It's been 10 days since we packed the moving truck, a pickup truck, a van and my car and left Oakville for our new home in Tavistock an hour and a bit down the road.  Ten action packed days, I must add.

I wrote the following post last night as I was about to cross the 300,000 point hurdle.  But I left it too long to post.  I wrote a few comments today and I crossed the line while commenting on a great post by Andrea Swiedler.   Then I received some comments on a previous post I'd written which a...

Let's hope 2011 will be a great year for all of us and that we can accomplish all that we set out to do.  Add in  l...

The Facebook comment came across loud and clear yesterday from a friend.  "Have you made your New Year's resolutions ?"  Oh no, it was January 1st.  Was it too late to make one?  Are you supposed to make them on December 31 and do they still count if you make them once the clock kicks over to a n...
