with work piling up, the blog has been on hold for a few days. a few things to look forward to: blog entries on the federal liberal party’s marketing strategies, and pre-season nhl predections for the canadian teams. there should be two new published articles in the near future: winter commuting and winter camping with […]
i was at the shelter valley folk festival on the weekend. i love shelter valley. truly. deeply. it is a laid back affair that attracts people of all ages, with many folks treating it as a family outing — mine included. one of the remarkable things about shelter valley is the number of volunteers — […]
