Today we planned to do Barry’s second tile collection route, which again, were new tiles for him, but not for Cindy and me. He planned a coffee break at the Tin Roof Café in Erin, where we arranged for David and Dayle to meet us for lunch and treats, to celebrate Dayle’s 71st birthday. CindyContinue reading “Hillsburgh 2024 – Day 2”

Erie Canalway- Day 2 – Niagara Falls to Buffalo
The hotel offered a breakfast of refined carbs which we took advantage of, but isn’t my preference, and I was hungry again by mid-morning. Before setting off, we headed to the R. Nathaniel Dett Chapel, which, according to the historic plaque is “an important community icon (which)… bears witness to the early black settlement of theContinue reading “Erie Canalway- Day 2 – Niagara Falls to Buffalo”
Rochester – Day 3
It was raining when we woke up, and had been forecast to do so when we went to bed last night, so we planned to visit the Eastman Museum. The rain had stopped by the time we were ready to leave the room, but the roads were still very wet, and heavy rain was predictedContinue reading “Rochester – Day 3”
Rochester- Day 2
It’s easy to forget that Covid is still circulating and continues to be a potentially deadly and disabling disease. I caught it for the first time at the end of March of this year. I would preferred not to catch it again . One of the things that I do help me evaluate risk isContinue reading “Rochester- Day 2”
Rochester – Day 1
Michael and I decided to do a getaway to Rochester for his birthday. I had been to Rochester twice before, with Patti in 2013 and 2014, but Michael had never been there. I didn’t have particularly strong memories of the city. The ones I had included an impression of a city in decline caused byContinue reading “Rochester – Day 1”
Calgary – Day 8 & 9
We were planning another walking day in Calgary today, but before we got out of the apartment Patti’s son Robert phoned to ask if we wanted to go to Kananaskis for a hike while he golfed with a friend. We accepted. Here’s this morning’s picture of Cat on my bed, playing with my ball whichContinue reading “Calgary – Day 8 & 9”
Calgary – Day 7
Today was a walking exploration of downtown Calgary. We walked somewhere between 13 and 17 km. My Strava said 17 and Patti‘s Apple Watch said 13. She might’ve paused, and I have GPS squiggles adding distance in some of the places where we went inside. I had identified 10 things that I wanted to see.Continue reading “Calgary – Day 7”
Calgary – Day 6
I didn’t take a picture of Cat this morning, so here’s a picture of us waiting for the bus. Every time I ride the bus I think of the Danish “The Bus” advertisement. The bus we have been taking from the apartment to the bike shop has been very convenient and quick, even if it’sContinue reading “Calgary – Day 6”
Calgary- Day 4
I woke before my alarm this morning to this face. It’s Canada Day so we decided to do a ride along both sides of the Bow River through the City thinking there might be Canada Day events happening along the river. We took the bus from the apartment to Outlaw Sports to pick up theContinue reading “Calgary- Day 4”
Calgary – Day 3
I was a bit sore after yesterday’s ride on the heavy, wide barred, mountain bike and was doing some stretching after breakfast. Cat joined me. We drove to a bike rental place about a 15 minute drive south of where we are staying. We were both much happier with the bikes we rented today. IContinue reading “Calgary – Day 3”
