After hearing a couple of friends give rave reviews, I’ve booked tickets to go see the reputedly brilliant Cirque Eloize this weekend with a best pal visiting from New York! I’m so excited. It’s at the newly renovated Sony Centre For The Performing Arts only until October 9th! This Quebec based contemporary circus…

This is a realtor and his clients’ nightmare. As is typical for most realtors representing properties for sale in Toronto, over the past few weeks we’ve been hosting public weekend Open Houses at one of my listings. No biggie, or at least we thought, right? Now we are near certain we were played as part of a Scam!…

  I haven’t been able to tell over the past week whether my clients have been sniffing at the properties I’m showing them or if they’re fighting the nasty cold slash flu which is making its way around the population. Ever since our mass return from Summer Vacation everyone has…

Yesterday I was raving about ArchDaily.com, as it offers a glimpse into the most amazing architectural edifices in the world. Here’s an example.

This past first week ‘back to school’ brought almost 300 new freehold and 400 new condominium listings to market across the central core of the city, spanning from The Beach to Bloor West and up the Yonge Street corridor from Lake Ontario. That’s alot of product! While some properties are junk, and…

Well, after a scorching Summer of sizzling barbecues, eggs frying on sidewalks, and unrelenting heatwaves, the completion of this past three-day weekend signalled our country’s collective agreement that Summer fun is now officially over. Yup, fun no more. To wrap it up with a bow, in Canada we mark the end of Summer annually by celebrating the economic and social achievements of workers (and…

I cherish oceans and treasure mountains. Physically prominent on the west coast, it wasn’t until I moved to Toronto 25 years ago I realized how vital their presence are for me. How so? The cadence of the ocean waves recalibrate my own rhythm, while the sheer massing of rock formations grounds me. I consider them my bookends for balance. To nourish my love of life and my passion for work, taking respites near…
