Kensington Wine Market – Calgary
I have not been to all of the wine stores in Calgary but so far the Kensington Wine Market has one of the best selections around. A good assortment of wines from around the world with some very good inexpensive wines and plenty of excellent more expensive wines. But plenty for me in the middle.

My son purchased a ‘wine of the month’ for me which I love as I get to try wines that I may not otherwise. So, once a month, instead of having them deliver I make a point of going into the store to pick it up and purchase a few others. The staff have always been helpful in steering me to good wines of the types that I like.
They can keep track of your purchases if you want and you can also go and create an account at their website to order or mark your favourites.
Total Immersion Swimming
Total Immersion Swimming |
I am about half way through the book: Total Immersion by Terry Laughlin. I have been swimming my laps for years and do have a pretty relaxed stroke. I’m almost 60 years old and this book with its innovative how-to stuff that Terry has put forth makes me feel like a teenager again. Previously I was mainly interested in just keeping in shape. NOW I’m very interested in doing some racing to see how I fare against others. Still working on finding my ‘zone’ or sweet spot for the techniques that he talks about but I’m doing 14-16 strokes per length compared to most people I see doing 25-30 and and I’m going much faster. The edition that I’m reading is @1995 but there is an abridged on circa 2005. Great book for any level of swimmer.
