  • Wordless Wednesday in the Garden

    In the garden this morning…                                                                

  • Cyanide Prescription

    Today’s funny… Sue, a calm, respectable and understanding lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, “I would like to buy some cyanide.” The pharmacist asked, “Why in the world do you need cyanide?” Sue replied, “I need it to poison my husband Phil.” The pharmacist’s eyes…

  • Winning the Lotto Max

    Do you ever stop and wonder about winning the lottery? How much money would it take for you to leave your job and pack it all in? How much? Say you won the Lotto Max and cashed a cheque for $50 million. Pretty obvious you would pack it in and move to a warmer clime.…

  • The Assumptions We Make

    It is interesting to think about the assumptions we make in life and how they change as we get older. Yesterday morning I was out for my usual 6:30am walk with the dog when I saw our neighbour pull into her driveway. Her hair was a mess and she looked like she was in a…

  • Google Introduces the Tap Keyboard

    Google is known for their “forward-thinking” approach to technology. I particularly like this new phone keyboard concept they introduced on April 1st. Here is a little more about the benefits of new keyboard system. You really have to admire the work that Google puts into their approach to technology.

    Perhaps the most liberating thing that I have done for myself in a very long time is when I began to carry a “purse”. Some people call the man purse a “murse”. I prefer to just call it a bag. When I need to carry my iPad and laptop with me I carry my Gene…

  • Spring is in the air

    Seeing as, according to the calendar at least, it is now spring time, I have updated the header picture here to reflect the spring season. The winter pic has been put away for the time being. Enjoy.

  • In customer service the answer is, “Sure we can help you”

    And, we are back! I have been away working on a couple of social media campaigns so as you have hopefully noticed, I haven’t posted anything here over the last couple of weeks. Now I am back. And I am ready to blog about my favourite topic, customer service. On February 17th another blogger I…

  • A post on what teachers do and make

    I have been “away” working on a variety of campaigns and other political stuff-and-such over the last month and have neglected this poor little blog for too long. So it was kind of a nice surprise to receive an email from Mr Ewen, a friend who also happens to be a Surrey teacher. He asked…

  • Randoms; Nissan Leaf test drive, how the French raise children and iPads in the classroom

    Today I have a couple or three random things to post in one place. First, an interesting read in Macleans, one that I wish we had seen and read before we our twins came home to live with us. Next random thing is my latest test drive. We took a Nissan Leaf out for a…
