The Planet Is Saved! Saturday night the whole world came together in a huge show of support for what's becoming their favorite planet. For an hour, all of us shut down all the points in our house that drew power from the grid. We burned candles. We talked about the environment. Some even fondue-d! For one whole hour. The peo...

A sometimes daily blog about living, riding, running, swimming and being generally amused by the goings on in the greatest city in the world.Kingston Ontario. Thursday, September 27, 2007. It's not my fault! All I wanted was for them to come and haul away my old fridge like they said they would. That's it. I was not interested in how busy they were, how other employees didn't do their jobs right or how "sometimes these things happen.". Just come and get the fridge! That part was easy. Finally the Ontario...

A sometimes daily blog about living, riding, running, swimming and being generally amused by the goings on in the greatest city in the world.Kingston Ontario. Friday, November 9, 2007. Today, I saw him for the second time. The first time, I thought maybe it was one of those "did I really see that" moments. But sadly, I saw what I saw. More on that in a moment. The Ontario government is still contemplating similar laws to curb driver-cellphone-use, and some of the other mindless acts that they're witnessi...

A sometimes daily blog about living, riding, running, swimming and being generally amused by the goings on in the greatest city in the world.Kingston Ontario. Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Just a few thoughts regarding the new arena:. 1) After being at three events there in three days, I'm still having difficulty actually believing that it's here. I caught myself on each of the three days thinking "wow, this is really Kingston! However, they'll be unhappy that some will continue to park on the ferry dock i...

A sometimes daily blog about living, riding, running, swimming and being generally amused by the goings on in the greatest city in the world.Kingston Ontario. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. What's Wrong With Kids These Days? One of the great things about being a parent, is getting a phone call in the middle of the afternoon and your son is on the other end saying "you'll never guess where I'm calling from! He's fourteen now, so he's right, it's difficult to guess these things. I'm afraid to even try. It's somet...

A sometimes daily blog about living, riding, running, swimming and being generally amused by the goings on in the greatest city in the world.Kingston Ontario. Thursday, October 18, 2007. The End is the Beginning. CKLC used to be the coolest thing in Kingston. I arrived here just as 1380 CKLC was starting to make its move on the big station in town, 960 CKWS. Jim Waters had just taken over the station , and was reshaping it to sound like a BIG radio station in a small city. Most of them are gone now.

A sometimes daily blog about living, riding, running, swimming and being generally amused by the goings on in the greatest city in the world.Kingston Ontario. Monday, April 21, 2008. Green (with smoke and mirrors). Modemit will all just prove how the media, as usual, will have you thinking that we created the entire environmental movement. NBC is "green" all this week. Good for them. The paper here has a new "green" column that pops up several times a week. Love it! I just wonder if the desired effect is...

A sometimes daily blog about living, riding, running, swimming and being generally amused by the goings on in the greatest city in the world.Kingston Ontario. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. As of May 23rd 2007 I was still telling my friends "I'll never run a marathon." This was usually the comment that came right after "I will never, ever go in an Ironman! So I was wrong. A year of training went by in the blink of an eye. The thought (threat? When we showed up on the Wednesday night before the race, I had all t...

A sometimes daily blog about living, riding, running, swimming and being generally amused by the goings on in the greatest city in the world.Kingston Ontario. Thursday, March 27, 2008.

This was a group of motivated individuals who've decided to help raise cash for the Canadian Cancer Society by fundraising, and to draw attention to this, they compete in an Ironman triathlon. After that finally sunk in, I st...

A sometimes daily blog about living, riding, running, swimming and being generally amused by the goings on in the greatest city in the world.Kingston Ontario. Monday, April 28, 2008. That said, I don't want to suck at it! On the contrary, I would really like to do well, and when I say "well," I mean "better than anyone would expect of me.". Running has never been difficult for me. That's because I've always been able to get away with trying just hard enough to do well. So yesterday I put it all on the li...
