General Updates

Some general updates:

I sealed my driveway on Sunday and Monday. Two coats. It was hot and sweaty but it’s done now, and I am experienced in the ways of sealing a driveway.
Today I identified a plant in my front garden as a weed. I pulled it. It was quite a large [...]

Fare on the Square

This labour day weekend I will join local chefs from Kingston’s best restaurants as a volunteer for Downtown Kingston!’s presentation of Fare on the Square. I have never volunteered for such an event, but I assume I will be excellent at it. And it involves food–a big bonus. Unfortunately, that’s all I [...]

Saucony Hurricanes

Yesterday I flew to Peachtree City, Georgia. I packed lightly, both because I’m only here for a few days and also because it’s incredibly hot here. I would have to guess that the mercury hit 100 today. I had about a third of a suitcase packed for the trip.

Saturday Morning Run ft. Bear Sighting

I went for a nice Saturday morning run this morning. A bear crossed my track. I like that this happened only a few kilometres away from where I live.

I Didn’t Win a Barbecue

Last weekend was packed full of adventure.

My journey started directly from work. I had the pleasure of taking a 2009 BMW 750Li for the trip. This made the driving extremely enjoyable, comfortable, and easy.

The first leg was Ottawa to Kingston. I needed to stop into Kingston to pick up my tent and [...]
