Large gap in posts – sorry about that!  I came down with a very nasty cold bug…..much better now though.

I couldn’t help myself – I watched the Sens first hockey game yesterday afternoon.  They got off to a rocky start, but thanks to good goal-tending, we won our first game!!!  I’m still angry – mostly at the players – for the loss of half of the season so I probably won’t spend my money at the arena this year.

Much of what is still spinning around in the news is “old news” in my rants or in my raves – nothing has changed when it comes to “garbage” or “healthcare” or “Quebec” or “bilingualism”  or “unions” but now we have “Idle no More”.

Idle no More – because they are sitting on railway tracks or on Parliament Hill!!!  How much of my tax dollars has gone to first nations people?  What have they done – or are they doing – to help themselves?  They get my money and don’t feel a need to account for how they spent it???  There is something very wrong with this picture.  This one will get ugly before it gets any better.

Man – another thing – our long awaited trip with Collette Vacations to Provence, Monaco and Tuscay in May got cancelled – not enough people signed up.  Back to the drawing board.  We may have found something similar with SeniorTours – more research needed before making any decisions.

The snow just stopped and the sun has come out.  All is well (for now).
