Episode 17: Moving up.

This summer, I have been tossed out of a cannon and faced with some amazing personal and professional successes. I got to go to the Just For Laughs festival in both Toronto and Montreal. While there, I loved, lived and competed in the Homegrown Comedy Competition, which I was lucky enough to win. But this was not the moment I will tell my grandchildren about.

This past weekend, the Cowgirls crewed at an international sailing regatta based in Kingston, ON – known as CORK. We’d never been in a race before, and yet miraculously we were scheduled to appear on two different J105’s named Thunderstruck and Sonic Boom.

EPISODE 15: Smartphones.

How did I spend today? Was I basking in the sun’s glory, sipping a frosty beer and speaking to my dear friends about leather bound books written by the oldest men with the longest and whitest beards?
