Up on the Wall
So, if you are driving in downtown Toronto on University Avenue and pass by Princess Margaret Cancer Centre have a look up at the banner they put up in the last couple of days. What are those circular swirls you ask? It’s the names of everyone who signed up early for this years Ride to Read More …
Kitchen Update No: 1
We’re updating our kitchen counter tops to quartz! As is seemingly quite normal one new thing tends to lead to a bunch of new things. New counter mean new sink, new faucet and new backslash tiles. While the new counter will be installed by the pros I’m tasked with removing the old counter and doing Read More …
House Work
I seem to have had some new motivation lately to accomplish a few long outstanding tasks around the house. We have 3 basement windows that were never finished when the basement was developed. I just didn’t know how to tackle trimming them out without a lot of messing about. And then, early in the pandemic, Read More …
2022 Tour of Sufferlandria

Today, thanks to this cutting edge treatment, I’m cancer Read More …
Tour of Sufferlandria 2021
There are may days when I go to bed and I’m thanking God for his goodness and faithfulness in my life that I thank Him for cycling. I often pull into the garage and look at the bikes on the rack and think “Who knew that at my age I’d have 5 bicycles and ride Read More …
Once Upon a Time …
Currently 202 and hoping to build it back up more by May 2021 for the outdoor riding season. I was a little younger then and the body hadn’t been through so much but, time for a comeback.
