A recent comment on Twitter from @DrMarcNCharlie inspired this post. They asked what the three top reasons are for entrepreneurs starting their own business. Having read posts by other entrepreneurs I have found my own reasons are very similar to those who have gone on to start their own businesses. Here are my three reasons and a little bit of background. Continue reading “@DrMarcNCharlie – My three reasons for starting my own business”

Colt Harley and Canadian Idol judge Zack Werner hitting the Red Dog
I was a bit excited when I got the latest invite on Facebook from the boys of Colt Harley, one of my favorite local bands. They’re hitting the Legendary Red Dog on Friday, February 5th with none other then Zack Werner from Canadian Idol fame.
The Colt Harley boys always put on an amazing show although I haven’t seen them in a bit. Last time I caught them in concert was at the Red Dog when their bass player Tommy did an accidental nosedive off the stage. They also did an amazing cover of Brooks & Dunn’s Hillbilly Deluxe.

An open letter to all Tim Horton employees
First off let me say that I really do appreciate all you do.

This past Friday my wife Kelly and I went to a Jack & Jill for friends of ours. As it was the day before Halloween they decided to make it a costume affair so my wife dressed as Little Red Riding Hood and I went as the Big Bad Wolf. My costume consisted of a blue and white checkered Grandma’s nightgown with lots of brown fur, a wolf’s mask and a sleeping bonnet. My wife picked up a pair of baby blue ladies slippers with a bow on them to complete the outfit.
We left the Jack & Jill at around 12:30 am and were driving friends to the bar when lights from a following police car lit up. I pulled over thinking he was going to go by me but the officer pulled in behind me and threw the spotlight on. Continue reading “Getting pulled over as the Big Bad Wolf”
Hashtaggers are really ticking me off…
Is it just me or are there more and more people become hashtaggers? What is a hashtagger you ask? It’s a vulgar term that I use for all the Twitter spammers who use excessive #hashtags in an attempt to get people to view their profile page and possibly follow them.
