like coming home after a long trip. However finding said bar/pub can be hard, very, very hard. Believe me, I know! [...]
