MBA
So I not only finished my MBA but I also passed... woohoo! I can now put MBA after my name. So with all my experience, 5 years of study and hardwork... I write a blog... what? I do other stuff as well... dishes, and drink coffee (yes Juda, I will pay... maybe, when I make some money).
My lovely wife Susan is the literature graduate, me I am the business guy (yes Susan, it is still business even if I don't make money... or even if I lose it... have you guys seen the Edge...?)

| Good on ya mate. |
Funny how life is, she doesn't write and I don't make money... But I am confident, one day I won't have to make any money, one day money will be irrelevant, one day I will be old and senile and will yell at people and tell them their coffee is cold... Cos no-one gets out alive - whatever path we take, we all have the same destination - so choose a good path, oh, and a good partner.
But if you don't choose a good partner, have fun making sure their lives are miserable... only joking, but that does lead me back to Jo and Brad... what? You know, three (or four) posts ago.
Jo & Brad are the happiest people I have ever met, they are always smiling, always chatty, always happy to see you (Paul...) But note, they are single - not married, no boyfriend/girlfriend, no significant other, unless you count Lucy - Jo's dog, and er... Brad's truck...
Susan asked me "could I always be that jolly?"
"No." I laughed - "I'm married." she didn't laugh. But she is Canadian. Actually the Canadian sense of humour is similar to the English one, except not funny.... I got that 'look' when I explained this to her... good job we've already had a 'cuddle' this year... G rated.
Panhandling
You have seen them in any major urban area, city centre - Vancouver, Toronto, London even Kelowna. Big White does not have any panhandlers... All of these places are big and successful and popular - now there is a movement to evolve Big White into a year round resort, to fill the 17,000 or so empty beds, to become its' own municipality, to grow and 'be all it can be'.
What does Big White not have? What is the difference between Big White and other popular places? I was at Silver Star yesterday, man what a contrast, they have tons of mountain biking trails, lifts open for hiking, all the stores in the village were open, coffee shop, bars, there is a wine festival coming, art gallery open, a wedding going on - it was busy busy busy!
Big White is behind the ball here, and we need to catch up, we need to take the next step... we need to be the leader this time - we need to be first with our very own resident panhandler!
Nominations to Michael J, please.
People at Big White.
Have you seen all these people around? Man it is great, we have renters in the Raven, in the Timbers, in Trailside, in Crescendo... I believe a big part of all these people really is the Globe - now that they are established and people in Kelowna know it is open... I think it makes a big difference. Hats of to Jude, oh and that other guy - Debbie Harry.
Mission Idiotpossible.
Yes, I got stuck on the cliff, actually it was caught on film-
Obviously I am in disguise, it is a wig. And it is the abbreviated version if you are wondering.
The mountain is my Muse.
It is really - I hike up there (or get stuck on the cliff, whatever) and I think of crap things to blog about - actually people ask me all the time 'Why do I blog?" maybe next time I will answer that one, along with the other popular question "will you please stop?"

Actually, I think we may be in for a treat next week, we may have a celebrity writer contributing... da da daaaa!. I told him any article had to be up to scratch... which is marginally above crap. Once he gets the level right (low enough) we may see something.
England
I am off to England again - London this time, apparently the city cannot survive without my input - must be the education. I was supposed to go today, but after the recent change, it changed... and again... so now I am off on Saturday... probably...
Okay that is it for my random musings this time.
