With the warm weather, my windows are open, and I can hear a young man learning the violin across the alley every day. He's been progressing at an incredible rate! I've always loved hearing my neighbours practice. It makes the neighbourhood feel alive.

I'm currently taking a six week course on financial governance, through Governance Solutions. We are analyzing the financials for various organizations. Last week was We Charity. This week is Laurentian. I HIGHLY recommend this for folks involved in board work. It has been top notch.
