Mateo Granados: Fresh, Local, Fabulous
I hear about Mateo Granados from a few people before I actually get to talk to him myself. David and Ondine mention him when they find out I’m looking for interesting perspectives. And I crosscheck the reference with Julie, my winemaker-foodie friend. She nods her head. Yes. Definitely. And when I’m talking to Evie at …
A good long run
I’ve decided I’m a trail runner. A few weeks ago, my friend Mitch ran the Skyline to the Sea ultra marathon. He blogged about it, a few of his fellow runners blogged about it, and I decided to keep me challenged and interested, I would start running trails. Last week, I investigated some trails out …

Sarah Palin running for VP? Come on. Does this remind anybody in Canada about Kim Campbell? Remember Brian Mulroney running not only the country but also the Conservative party into the ground? Campbell won the party leadership, but party lost the entire election (two seats in Parliament that election). When was that??? 1993? It’s not …
