I felt compelled to comment on a recent ESPN’s NHL Player Confidential article that announced that Winnipeg was named as the NHL players’ most-dreaded city to visit. “Most-dreaded city” are pretty harsh words. Why ESPN would take that angle to essentially demote NHL hockey cities with that specific poll question is unclear. But if you … More Winnipeg is Beautiful, No Matter What 21 NHLers Say

He seemed excited, as if he was a hardcore hockey fan. I will give him credit…he does know a bit more about hockey than … More Hockey Pools, Algorithms and Cute Jerseys
Tonight I was filling out a travel visa application form. My first one ever! One of the lucky perks of being a Canadian: you don’t often need to get a travel visa to enter countries. I was actually quite excited about the process though. Well, not so much the process but the end result of … More Nationalities, Travel Visas and Canadian Pride
So we survived! The Sparkling Hill Resort, where I took Armando for a birthday surprise getaway, has the only cold sauna in North America. It is a sauna that has a temperature of -110 degrees celsius. Yes, that’s what I said: MINUS 110 degrees celsius!! Armando and I wanted to add it to our list … More Cold Saunas are Cool (and Cold!)
Could I possibly write another post of Armando’s hair, or lack there of? (see original post here). Oh, yes I can! My poor, dear hubby…he just gives me such fun stuff to write about! So, it all started when I found out that he had an appointment with an Image Consultant who was a guest … More Armando’s Trip to the Barber
