You know what is a pain in the ass?

After consultin ...

Epic Ride for an Epic Cause: 2011 Ride to Conquer Cancer - 300 Spots Left!

January 27th, 2011


Epic is an oft overused term. Not in this case. 

I just got an email from the 2011 Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer benefiting BC Cancer Foundation. It said there was only 300 spots left for this year's ride!

Unfortunately this year I am not in a financial position to partake in the ride. Each rider is required to raise a minimum of $2,500 - it is NOT as hard as it sounds. Just sign up, th ...

Boostie 101

June 14th, 2010

Then, while studying HIST 207 A Canadian History at McGill I came across a cult uprising out of Kingston, ON that became known as the Boostie Revolution and a solution to my problem lay there. 

Students at Kingston's Queens ...

Birthday Brings Lots of Well Wishes

June 10th, 2010

Birthday Present 2010The idea of a sober birthday was not one I was necessarily looking forward to. Not sure how I was going to deal with all the cheers and general well wishes while not partaking in a libation or two.

Turned out to not be a problem at all and in fact helped to reinforce the strength that I can derive from my tremendous support network. Jacynthe put together an unreal gift that was a framed Olym ...
