I have recently Graduated from United TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages). This is one of my instructors, Ray. I am now cerified to teach English as a second language the world over.

Trains are lonley when you've had a good time. It's all over and you're headed back to wherever you live. This is the ultimate in-between.

I helped my Grampa put the siding on one wall of his garden shed.

Beers with Garrett at Sharky's patio at the Oakville harbour. Nice to see you G! Hope all is well.

I went to the C.N. Tower with Sherry. There was a huge line but once we got up to the observation deck it was beautiful.

Above the glass floor.

Through the glass floor!

I dared myself to lay out on the safety fence at the observation deck.

Brain Freeze or ice cream headache are terms used to describe a form of cranial pain or headache which human beings are known to sometimes experience after consuming cold beverages or foods such as ice cream, often as a result of rapid consumption. The reaction is triggered by the cold substance consumed coming into contact with the roof of the mouth while the individual eats it. It triggers nerves that give the brain the impression of a very cold environment . To return warmth to the brain, blood vessels start to swell, which causes the pain for, typically, around 30 seconds .

Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet. ~Vietnamese Proverb

(Isaac completes his first ever kickturn.) The first commercial skateboard was the Roller Derby Skateboard that was introduced in 1959. Before this skateboards were home made pieces of wooden planks with roller skates attached to the bottom.

Women's football has been played for a long time with reports of the game being played in the 1790s. In England the first recorded game of football between women took place in England in 1895. Women's football first became popular on a large scale at the time of the First World War, when employment in heavy industry spurred the growth of the game, much as it had done for men fifty years earlier.Despite being more popular than some men's football events (one match saw a 53,000 strong crowd), women's football in England suffered a blow in 1921 when The Football Association outlawed the playing of the game on Association members' pitches, on the grounds that the game (as played by women) was distasteful. Some speculated that this may have also been due to envy of the large crowds that women's matches attracted.

According to a survey conducted by Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), football's governing body, published in the spring of 2001, over 240 million people regularly play football in more than 200 countries in every part of the world. Its simple rules and minimal equipment requirements have no doubt aided its spread and growth in popularity. In many parts of the world- particularly in Europe, Latin America , and increasingly in Africa - football evokes great passions and plays an important role in the life of individual fans, local communities, and even nations; it is therefore often claimed to be the most popular team sport in the world.

(Isaac is pisces.) Pisceans tend to withdraw into a dream world where their qualities can bring mental satisfaction and sometimes, fame and financial reward for they are extremely gifted artistically. They are also versatile and intuitive, have quick understanding, observe and listen well, and are receptive to new ideas and atmospheres. All these factors can combine to produce remarkable creativity in literature, music and art.
