Fireworks. How #vancouver does Halloween

  • Posted on November 2, 2012
  • by Gwynne Monahan

Apologies for the lapse in blogging. I’ve been a bit sick lately. Bit out of it as a result. And enough so to have left work early on Halloween to go home and crash. And there is nothing quite like…

Snapped this while walking along Kits Beach in the rain. Apparently the rain has come late to Vancouver this year. Anyway. I’m fairly sure the cloud formation has a name. The mountains and ocean make for interesting cloud formations, as…

Shout Out to @AmericanAirlines

I prefer to do business with those that have an active, responsive social media presence. I spend the majority of my day on social media, and it’s how I connect and communicate. Twitter is my preferred method, but I’m not…

The Weather Gamut

See? Oklahoma is flat. Just. Flat. Straight, with occasional rolling hills, which are hard to make out. Look hard enough and you’ll see rounded tops, but you do have to look hard. Granted, it is beautiful. For about 5 miles…

I’ve spent the weekend in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, for a college friend’s wedding. I’ve been to Bartlesville before, in 2010, for the 4th of July. It had been two years since I got laid off, two years searching for permanent employment…

  • by Gwynne Monahan

Snapped this before the wind and storm came through and blew them all off: It is my favorite tree this time of year. That fire red just bursts each morning, and shines as the day passes. Gradually the leaves fall…

How #chicago Does Pizza

  • Posted on October 13, 2012
  • by Gwynne Monahan

Delicious. There is nothing like Chicago deep dish pizza. It requires a knife and fork to start, and then you cradle the edge in your hands as you finish eating. Delicious. And not found in Vancouver. I had a realization…

You know a position has reached a certain point when a big company hosts a summit. Ragan Communications is a big PR firm that is hosting a Social Media and Community Managers Summit. My boss agreed I should attend so…

  • Posted on October 10, 2012
  • by Gwynne Monahan

Apparently the 11:30am flight is better than 7:30am. No line up for check in, security or Customs. W00T! So over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend I got a chance to watch a Canadian Football League came. Or the Canadian version of…
