Today Megan, Michael and I visited the Sheridan Campus in Oakville. We picked up Megan from school just before lunch and headed to Oakville. We parked and checked in at the Student Tours office to give them our license plate so we didn’t get ticketed. Then we went to The Marketplace for lunch. Just likeContinue reading “Friday October 17 – Sheridan Campus Oakville Visit”

Friday October 3 – Humber College North Campus Visit
Today Megan and I visited the Humber College North Campus. It is one of five campuses that we plan to visit to help Megan decide where to go next year. The campus is quite close to home – only about 15 minutes by car – and easily accessible by public transit. I was surprised toContinue reading “Friday October 3 – Humber College North Campus Visit”
Saturday October 18 – Climbing the CN Tower
In early October 2007 Megan asked me if we could climb the CN Tower. I didn’t know, but told her I would look into it. I found out that The Toronto United Way holds a climb for fundraising every October. Alun expressed an interest in going, too. I researched how many stairs had to beContinue reading “Saturday October 18 – Climbing the CN Tower”
Gas Price War
When I was out running errands this morning, I came across gas for $1.096! I can’t remember when it was last under $1.10. This is at the Esso at Richvale Drive South, which for months have been running cheaper than the one near me. Today, the one by me was $1.179. I filled up evenContinue reading “Gas Price War”
Wednesday, October 15 – Happy Birthday Dad
It is my dad’s 81st birthday on Sunday October 19 so today Lara and I took him out for lunch at Panera Bread in Mississauga. I love their Autumn Squash soup. Over the years I have found it difficult to find a creative gift for my father. It’s not that he is hard to buyContinue reading “Wednesday, October 15 – Happy Birthday Dad”
Thanksgiving
I had a lovely ride for coffee up to Caledon East to my usual stop at Gabe’s Country Bake Shop. As I pedal north, I anticipate the coffee and think about what I will choose to eat with it. The sky was blue, and while the leaves were changing, there is still a lot ofContinue reading “Thanksgiving”
Summer is Over
There was frost on the roof this morning when I got up. I dressed in my warm running tights to go meet Patti for our Saturday morning run. Patti tells me she had to scrape frost off her windows before driving. It was sunny and still so it didn’t feel as cold as it was.Continue reading “Summer is Over”
My Green is Showing
Owen caught a cold and missed school last Friday. I tried my best not to catch it, but Monday morning I woke up feeling terrible. I didn’t have any colds in the fall 2013/winter 2014 cold season so perhaps I am a little more susceptible this year. That seems to be how it goes forContinue reading “My Green is Showing”
Sunday Ride
It was a cool windy day today, but I am determined to get in a few more long rides on my road bike before putting it away for the winter. Since the winds were from the southwest today, I decided to ride to Mississauga to my dad’s place for a visit. It took me anContinue reading “Sunday Ride”
Treetop Trekking
The day dawned dark, cool and wet, but was forecast to improve. I met Patti for our Saturday morning run and increased our running to 90 seconds running, one minute walking. We repeated that 16 times which led to 60% more running that last week. I had planned to get out running in the week,Continue reading “Treetop Trekking”
