Things got off to a bad start for Jefferoo when the flight attendant came to his… Continue reading Barcelona Travel Log — Day 1 — Jeff Sucks At Beating Jet Lag

Barcelona or bust
Today’s the big day, my flight to Barcelona. The drive to the airport was quite interesting, as people kept honking at us and looking generally pissed off. After spending about an hour on the 401 thinking that everyone in Toronto was still a bit pissy about that whole G20 thing we discovered upon arrival that… Continue reading Barcelona or bust
Celeb for a day
Today was the 15th annual Jeff Preston Celebrity Golf Tournament. Yea, I have a golf tournament named after me…it’s humbling, embarrassing, and brag-worthy all at the same time. For the third year in a row, the skies opened up and poured rain on the little community of Saugeen Shores the night before the tournament, only to… Continue reading Celeb for a day
I’m A Squirrel
What up. Clara here, Jeff-less in Barcelona, just letting you know that yesterday I went to a former Jewish bath-house turned lesbian-run cafe and ate acorn pie. Acorn pie! And liqueur made of roses.

Don’t worry… Continue reading And then there was one…

Change comes to London
As I’m sure you are beginning to get a sense based on the content of this blog, Clara and I fall firmly into the “do” category. We’re the type of people who don’t just talk about the problems in this world, but actively work at solving some of them along the way. For this reason,… Continue reading Change comes to London

This is a full time, permanent position working with the Community Outreach team on youth leadership programs and opportunities. I don’t think “dream job” even begins to describe… Continue reading New Job!
