Rolling the insurance dice
Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:50:13 +0000

Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to plan for the future if we knew when we were going to die? Not that I really want to know, or hope that it is sooner rather than later, but what an advantage it would be to know exactly how long we have to do the things we want to do [...]

By Leah Walker — It seems safe to say this summer it’s not just the pipsqueaks in the back seat asking again and again, “Are we there yet?”.  Investors, too, have been full of nervous energy, squirming in their seats waiting for the economy to work its way out of recession.

With her previous CDs, Jones seems to dabble in different music genres, such as jazz, folk-rock, old country and contemporary. Although piano is her [...]

If you were in Toronto this summer, you noticed it wasn’t too sunny. And if you ventured outside, you probably have noticed how un-hot it was. Cool. Bordering on cold. One can never really rely on Toronto’s weather to be consistent. Never fear though, I was on the water in a kayak all summer. And on Monday October 25, I’ll [...]

In praise of the hamster wheel
Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:02:31 +0000

I used to think treadmills were for wimps. Ok, I still do, but I guess I am one now. When I ran marathons back in the ’90s, I ran no matter what the weather. I had always been told if you don’t train in bad weather, it could come back to haunt you on race day. So [...]

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:53:43 +0000

Hurricanes  According to an article I saw on Cruise Critic, September 10 is the height of the Hurricane Season. The season runs until December first.
