Slinky Minky!!
Monday, March 19, 2018 29 comments Yesterday DH had to buy a particular fluid for his shaver which is only available locally at an outlet mall. OK then. It was cold but sunny, a lovely day to be outside. (Too little snow for XC skiing . . . ) We parked on the edge of ... Read more
Pre-membering
Sunday, March 18, 2018 24 comments As always, I enjoyed the comments on yesterday's "gated" blog a lot. I absolutely agree there's a difference between "gated" and "bubbled" (oblivious to privilege) and that we need a balance of moderation between self-care and self-immola... Read more
Gated?
Saturday, March 17, 2018 23 comments Gated communities still aren't very common in Canada. But many Canadian friends have winter residences in gated communities south of the border. One such friend, who is to put it mildly something of an "acquired taste", has been subjected to m... Read more

Recess Walk
Thursday, March 15, 2018 21 comments I did not have enough time for a "recess" walk today. As I contemplated whether I'd go anyway, I was thinking primarily about how cold it was outside and how rushed I was and that it did not matter really whether I went or not. I would n... Read more
To Life!! Yes, Even Life "Sentences"!!
Wednesday, March 14, 2018 29 comments My "life sentence" blog yesterday was really a follow up riff on the prior "any diet will work" blog. "Diet" meaning "the way I choose to eat". CHOOOOOOOOOOOSE really being the operative verb in that "life sentence". Yeah, truly I am go... Read more
Life Sentence
Tuesday, March 13, 2018 24 comments Following up on yesterday's blog: I'm just reminding myself that dieting is a life sentence. I am dieting for life. For MY life: which is hugely enriched by MAINtaining my weight loss. (Richer, sweeter than ANYthing that I can e... Read more

Monday, March 12, 2018 22 comments I know: for many of us "diet" is a four letter word. But all it really means is the way we choose to eat. I wish I could provide a link to an article from this morning's Globe and Mail to Alex Hutchinson's article this morning on the ... Read more

Back to Winter!
Thursday, March 08, 2018 27 comments The north wind shall blow And we shall have snow And what will the robin do then, poor thing? He'll sit in a barn And keep himself warm And hide his head under his wing, poor thing And hide his head under his wing. Cold again... Read more
Fruit Feeder Fail
Tuesday, March 06, 2018 26 comments . . . . or maybe not, given it's likely the squirrels also require an infusion of vitamins from fresh fruit at this time of the year?? Anyhow, the fruit feeder (and that nifty design was not my invention, I borrowed if after googling for id... Read more
