I Got Mail

Thanks Universal, for the It’s Complicated DVD!

And Dean, congratulations on becoming a published author!  Your books look classy, nice touch on making your name in gold.  

From Dean’s stuff I learned about Irving Layton, on of Canada’s biggest poets, nominated twice for the Nobel Prize for Literature, was awarded my beloved Order of Canada (here’s when I saw one IRL), and Dean’s buddy.  

Check out Dean’s poetry and learn more about him here.

And if ever you’d like to send me stuff please do I LOVE getting mail.  Here’s my address.

Big Hockey Names and the Stanley Cup

Scotiabank Hockey Club had an event this morning where I met some legends and see the cup, lucky eh?  Look how cute they are:

Left to right: Mark Napier, Doug Gilmour, Gordie Howe and Johnny Bower.  

Me: Hi Gordie!
Him: Oh look over there (hugs me)
Me: Can’t believe I fell for that.
Us: [chuckling]
Me: Hey I wanted to tell you I think your peripheral vision is so cool
Him: Oh it’s not, it’s just because my head is narrow. 

Of course you paw the cup.

It was the same group that put on the event I attended last year, “Skate with the Greats at Maple Leaf Gardens” and my same friend invited me along, she works for the bank, that’s how I ended up here, thanks lady and thanks Scotia.

Here’s my episode, “Exploring Hockey Legends”, which was my Xmas gift to Canada.

Everything Summed Up In 0:11

Made this while making my other project videos.  It’s more for those who’ve never met me, and will eventually be at the top of my re-vamped ‘About Me’ page.

The Explorers Club is a prestigious global organization dedicated to advancing research and exploration, whose past members include Presidents, astronauts and Everest summiteers, they’ve been at it for 100+ years and could maybe use a blog girl.

From their founding document, 1905:

– to further general exploration, to spread knowledge of the same;

– to acquire and maintain a library of exploration;

– and to encourage explorers in their work by “evincing interest and sympathy, and especially by bringing them in personal contact and binding them in the bonds of good fellowship
