I'm a writer. I do many things, but writing is one of my favourites. I use my blog mainly to pontificate about a variety of topics that may or may not be interesting to anyone. I don't let that stop me.

Christmas, travelling & photos of Mt. Robson

Christmas, travelling & photos of Mt. Robson

I cover a bit of ground in this post. Took the kids to B.C., photos of our stops at Mt. Robson, visiting old friends and even jumped up on the soap box about snow tires. A shotgun blast of information. Hey, it's worth the read, if I do say so myself.

Life is good in Edmonton

Despite the economy heading into recession everywhere else, Edmonton and Alberta are still doing well. The dramatically lower oil prices ought to slow the economy a bit, but I think companies will be able to get some projects done a little more easily now. The oil prices will be heading back up; perhaps not as...

New Future Shop in Edmonton

I was invited, along with a number of other Edmonton bloggers and social media types, to Edmonton’s new Future Shop in South Common. The new Future Shop store is actually just around the corner from Ikea and kitty-corner to *cough* Wal-Mart.

Writing press releases & more this week

I haven’t blogged all week, so you must be wondering what I’ve been up to. It’s been a productive week I must say! I have worked on my next big article entitled: “how to get the media to pick up your news release.” Still not done yet. I think I’m writing a book on it!...
