Last week I had an awesome opportunity to write for the Winnipeg Free Press again.
This time, instead of listing some neat places to check out the city, I was writing about one super-awesome place (the YMCA).
Sweet! More freelancing.
Only this time it was really FREElancing. As in, there was no money involved.
That’s fine. I had a lot of fun writing this story and the reactions I’ve gotten have been amazing.
An old boss of mine said:
“Well done on the article in the Free Press…though I shed a tear for you leaving. I wish you all the best!! You are a great swim instructor and a great person!”
Smiles.
The YMCA – YWCA of Kamloops shared the story on their Facebook page. As did quite a few other employees here in Winnipeg and elsewhere in Canada. It was pretty cool to get that kind of recognition.
Smiles again.

Of course, to celebrate, I ate a sandwich. My dinner date ate another one. Fortunately, they were fan-friggin-tastic.
Here’s what I had at Cornerstone Bar and Restaurant:
Steak Sandwich: tenderloin steak, sauteed mushrooms, chimichurri, fried egg, served open-faced on a ciabatta. $16.00
Chipotle Chicken Melt: roast chicken in chipotle barbecue sauce with bacon jam, tomato, avocado & cheddar, served open face. $13.00
