A Horrible Day For Toronto

I have to admit that I’ve done little work today. After hearing the news about the Van Driver attacking and killing people on Yonge Street in the neighbourhood known as Willowdale. I have not been in that neighbourhood for some years, but when I was a child, visited often; my grandparents lived at 69 Sheppard […]

Calendar & Task Collaboration – What I Wish

Years ago, I purchased a Palm PDA – at the time, they were all the rage for keeping track of “stuff.” People used them to keep contacts, manage their tasks and calendar, and do whatever else they could do with them. I had been using a paper based Franklin Day Planner (as shown above), and

Greek Oregano – Not Your Bulk Barn Stuff

While in Greece, I discovered the ubiquitous olive oils and oregano to be far superior to what I have had in Canada. The difference is actually astounding. Olive oil we’ll leave for another post, but for now, let me tell you about the oregano: It’s just…. amazing! It’s believed that oregano was first used by
