Life's Bike Ride

The journey of life is like a man riding a bicycle. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. We know that if he stops moving and does not get off he will fall off. William Golding - Author of 'Lord of the Flies'

Twisted Sister

Day 1 in Siem Reap and someone's sprained an ankle already.  Luckily I remembered my emergency first aid from Grade 9 gym class.  Good old R.I.C.E. - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.  Thanks Mr. Trask!  Anyways, now we're at the local clinic to pick up some ankle wraps and pain killers..

Emerald City

Although this building isn't quite so sparkling anymore, "Morakot" means emerald in Thai.  The green/white fade looks crisp.  Gonna have to use that.

The Economic Naturalist

Ever wonder why there's a light in your fridge but not in your freezer?  Or why DVDs are region specific but CDs are not?  Robert H. Frank uses basic economic principles to explain many of these quirky conundrums. You would never imagine that economics has so much influence on everything around us.. until you read this book.
