I’m sure people who visit Switzerland all comment on the quality of the food. I’ve done my best to try a few local favourites, to expand my dining horizons while we spend a week in Bern. To start the day, the coffee is outstanding. People who don’t like strong coffee may not be too... Continue Reading →
Another great aspect of travel is learning about other cultures and meeting new people. While we have not been out in the city too much yet, I have been trying to learn new things about Bern, the area and its people. I learned from one of the volunteers that Bern, the fourth most populous city... Continue Reading →
When I’m traveling, I find that the best way to get to know a city is to walk it. And I love to walk. So this morning I struck out in Berne (or Bern) while Ron did preparations with his team. I decided to follow the path we went our first night, when we walked... Continue Reading →
Have you ever experienced bad customer service, or dealt with someone who is so miserable that you feel like telling them to find a new job? We have all experienced those situations.

As mentioned in my last post, a love of walking has been re-awakened in me these last few weeks. Daily walks, exploring the area around us, has become a wonderful habit. I have always enjoyed going for a walk. When we used to have a dog, a daily walk - sometimes two - was a necessity.... Continue Reading →
There are a lot of amazing ways to get yourself into shape. My recent experience with boxing certainly did the trick, as did a previous round of marathon running. I love swimming; lots of people enjoy cycling. There are many types of classes at an overwhelming variety of gyms. There are also many theories and... Continue Reading →
One doesn’t expect deep thoughts from the slogan for a beach chair. But yesterday the slogan on my newly purchased chair struck me as something to actually think seriously about: “Make life one long weekend.” What can we learn from a long weekend that can help us when life is its most stressful? A decision made... Continue Reading →
So, you’re probably wondering, how the heck did the boxing go? “We heard about the boxing, you wrote about the boxing, but you never told us the outcome of the boxing?” OK maybe it hasn’t been keeping you up at night, but maybe you’re curious, and I haven’t had much time to write. That’s changed.... Continue Reading →
