A Dick's View of the World: The Art of Debugging

http://eighty-plus.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-art-of-debugging.html

A Dick's View of the World. Monday, August 3, 2015. The Art of Debugging. If you have ever seen a pole that has hundreds of staples, well rusted staples, and scraps of previous notes hanging on it, you lose some respect for the 'hood. Not being an entomologist I know very little about bugs. Mosquitoes and spiders on the boat being the exception! But, as a human being I know a lot about being bugged! On the other hand, there are times when people 'bug' us, sometimes even to the point of anger. This ca...

Simple Pleasures: High Park

http://annika-simplepleasures.blogspot.com/2013/08/high-park.html

It is not about the destination but rather the journey. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Toronto never seizes to surprise me. There are so many places to see but we often forget to play tourist in our own city. I arrived here in 1985, and had never been to High Park until I visited with my daughter, earlier this summer. On a sweltering hot July day, we loaded our bikes onto the car rack, and drove into Toronto. I'm glad we had our bikes as we would not have lasted very long on foot. View my complete profile.

Simple Pleasures: Cauliflower Cheddar Soup

http://annika-simplepleasures.blogspot.com/2013/10/cauliflower-cheddar-soup.html

It is not about the destination but rather the journey. Friday, October 4, 2013. Growing up, I was never a fan of soups. Perhaps, I had not tried the "creamy " types of soup yet, as I remember the soup being filled "with stuff". I was a very picky eater and a bowl filled with chunky, slimy vegetables, floating in broth, did not appeal to me. Today, I love soup. Cauliflower Cheddar Soup (use less or more liquid to determine the thickness). 1 head cauliflower, broken in florets. 2 tbsp all-purpose flour.

Simple Pleasures: 9 years later and I still enjoy it..

http://annika-simplepleasures.blogspot.com/2012/11/yoga.html

It is not about the destination but rather the journey. Monday, November 26, 2012. 9 years later and I still enjoy it. I've really been enjoying my yoga classes lately. But, I stuck with it and it has rewarded me with a great sense of inner peace, increased flexibility, strength, focus and a sense of accomplishment. It has become a lifestyle choice. I'm not to fussy about the style of yoga; I enjoy many but my favorites are Vinyasa and Ashtanga Yoga. I have a tendency to get bored easily so a mixture...

Things We Love 2: August 2015

http://thingswelove2.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Things We Love 2. A way of sharing some of the things I love with kindred spirits. Sunday, August 30, 2015. August in the backyard. The back garden seems to be thriving despite the fact that I've been away for more than half of August. Alex and Karl kept it watered in our absence. The Henry clematis suffered a mishap a few years ago, so I planted two replacements last season. The replacements seem to have evaporated, while Henry I has rebounded. Links to this post. We've taken Griskit on these short excu...

Simple Pleasures: Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman

http://annika-simplepleasures.blogspot.com/2013/08/light-between-oceans-by-ml-stedman.html

It is not about the destination but rather the journey. Friday, August 9, 2013. Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman. Light between Oceans,. By ML Stedman, is a beautifully written story where you can hear the waves, feel the love and pain between the well developed characters. They are all so real. . I could not put this book down. During this period of grief, a boat washes ashore carrying a dead man and a small crying infant. This was a great read with a story not easily forgotten. A walk along the sho...

Simple Pleasures: A different type of community...

http://annika-simplepleasures.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-different-type-of-community.html

It is not about the destination but rather the journey. Sunday, October 13, 2013. A different type of community. I live under a stairwell, in a parking garage". That's the answer I received when asking a woman where she lives. My girlfriend, who's a hairdresser, volunteers at a drop-in for the home-less and hungry at a church in Toronto, and this week I was her assistant. In the short time we were there, she gave 9 people a new haircut and we received 9 different stories. Upon seeing a stack of books on ...

Simple Pleasures: One night on a Jumbo Jet 747

http://annika-simplepleasures.blogspot.com/2013/01/one-night-on-jumbo-jet-747.html

It is not about the destination but rather the journey. Friday, January 25, 2013. One night on a Jumbo Jet 747. Unique Hotel in Sweden. As if flying across the Atlantic wasn't enough, I decided to spend the night aboard a 747. One major difference, this one would not take off. In order to catch an early morning flight out of Stockholm, I had to stay one night in close proximity to Arlanda Airport. I had heard of the Jumbo Jet Hostel. There's a cafe aboard where breakfast is served, and a common sitting r...

Simple Pleasures: Afternoon Tea @ The Fairmont Royal York Hotel

http://annika-simplepleasures.blogspot.com/2013/02/afternoon-tea-fairmont-royal-york_4.html

It is not about the destination but rather the journey. Monday, February 4, 2013. Afternoon Tea @ The Fairmont Royal York Hotel. Afternoon Tea amongst friends is a treat and always a pleasure. I've tried many different Tea Rooms within the Toronto area and today it was time for Tea @ Royal York, where Tea has been served since 1929. We each got to choose our own loose tea and my choice was the the Montebello Apple Spice, which was served in a pretty floral china tea pot. Overall, this is a great place fo...
