Newspapers and marathons and news....

We didn't get our newspaper yesterday but wasn't surprising since pretty much the whole city is shut down by the BMO Marathon.   On the positive side,  we heard nothing...no cow bells,  brass bands,  fog horns, whoo hoo.  Now,  I say "whoo hoo" to that!

Jim went to his lawn bowling clinic yesterday morning and really enjoyed it and met some neat people.  One person has a place in Sunrise Villas in Palm Springs.  This is quite a coincidence since it's very close to us and that's where Nicki and Stan stayed this year and have booked for next year.  I'm joining as a social member and look forward to the Friday night bar-b-q's.  Maureen has joined as well.  I find the actual lawn bowling gets my sciatica going so will just be an observer.

Good news about the French election....the world hasn't gone completely crazy after all!

And it was a nice morning surprise to read a story about Richard's new workplace...Mobify.  The story appeared in The Sun today but appeared about a week ago in the Financial Post so that is where the link is from.
