Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month
We can't really walk in another person's purple shoes until we've tried them on ourselves. Although, some shoes we'd rather not try on, ever. November is pancreatic cancer awareness month. Unfortunately, there is no cure for pancreatic cancer and it isn't very understood or recognized. If you're like me, who up ...
Oprah Talks Happy Denmark
Oprah Winfrey will be discussing the Danes and their secret to happiness on her Wednesday show. She was in Copenhagen not too long ago trying to secure Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics. At the same time, she thought she'd kill two birds with one stone by interviewing some Danes and finding out what their secret to happiness is. The theory that Danes are the happiest folk-fare in the world ...
Psst..Viggo, Theatre & Food Alert!
I know these blogs are getting to be way too wordy these days, not to mention way off track. It's like reading a dating profile, where the candidate types in reams of text, and half way through it you're saying, " I can't read anymore of this babble. This person is much too chatty for my taste!"
I've vowed to shorten them up, and besides that I'm actively involved in the ...
Backstreet Boys Back in Copenhagen
There's a love affair going on between the truckster and myself once again, for now, as it is all fixed up and running like a dream. It wasn't the tranny that gave out on me, thank goodness, but rather a minor problem known as a broken cap, rotor or something like that..
Needless to say, it isn't any secret that I'm not well versed, nor do I care that much about ...
Don't Stop Believin' or Else..
Well, I guess Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey, who were in Copenhagen last week, have left the building. Apparently, Oprah had some positive things to say about Denmark. She mentioned that she admired the strength and independence of the Danish women, and felt Danes were mostly content because they live under an economical system, where everyone felt ...
Who'd Believe it Anyhow?
Throughout my life I've had my fair share of run-ins with average Joes, almost famous people, wannabes and full blown celebrities. Some of the experiences were good, some bad and some downright ugly. Don't worry this little story includes none of the latter, so no need to call your lawyer.
Let's go back 10 years ago - boy time flies. I was celebrating a milestone birthday, so a gal pal and ...
Socialism brings Squeals and Smiles
Hey, I just read an article out of Forbe's magazine naming the world's best paid cities. No surprise is that Switzerland tops the list with an average net pay of $20.40 U.S. Dollars an hour, after taxes. Also on the list is Copenhagen, which offers workers a gross average wage of $32.80 per hour. Although, 46% ends up on the cutting room floor in the form of taxes, they are used ...
Where Have the Manners Gone?
What an exciting week it was. Fun times are all around if you open yourself up to them, and I have decided to make this summer vacationing in Ontario fun, by heading out on a series of mini-excursions, to here, there and everywhere. Last week, I started this little adventure streak by taking the train up to Toronto to watch the Toronto Blue Jays play baseball against the California Angels. They didn't ...
