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

I really cannot believe that I have not written a post in so long. There is a partial post that I have been sitting on for months, waiting for me to finish it but it has not quite happened yet. Why was I not writing? I asked myself that on a fairly regular basis and I finally … More Time Flies, Things Change and Life Rolls Along
Five signs that I’m getting older…and my “glass-is-half-full” take on it… 1. Sign that I’m getting older: It was a one time incident but Armando will not let me live it down…I called it, “The Twitter”. The “glass-is-half-full” take on it: I actually do know what Twitter is and in fact, use it. So I … More 5 Signs that I’m Getting Older
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!

Today, it happened again. Last year, my picture was picked up from … More Annual Bear Sighting in Port Moody
The sun is actually out in Port Moody today. A rare occasion this time of year so Armando and I headed out to enjoy a walk on this beautiful fall day around Burrard Inlet. Along Inlet Trail, we often see ducks, seagulls, Blue Herons, slugs (eww!) and other regulars. The last few weeks, we saw … More Salmon, Swans and Navigation in Port Moody
Armando left this morning for a two-day business trip. He is the sweetest of husbands and left me these gifts to enjoy around the house: Armando is infamous for leaving papers around the house. Receipts from his business trips live in our home wherever they may fall, be it on the kitchen table, the living … More Winning the Game of…Marriage?
I felt like I was in a movie. A zombie movie. Well, with more lively zombies. We got off the bus. 9:30pm. Downtown Vancouver. As we started walking towards Davie Street the crowd around us steadily increased with each intersection crossed. And as we turned right on Davie, we flowed into the stream of people … More Crazy Crowds at the Celebration of Lights 2012
So everything happens in three’s. This week I have been questioning where we live. We chose an urban area in Port Moody, thinking we can live the city life outside of Vancouver. But, our urban area is close to the beautiful British Columbia wilderness so when we saw three bears a block from our home … More Port Moody’s Investigative Couch Reporter
