“The Penny”

2016: Day 9 No disrespect intended to my gender, but didn’t the ladies just kill it this year? Look at Rio as an example. It wasn’t until the second week of the games that we noticed we had Canadian men competing. And even at that, I think our Olympic team consisted of a male pole … [Read more…]

“The Purple Problem Solver”

December 31, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 16 and the FINAL day of our 12 DOD! This one is a bit unusual, so please bear with me. As good as 2015 was (and it was a great year), it also seemed to be a year of complex problems. One thing I’ve learned over the years is that complex problems require … [Read more…]

“Slower Than Expected”

2015: Day 13 Today I pay tribute to the members of my excellent relay team at Challenge Penticton – Joanne and Pam.

“The Frosty Glacier”

December 20, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2015: Day 11 Usually we pick the event or memory, and then craft a drink around it, but not this one. My cousin Andrea suggested I make this drink for the 12DOD and I immediately thought it reminded me of my trip to Alaska in May. And of course you don’t say no to a pregnant lady … [Read more…]

“Get Ugly”

December 7, 2015 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

Continuing with our tradition of celebrating people and events this past year, Day 5 of our 12 Days of Drinking we celebrate a rather remarkable achievement by local hero (and legend in the making) Jeff Symonds.

“Wink Drink”

December 23, 2014 by lchamaschuk Leave a Comment

2014: Day 12 For the past 4 months, Joel and I have been working with Andrea at Balance In Motion for rehabilitation of our respective injuries, as well as general strength and conditioning. She’s helping me work on my Core strength and develop Glutes of Steel which will help me power up those Gran Fondo … [Read more…]
