What did I do

Have wanted to do the train ride for Winnipeg to Churchill. Not sure best time to see both or to pick one or the other. The research trips might be nice / might be a pain. Need to research.

​

This is a free course, could upgrade if you want the certificate. It is self paced, about 12h, could do 1.5 weeks for a few hours.

The tasting with AM & E .. the attempts with A & S ... the learning about soil & ground

What is that one dish that can be taught in one evening?

I have learned a few. So far the one that most sticks: take a small bottle of pesto; toss chicken, chopped red peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes; bake 425 for ~20 min (until done). Not necessary, but could turn chicken after 15 min to color both sides. Last 5 min add feta &optional sliced black olives

If nothing else, lets see a movie that you would say is your favourite and have a chat about why. If you are doing this one. Create a new row and share the movie or a leave a hint.

​

Muskoka is gentrified cottage life vs Merville/Schultz. Both beautiful but different beauty. Both lend themselves to boating around

​

Painful to get to the top; beautiful view; healing to swim in mystery lake

​

Something to try at a later time; needs care and attention for it to be successful

​

Bite, squeeze fresh lemon or lime into the pocket. Never got a perfect, but got a very good

Laughing hysterically walking out at low tide, realizing we had made it after all the concerns about us making it.

With E, R, N

The beauty of sitting on the rocks, with our charcuterie place. Looking up at the waterfall and following the flow down to the lake. “feels like a holodeck”

​

Delicious foccaccia pizza with AM

Getting into the water and realizing I love lake water. Also, making the melting birthday cake, the 70s songs, the last bday together

With A

The body feel of an amazing musical performance

Morgan, NY Public

Gutenberg bibles at the Morgan. The sidewalk bw the Morgan and NY public with author quotes. The lions.

​

Event with a purpose, ease of the evening. Inhabiting a role always eases

With DT & others at Kits

That moment when realizing how the kite was staying afloat, watching it catch the airwaves like a bird, recalling that wonder from days flying

With TN

Stillness of the water, staring down to the bottom. Balancing fear and pleasure of going solo but not going too far

With DL

The oddity of Shannon’s cottage & this retreat both in Merville, same exit off highway! The openness to driving those roads

With FC

Rushing to the prelim. Catching the heat. Seeing N get into the finals on that 1st race. Ease of reconnection

​

Deciding as a citizen I wanted to get involved. Building the team, winning the bid, delivering the project
