January 15, 2025

As Team Fergmeijer was writing this week’s column we got a little peckish; we were down right Hungary. We had a deadline to meet and no time to waste, but we decided we would Russian to the kitchen and Czech the fridge to see if there was any Turkey. We found it, but sadly, the holiday leftovers were covered with a fine coating of Greece. Although we thought we Canada bit of Chile to it, we finally had to admit there is just Norway we could eat it at all. Although we’re Havana good time with these puns and Congo on and on with them, it’s probably best if we go ahead and Finnish this intro, now.

We are saddened to share that local village greeter Sadie crossed the Rainbow Bridge recently. She was a Team Fergmeijer superfan (well, a superfan of everyone, really), and she will be missed.


Deepen your connection with your body with the free Inclusive Mindful Movement classes at the Park Centre Monday January 20 to March 3rd (8-9pm).

We thought we’d try our hand at a slightly more poetic birthday shoutout as we wish Vera C a very happy 29th birthday: 

Under time's still hand,

a bright flame flickers softly—

your words light the years.
