Slow Down Christmas
I wish everyone would just slow down at Christmas
I hope we get a snow down at Christmas
Cause I don’t like when it’s all green
Isn’t the same without that white street scene
Reds and golds
Colours represent the story told
And don’t forget the meaning
Call it holidays, that’s demeaning
Hear that from you, I’m intervening
I’ve been dreaming of my...

Porter Air Promotion Code Love
Just booked my annual post Christmas flight to Montréal with Porter Air. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love Porter. So in the true spirit of the season, I thought I’d share a little VIP Promotion Code love. Use the promo code CHI20, book by Dec 19, 2008, travel by Mar 22, 2009 and get a 20% Discount on selected flights. Thank you and you’re welcome.

ParkingTickets.TO - For $5.65 they’ll fight your ticket for you. How it works: Once or twice a week they take all the infraction number/license plate combos down to Metro Hall and file them.

$1600 in 16 Days - Donate to The Salvation Army...
I work for The Salvation Army. They do good work. For every dollar they raise 89 cents goes to those who might otherwise remain invisible in society. There’s 16 Days till Christmas and I want to raise $1600.
On average I get about 200 visitors a day to this little website. If each of you donated $8, we’d hit the $1600 dollar mark.
So in review…
200 Visitors over the next 16...

Carts of Darkness. From the site - “In the picture-postcard community of North Vancouver, filmmaker Murray Siple follows men who have turned bottle-picking, their primary source of income, into the extreme sport of shopping cart racing.” via Kottke.org
