Seems ‘Zellers’ retails put a lot of stuff on sale. What dollar volume are they ‘targeting‘ to achieve during these sales? 
As a distinguished ‘bookworm’, I am always getting attracted to shelves full of any kind of printed material. So, I couldn’t pass by this pile either, and indulged myself into a pleasure of casually going through it. Read the rest of this entry »
All Russia’s media outlets give a lot of coverage on current events in Japan. Well, there’s a number of reasons why Russia should be in a ‘gingerly watching mood’. Russia’s Far East is located in the immediate, neighborhood proximity to Japan Islands Archipelago. Read the rest of this entry »
All 
in the world were hit lately by the earthquake and tsunami waves and their aftershocks. I’m watching the TSX graph, and thinking to myself “what a duck lame investor I am being lately.” Read the rest of this entry »
Going to a lawyer. Have you ever talked to a lawyer? Bets are, you have. Lawyers are following up on pretty much of all significant (as well as insignificant.. at the most ‘inconvenient’ times for you) aspects of LIFE of a contemporary man (man/woman, ‘he/she’, - surely, for the sake of equality). I meant, ‘human being’, of course, of ‘neutral gender’. I did really mean it! And here’s my ‘disclaimer’
What a beautiful Clock!
Chicago.
I reflected back to a few days we spent in Chicago in 2007. This is a city you will probably want to visit again. A lot of history, crude, very American history. Mafia.. As the most raw, cruel force that used to prominently influence a process of shaping social and political institutions in the U.S.A. Read the rest of this entry »
The sentence was cut off.. It was too long, it didn’t fit well into a line for the post name.
However, I’m going to finish it later.
Just read this article in ‘NATIONAL POST’, plz..
Mr. Skidmore and Hideki Toya from Nagoya City University in Japan have examined data for 151 countries over the period 1960-2003 and found that countries with higher levels of income, education and financial development suffer fewer losses from a natural disaster. Other researchers have reached similar conclusions. Read the rest of this entry »
“Apply some power of ‘positive thinking!’“, I beseech myself. Damn. Doesn’t work. Too foreign a concept. We’ll talk about it later.
Never used that word before (beseech). Doubt if I ever needed to. Just show off, ‘playing words’. Read the rest of this entry »
Sullen, moronic, here comes the morning.
3:15 a.m. in Winnipeg. Where is my body? 2:15 Calgary time.
Luckily, two weeks spent in Dominican pushed your body clock 3 hours ahead, and it helps. And a pack of ‘Wolfgang Puck ‘, brewed in coffee machine slowly began to work.. Don’t forget your stuff in the room. Oh, holly, it may happen just like that.
Actually, ‘Wolfgang Puck’ yaks. Looking forward to having a cup of ‘Tim Hortons’ at the airport. Coveting the dream to win a big prize through their ‘Roll the Rim!’ Affair.
Gotta get going,
Good Morning, World,

That’s it. The time has come.
Back to the grassroots of blogging.(Oh, My, - Google helps a lot, it’s like a ‘powerhouse or collective consciousness‘: so, I goggled ‘grassroots’. Turned out, Wikipedia has an entry. I cherry-picked a passage:
A grassroots movement (often referenced in the context of a political movement) is one driven by the politics of a community. The term implies that the creation of the movement and the group supporting it are natural and spontaneous, highlighting the differences between this and a movement that is orchestrated by traditional power structures.
‘Natural and spontaneous’.. That’s it. Sounds familiar, ring the bell. That’s about me. The time has come. For blogging. Blabbing. Yapping.
And then, a word came to my mind. As if from the ‘twilight zone’ It was ‘Squirting’. Believe me, I didn’t remember at once what it does mean. Again, you’ve got a solution tool, right at your fingertips: just “Google It!” Which I did.
O-oh.. No.. No good. I wouldn’t recommend you to do this.
But sincerely, English is not my ‘native tongue’. Or, ‘Mother tongue’, as they call it sometimes. My mother wouldn’t have liked what kind of stuff I allow myself to poke my nose in. But it’s not her fault. The word came, anyway, and I needed to get an exact meaning of it.
I will resume.. No, I will start a genuine blogging on this web-site. Its is not though that it will be done from the scratch. There’s some ‘legacy’ already accumulated. But the concept will be totally overhauled.
A few things that happened recently in my life prompted me to reshuffle my whole ‘Internet-existence’. The latest one was our trip to Dominican Republic. It was like a ‘last straw’, actually.
It was so different from all the travel adventures that we had before. In many aspects. Just for starters, for the first time in our life we went down to ANOTHER COUNTRY to visit our children. (See: that’s Us, driving in a cab to a rented ‘cabana’. With all the stuff we brought for them.)
OK, Right now it’s time to go to bed.
Tomorrow it will be continued..
(Tomorrow I fly to Tampa Bay in Florida)
Cheers.
