Category: Amusing Musings

It was my birthday on 13 November, and one of my b-day resolutions is to blog regularly. Et voila, here is Coco Hobo: The Blog. I already have been active on Coco Hobo: The Twitter Feed, so maybe the segue to longform online writing will be quick and painless. Nonetheless, I don’t really have anything exciting to say today, except that I made a delicious brunch that I shall share with you:

Two poached eggs on a bed of arugula, with hobo hollandaise (a.k.a. Thousand Island dressing, I kid you not, it’s so versatile!) and ruby red grapefruit slices. And yes, that is a Starbucks sippy cup of water. Leftovers from my walk in High Park yesterday.

Speaking of High Park, because I just can’t do things the easy way, I am starting two blogs simultaneously: this, and “TreeSixtyFive” a diary in the life of a tree. Basically photographing the seasonal transformation of my favourite tree in High Park. [Note to Self: find out what species said tree be!]

You can find my tree blog here.

Also, I am beginning research on a website dedicated to beer, thirstybeaver.ca, which should be up and running by the end of the year! :o) The Beave is a subsidary of my communications agency, Innings Gate Co., and I am as excited to create it as I hope its viewers will be to read it!

Well, until next time.

Cross-Country Ski Club based in High Park with Sunday trips to various ski resorts… Baroque music, live or when played on CBC Radio 2 Tempo… The Ossington Avenue bar strip… Community Building (not Networking) with mediabistro.com… English Rose flavoured tea from Whittard of Chelsea (my fav tea emporium)… This winery but only because it features a wire-haired dachshund on its label, and of course its Pinot Grigio is so easy to drink… et cetera

Making random soups and stews in my slow cooker, not that I follow recipes but my cookbooks inspire me to invent my own

Working from home, although it has its ups and downs, today I love it :o)

“The British are a sporting race,” says George Mikes. “Having been Top Dog and Ruler of the Waves for centuries, they’ve decided to give others a chance. This is not a nation of Vulgar Winners, this is the nation of Good Losers.

“Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. The thing is, one has to know how to decay; one must learn, in short, how to be successfully decadent. You may desire to decay, yet your inborn excellence, your enviable human qualities, your blameless character may keep you at the top. Or else you may overdo it, and decay a shade too speedily. But don’t despair, for it can be done.”
