I'm just starting JPod by Coupland (appropriate for my last name) so Gum Thief will have to wait, but it's now on my list. Thanks.

Classic...if you haven't read the Gum Thief by Copeland it is worth picking up. I will write another post/book review for the other books I read on the trip. Confessions of an economic hitman is a scary one...

Adventure in Maui We just got back from a 12 day family vacation in Maui. To be honest I wish I was still there in my shorts. We booked the flights and hotel 3 or 4 days before leaving. I am renowned to not book until the last minute to see what sort of a mood we are all in and what feels exciting. A great holiday to me is a display of freedom and one that is not dependent on other people's schedule or restrictions. My poor family lives on the edge of their seat wondering what comes next. Needless to say we got exactly what we wanted at a decent price. I did try with 3 Toronto travel agents to get something that would suit and none of them were able to help or in the least nit helpful. I gave the same criteria to all 3 agents: A) anywhere in the world B) warm/hot C) leave 15-27th for up to 2 weeks D) an adjoining room for the kids E) no budget restriction The first agent told me he didn't do any last minute booking.

Indoor Playground Has Moved But where we do not know... 18 months after leasing the 5th floor at 364 Richmond St W we have decided to close this Indoor Playground location and work on establishing it somewhere else. The reason for the move is reasonably simple. Our landlords (Allied Properties) hit us with a 40% increase in rent and refused to acknowledge our request to move some cabinets to make the place wheelchair accessible. We felt held over a barrel but I was trained to never negotiate with terrorists...

Sonya Meloff from Sales Talent Agency will be taking over the lease and setting up shop. She would be interested in some folks co-working so if you are interested please contact her directly (read more on STA below). We have learned a lot in the last 18 months about co-working and managing a shared workspace. We have set up some great structures behind the scenes that will make us stronger when we re-emerge. It is our hope that someone in the community comes forward with a passion to lead...
