  • Sunday Special – Prince Edward Island, Canada

    Summer here in Canada is not that bad. It can actually get very very warm and right now our dollar is somewhat weak so it could be an option for some of you to come visit. Of course I love to see all manner of cool things around this big blue marble of ours but…

  • Sunday Special – 2 Cellos

    Today’s feature is not a place but a musical duo that are beyond talented. I saw them in concert here in Vancouver this past Friday and I have to write about them. I first heard of 2 Cellos when a friend posted one of their videos from YouTube onto Facebook. When I watched the video…

  • Sunday Special – Mono Lake, CA (USA)

    Mono Lake, located in the Eastern Sierra region of the state of California, is a bit uncommon when it comes to lakes. First off, it is very very old – it’s been around for almost 1 million years. Secondly, it is secluded; in that there are no outlets for runoff into the ocean. Due to…

  • Sunday Special – South African Wineries

    Last week I highlighted Brooklyn as a good friend was visiting there. Well the second leg of her journey is to South Africa (Cape Town area) so I find it fitting that we focus there today. She has gone to a few wineries so today is South African wine day! I need not tell you…

    When I set off to Chicago after visiting my folks I expected to see the sites, try some good food and hopefully come away with an appreciation for the Windy City. Nothing more and certainly nothing less. What actually happened was far greater – I forged new friendships with people I genuinely enjoyed being with.…

  • Social Media Presence

    As an aspiring blogger I have done some reading about increasing my presence in the social media realm. I do have a bit of presence with the blog’s Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter accounts. I will remain with those three and see how I do with some of the tips I have gleaned. Truthfully though,…

  • Sunday Special – Rock Garden of Chandigarh, India

    While in India, D and I were told that we should see the Rock Garden of Chandigarh. When I first heard of it I immediately thought of a flower-related rock garden since that is what is in my mom’s front yard. This rock garden is nothing of the sort. Rather, it is a very cool…
