This is my first day of 30 to Pay It Forward or as I shall call if from now on PIF.  Although this is not a new idea it was a bit of a challenge from my friend Stacey.  She facebooked that she was going to do PIF for one month and if anyone wanted to join her she would like that.  I think it's a great idea.  The first good thing that came out of it is that I found my 'blog' site that I had setup about 7 years ago but only used a couple of times and then forgot about it.  It took some doing but I found it!
We have been in Orlando Florida for the past week - a little chilly - but nothing like the -20 degrees they are having at home.
So now for PIF on my first day.  What I realized quickly when you are doing this is that you start thinking "how can I PIF" today.  You are constantly looking for ways to be 'nice'.  Now, I like to think that I'm generally a nice person - but there is always room for improvement.
We went into a drugstore and I noticed the woman's name tag that was checking us out.  I asked her how she pronounced it....Mereah...she said "You know Mariah Carey"..."yes"..."Just like that" she said, "without the money".  I told her that it was very pretty and she wished me a good day (genuinely) and off I went.
We came back to our resort where we have to use our room key to get into the parking lot.  The person in front of me was taking a very long time.  I jumped out of my car and said "do you need a key" "yes", he said somewhat frantically "I can't find mine" "no problem".  Now I may have sat there getting very impatient but in my new PIF mindset that didn't happen.  Richard said that he probably isn't staying here and I just gave him access to all the rooms!  Oh ye of little faith.
So that is my first day and it's only 3:45 p.m.  Thanks Stacey for the challenge.  It will be  fun.

Here we go again....

Day 6 and still no sun. It is hard to keep telling people that October is a beautiful month in Canada! It has only been cloud and rain!

Sailing as a Seniour

The time was when 'cruising' had a whole different meaning. If you were a pre-pubiscent male you would/could 'cruise for chicks'! A popular sport. I remember sitting on the porch of Sandy's in Port Hope while the 'guy's cruised up and down the street, honking, waving and making two young girls feel pretty darn good.
