Friday 4 May 2012

Lose a penny? Bring back the four dollar bill!

Well hello my friends. What a lovely Friday we have here. It looks like spring may have finally won and those darling buds of May will shoo away those April showers.

I feel we might need to trot a different trail this weekend, so lets take a trip north to Huntington Hills and another trot on the lovely Nose Hill. There is a ball hockey tourney at the arena so they will be open for our pre-race prep...See you there at 8 am. The arena is located at 78th Ave and Centre Street North.

Stephen Colbert had a pretty funny segment on Canadian currency during one of his recent episodes.  The attached video is worth the 3 minutes – I hope you enjoy it!

I know many of our crew are big dog fans. I saw this story and thought it was a great example of why we all train together. Some of us are blind to the challenge and the rest of us just lead the group along, or something like that. Pull out your kleenex.

As a fundraiser I have the opportunity to see the good in many. It is always inspirational to see how people are motivated when they have the opportunity to give. this aritcle was a beautiful way to show how little opportunities in life can offer great return. Of course we have to put our minds to it!

TED talk, “How to Buy Happiness” by Michael Norton from Harvard Business School

I’ve been following this fascinating research for a while; this talk is a great overview of some of the most significant (and, to some, surprising) results.
