Weekly Wrap Up (Apr. 19 - Apr. 26)

Well, you're getting a lot of me these next few weeks! I had a few features this week, I'm doing the Wrap Ups for a bit, and next week I'm doing a few more blogs too. Pay attention, there's a special event announcement coming this week. Speaking of special, did you catch the return of this week's featured Signature Author? 📣🎊Check out those posts below.  We also need to thank @Valkyrie for ALL her hard work on the Poetry Anthology. She's the one who takes charge on those events, managing ev

Howdy ho   Just wanted to remind you that there is only 76 days to the Calgary Stampede  So if you are coming, let me know and we can meet up  For @Valkyrie, she might be coming up for the Spruce Meadows North American at the same time  . Or you coming up for the Masters in Sept? You could do that and Pride all on the labour day long weekend.  So you know, up in the frigid climates of Calgary, Thursday we got another foot of heavy wet snow that melted over the past 2 days, we are start

Now that the first week of the Poetry Anthology is out, are you a poet and didn't know it  ?    After I do this, I shall retire to the bedoire and check out some poetry  Even though I don't read a lot, I do like to dabble my reading into the Poets, seasoned and new here at GA. There was something that I wanted to discuss and you are free to pick any of the four. With the Artemis trip to go around the moon now over and they splashed down in the Pacific off of San Diego, I want to k

Psst, turn your speakers down I couldn't help to notice @Bill W status was changed to 'Barefoot' and I pictured him dancing to this song in the warm weather. Now that I got that ear worm in your head , let's move on   I'm not sure how many people have the big 3 celebrations with family, or if it just 2, or maybe only 1, but up here in Canada, it isn't necessarily based on religion, as commercialism has won out, but do you do anything for Easter? Up here, it is usua

I am exhausted   If anyone has worked with software for the entire workplace, I'm sure all I need to say is SAP upgrade, and you will know my pain. My company had 5 different buckets or regions and we are working towards 1. This means teams and teams of people all verifying data, processes and other such stuff region by region until their live date. Me included nationally. I start early, leave late and even today I woke up at stupid 5 AM when I didn't have work today. Tomorrow I do, so

Weekly Wrap Up (Mar. 15 - Mar. 21)

I was about to write a blog about how we are only halfway through the month but then realized that we only have a few days left 😮 In the past day I've had April showers in March bringing May flowers, and March snowstorms killing any May flowers that popped earlier than April. Wait, did I F that up? Well yes I did. I cannot judge what month we are in anymore by the weather outside.  I know I once read that Medellin, Columbia has an average temp of 22 C/72 F year round. I could live with that

It appears to be that time of year 😮  This is the week that we find out who pretends to have a bit of Irish in them, and those that have a bit of Irish in them and those that are Irish ☘️Git your minds out of the gutters I'm past the age of going out and getting inebriated on alcoholic drinks that are green or really cheap draft beer that has been coloured green  The only thing I do is wear something green in order to ensure no one pinches me. I'm also past the age where I wear my fav

I'd say Beware the Ides of March  but I don't know what that means . So I will take a break here and go to Google... ..... ..... ..... How rude, you'd think I'd research this before writing a blog   If you are like me and didn't know, it turns out the Bard used it in the play Julius Caesar. I guess Caesar went to a fortune teller, or I would probably guess that the fortune teller was summoned to appear before Caesar, and foretold of Caesar's impending death. He thought i

Now you all must be wondering, what are you doing up at 5:15 AM in the morning   I have succumbed to the hockey bug and I am awake for in a little under an hour, I will be watching Team USA play Team Canada for the Olympic Gold Medal  in Hockey . Interesting thing, I can head to the bar right now and watch the game if I'm so inclined and have some beers with my closest Canadian fans 🍺 Yes, a lot of provinces in Canada allow for bars to open for Olympic Gold Medal Events.

