The Globe & Mail on-line version December 8, 2014 headline credited to Canadian Press stated “A sandwich, a snafu and a snake: How things went wrong at a Saskatoon Tim Hortons”
“Two men are facing mischief charges after a sandwich order gone wrong led to a snake-throwing confrontation at a Tim Hortons restaurant in Saskatoon.”
The CBC Online news headline
for December 8, 2014 reported “Penticton doctor ‘savagely assaulted’ by psychiatric patient.”
“The doctor is recovering in Kelowna Hospital with severe facial injuries, a broken jaw and other fractures, according to police.”
My empathy and best wishes for a quick recovery go out to the psychiatrist as he is known to me as is the location of the assault. Nobody should be injured in the act of performing their duties.
Have you made your New Year’s Revolution yet? No, that wasn’t a typo, I meant to say revolution rather than resolution.
Making yearly resolutions are a time-honoured tradition where you resolve to make an improvement in your life or to start a healthy practice and/or discontinue an unhealthy one. One’s resolve often tends to weaken as time passes or it seems to in my case.

According to Global News BC, today January 19th is the most depressing day of the year. Researchers have declared that the third Monday of January is an annual downer for many.

This week I would like to do a shout out to Jayne Williams-Aleck & Joan Scott of the Urban Older Worker Job Search Program at Kelowna Community Resources for inviting me last week to speak to their class participants on the topic of Power Networking for Job Seekers.
This is the fourth or fifth occasion I have done so.
No, I’m not referring to Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield & his company of dwarves in their latest version of their epic journey to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and the family treasures stolen by Smaug, a dragon with a penchant for collecting treasures.
CBC Dragon’s Den, arguably also a collection of dragons with a penchant for collecting treasures, is on the road again with their auditions, looking for local entrepreneurs to pitch and entice a dragon to share their hard-earned treasures with them.
The local auditions [KELOWNA] will be held on Wednesday March 5th at the Kelowna Campus of Okanagan College in their Centre for Learning (E Building) on KLO Road.
