JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS!

February 26, 2012

Have you ever had one of those days where things seem to go wrong all day long?  You step out of the shower, stub your toe on the door, slip on the bath mat and crack your knee on floor...

THE ART OF LIVING

December 11, 2011

 
This fall writer Sprout (me) took a painting class in the Art Gallery of Ontario. The class was small and was held once a week every Thursday evening.  The best thing about taking an art class in a gallery is...

PARTY LIKE IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY

November 27, 2011

 

Let's face it as one gets older the birthday celebration gets a bit old. It's not that you don't look forward to celebrating - it's just that you realize being 34 is not that different from being 33.  But do you remember when you were a kid and turning 5 to your 4 year old self was like unlocking a secret combination...

RISING UP...BACK ON THE TRAIL

October 16, 2011

 

One of our Sprouts is a serious runner - running a full 42K marathon in the spring and running at least 1 hour each morning. It seems he's found that elusive runner's high (the Sprout penning this entry is looking for said high but apparently you actually have to run - not jog/walk/walk/complain/walk/fake a muscle pull)....

ALL FOR FALL!

October 03, 2011

 

Taking an informal survey at the office it seems that fall is the favourite time of year (summer was out voted 2 Sprouts to 1 Sprout).  Fall in Toronto is lovely.  The leaves show off taking a long extended bow before the blustery show of winter takes center stage...

THE NEW YORK CHRONICALS - PART III

August 21, 2011

 

Rarely do we get the chance to go to an art gallery when we are exhibiting at tradeshows.  Often the gallery closes soon after our show lets out.  Luckily this time in NYC we finished setting up early and were able to spend all afternoon in the MOMA...