Well, a belated Happy Valentines day to you all. I love all the readers, contributors, staff here at GA. Will you all be my Valentine (a day late )  We shall move on quickly as I know VD is not a popular topic around here  In more ways than one   Remember last week when I I talked about the lost lotto ticket 😮 Well there was a sizable win out of my city 😮 I was talking to some people at work and they said I should call in to see if they can tell me anything, so I did  Much to my surpri

Hey all   Are we all committed to sit on our couches and watch the winter Olympics from Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo? I'm not sure I am  Now, if I was there and being surrounded by gorgeous Italian men , then we'd be having another discussion . Oh wait, there is another game going on in Santa Clara 😮  I went back to work after a 2-week staycation, and I think I put in an 80 hour work week this week 😮 Only about 900 emails to work through on top of all my other jobs and tasks, I was

Hmmm, so we are 1 down and 11 to go in months of this year. Where did January go!   Groundhog day is a coming, so just in case you haven't seen the movie like 100 times staring Bill Murray, especially over and over again on Groundhog Day, keep your eyes out on your local listings 🙄 A question for my friends to the south, how did you handle your small wisps of winter that we deal with from Nov. to May  I shouldn't laugh, as places like Georgia and Texas among other places are not really

My secret has been revealed 🕺I did say last week that it might be on site or not. Well it turned out that I knew we were going to announce this year's Anthology Themes 🥳So that was my big secret.  Thanks to our Admin Team who collaborated on discussing many different ideas of the past Anthologies, the number, the wording and the hopeful attraction to every one of our Authors and Poets, new, old and maybe ones that might be inspired that we have not met yet .  Consideration was also taken in

Monday is the day they call Blue Monday. If you remember, last week I revealed to all that I was down in the dumps   I really have to give you all the hugest hugs . After watching all the music vids and then watching 3 favourite shows: Ferris Buhler's Day Off, Red White and Royal Blue, and Heated Rivalry (my favourites, don't judge me  ) and going for a longer walk, I was feeling better. I think distracting my mind for about 8 hours and then some exercise seemed to do the trick. I wen

Howdy Ho Good Neighbours! I guess that is why they'd call it the blues.... Interesting, the holidays are over, the bills are coming in, back to work everyday of the week, the days are getting longer but still submerged in darkness for most of the day (in my longitude).  They say the 3rd Monday of January is blue Monday, the saddest day of the year, but I think I've arrived a wee bit earlier .  I just feel blah!  So I need you all to give me something to do to cheer me up

Oh wow! 2026 you say   First off, to Myr and the rest of the GA community: With all the days off last week, if you got them, I didn't know what day it was . I forgot it was Saturday, but I'm going to blame a extra long turkey hangover in not doing the Weekly Wrap Up. Then Myr posted the stories for the week and a gentle reminder/hint, that if anyone (me) wanted to add more, to stay tuned. I tried  I really, really tired .

I know this might be cruel and unusual punishment to you all . It might be personal, it might indirectly upset you  . Hang in there though, I know you can do it. I have faith in you all!!   I

The end is nigh! Soon, we shall put this all behind us   I'm talking about 2025! We are in the final 100 yards of a 400 yard dash. We are in the final 3 minutes of a football game, we are about 150 yards out from the flag on a golf course on a Par 6. We have securely made it into December. Only about 24 days left in 2025 and less if you live like in Australia or Fiji  For some reason I want to go to Fiji. I don't think it is is cheap though . I know the whole March and April lion

I guess that is the advantage of not making New Year's Resolutions, nothing to complete  I guess it is always prudent to have a plan for your future. Hmm I'm sounding like me mom and dad 😮  So did you spend any money on Black Friday if they have it where you are? Any plans to spend on Cyber Monday? Not sure if around you neck of

😮  Ever wake up in the morning and see something and know you have to do something about it? No, I'm not referring to that, guys .  I did that this morning. I opened the fridge and I have to admit it was pretty bare. The thing is when you see your bare fridge, you probably going to notice it needs a really good cleaning! So there I am at 8 this morning with everything fitting onto one shelf, and pulling out the other 3 shelves, the two crispers and meat tray, and all the door pockets.
