A Hiking We Will Go Or Should That Be I Will Go

March 7th, 2010

Looking at my previous post which was quite awhile ago when the Olympic Torch passed through our local community. It actually started in Victoria, BC and was quite impressive, then traveled across the country and to parts far north.
People became quite emotional about it and the Olympic Games in Vancouver and Whistler, BC turned [...]

Create The Life You Want, Now!

July 6th, 2009

Some time ago, I posted 10 Minutes To Creating Whatever You Want In Life. That is a simple step by step way to do it and I had success with doing this daily.  It really works.
Some will say that it is too simple. Well simplicity is the key as is repetition, over and over again [...]

Happy Canada Day July 1, 2009

July 1st, 2009

It is a beautiful day here in Victoria, BC Canada.  Canada is officially 142 years young today.
Lots of celebrations going on all across the nation.  Wishing all the Canucks a Happy Canada Day.
Celebration brings up the subject of music for me. Music transcends the mundane and uplifts us.   Canada has a history of [...]

My Friend

June 28th, 2009

On a walk to from the Inner Harbour around the winding pathway following the seacoast to the Seawall I came upon an interesting tree.  From some perhaps it would evoke a memory of Twisted Sister, but not for me.
Instead it reminded me of a friend from days past.  Quite a few days past.  It [...]

A Day Of Discovery

June 19th, 2009

At the end of May I went looking for something and could not find what I was looking for.  Actually I was a day late but did not realize it until later.  But do not tell anyone!  Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.   Hey, it happens.
So instead of heading back home I decided to explore a bit and came across [...]

Dance Me To The End Of Love, For The Ladies

June 15th, 2009

There are likely a few ladies out there who have danced to the “end of love” with Leonard Cohen.  Like Willy Nelson and Julio Iglesias in sentimentality at least with their song To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before, Cohen has had his share of ladies.  But I am not here to talk about Willy [...]

Water, The Great Mystery of Life

June 5th, 2009

I received an email from Scott last night in which contained a link to a video about water.  The video was called Water, The Great Mystery.  Indeed it is, I added the life part because without it life simply would not exist.
The video was compared with the movie What The Bleep Do We Know, [...]

Hiking Up Mt Doug from Cordova Bay Under Attack!

May 3rd, 2009

Well I suppose it is time to go green and provide a bit scenery from the other half of the excursion I made to Cordova Bay then hiking up the back side of Mt Douglas aka Mt Doug.
First though I am going to give an award to a fellow friend and blogger who writes [...]

Why Are Some People More Successful Than Others?

February 22nd, 2009

I was pondering discussing personal relationships but will perhaps save that for another lifetime.  Perhaps that is where the golden age will be.  I tend to be somewhat naive, sometimes putting too much faith or trust in someone,  or I am unaware at the best of times.  Perhaps just being plain stupid when it comes [...]

Beautiful Snow Covered Mountain View From Mt. Tolmie Victoria, BC

February 20th, 2009

I did a short hike up Mt. Tolmie this morning and took along my fujifilm camera to see what I could see and photograph from the top.
It is taken on a beautiful sunny day in Victoria, BC. Yes, that is a snow covered mountain to the east and the view from up there is [...]
