Happy New Year! This is the year I will run my first marathon at 47 years of age and I am so proud that I can do it for World Vision, in Calgary at The Scotiabank Calgary Marathon on June 1st. And I was delighted to be asked to sit as the Honorary Chair for this Golden Anniversary event on June 1st, 2014. It is my hope to motivate more people to not only run, but run for a charity they support. “Go Big or Go Home” is our motto for this journey to the finish line of the Calgary Scotiabank Marathon, but truly I had no idea what “big” meant! It means running and running and running. I know, obvious right? But when Alicia and I conjured up this plan – it seemed pretty do-able, in November, in Ottawa, with no snow. But then back home in Calgary the snow began to fall and it hasn’t stopped since then! And I had given little thought to the difficulties of running on ice, snow and in wind and sleet. It’s just not nice! I did however head to San Diego with my family for 2 weeks at Christmas and that was where I started to get back into running.

Then I returned to Calgary. To the snow, the ice and cold. I spent more time the first week back shovelling our...

Before the last Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, British Columbia, the only curling match I ever had witnessed featured John, Paul, George and Ringo in the Beatles’ movie “Help.” After one of the curling stones was rigged with a bomb — George called it a “fiendish thingy” — and Beatles-movie type hilarity ensued, I don’t recall who won, only that the Beatles sang “Ticket to Ride” or one of those songs from the soundtrack. I think I also might have seen curling on “Wide World of Sports” once, when TV still was shown in black and white. But I was young, and it’s possible I might have mistaken barrel jumping on ice for curling. During the Vancouver Olympics, MSNBC would show curling matches until the wee hours of the morning. Curling is an ancient game played on ice in which two teams of four players compete in sliding large stones toward a bull’s eye in the center of a circle. I call it Canadian bowling READ...
