Make somebody's WISH come true!
One of the joys of having lots of spare time now is 'helping others!' Since I left radio nearly five years ago (wow - really?) I've had the pleasure of working on some tremendous projects in the City of Edmonton. Included in those was three National coast to coast Radiothons for Astral Media...

Living - learning - growing - experiencing! Bring it on 2013....

Random thoughts on a rainy day....
