About 2 or 3 weeks ago, I was at a garage sale in Sundance when I noticed an item, that at the time, caught my eye, but not enough to make the purchase.  It was a set of exercise weights.   They were hexagon style dumbbells ranging from 8 to about 35 pounds -- just right for my work-outs.  Well I walked away never having bought the silly things, and now they’re all I can think of. Anyway, this morning, in lieu of a weight-lifting workout… what with no weights to lift and everything, I decided to head out to do some kayaking on Lake Sundance.  I still had those weights weighing on my mind though, so I decide to take a detour past the house that had hosted the garage sale a few weeks ago… just in case. So I drove by, and alas, no garage sale, so I headed toward the lake.    That’s when th... 07/01/2012

As I drove down Heritage Drive and turned the corner onto Fairmount Drive to meet my client to list his condo for sale, I was struck by just how conveniently located it was.  Heritage Drive is a well-used conduit in Calgary that effectively links McLeod Trail, a main North to South artery in Calgary to shopping and restaurants in Deerfoot Meadows, and provides access to Deerfoot Trail.  Exiting the City of Calgary to the North and South of town, Deerfoot Trail becomes Highway #2 or the Queen E II as it’s also known. For many, this major roadway is the key to making a living in Calgary as commuters use it on a daily basis to get to work down town, across town, or out of town. “Turn right after the Shoppers’” he had said, when giving me directions.  And he was right, the building was loca... 06/28/2012
