Another year of Tim Hortons Roll Up The Rim, and another year of no fantastic winnings. This year’s final above average record of 4 wins and 23 losses also achieves a record low of number of cups during the contest – too bad there is no Tim Hortons in Australia! I got a few funny [...]

My last Tim Hortons contest cup of tea was at the Calgary Airport last week, as the Vancouver Airport’s Tim Hortons was unfortunately closed. I’ve been asking around what Melbourne’s famous landmarks are – expect a RUTR Finale shot shortly! Current Statistics: Record: 4 – 23 Spent: $42.67 Won: $9.23 Probability: 17.82% [RUTR 2010 Progress]

Mark an unfortunate loss to the cup’o’losers… You’d hope I’d get a nice Tim Card before leaving, but no such luck. However, there is a Tim Hortons in Vancouver’s airport, so I still might have a chance! I pity the other passengers blocking the aisle seats for my definite increased run-pee frequency. Current Statistics: Record: [...]

Today was a busy day of errand running and packing! The good news is that I just received word on where I will be staying in Melbourne during my work assignment. Even better is that I won a coffee today! Tomorrow will be the last day of Roll Up The Rim for me. Makes me [...]

Since it was my last day of work this week, we decided to go out and eat a “midnight snack” after badminton at Happy Valley in Calgary – a great place to get your late night fix of fried food and congee! Shown closest to farthest: fried spicy tofu, snow pea leaves and jelly fish [...]

With my visa for Australia clearing yesterday, I estimate that my 2010 consumption for Roll Up The Rim will be a depressing 25 cups total when I leave Thursday. On the bright side, I have an opportunity to take a really different Roll Up The Rim finale picture in Melbourne, so if you have any [...]

Please add tiny bottles of ketchup (tomato sauce) to the list of things that can easily amuse me. You can get one with your meal at the Art Central Bistro here in Calgary. Thanks Connie! Current Statistics: Record: 3 – 11 Spent: $22.26 Won: $6.66 Probability: 13.67% [RUTR 2010 Progress]

Went to the Wild About Flowers stall at the Calgary farmers market today to pick up some nice gerberas. The staff helped me arrange a unique horizontal vase, with four slots to accommodate flowers with shortened stems. Oh, and I won a coffee. Current Statistics: Record: 3 – 9 Spent: $19.08 Won: $6.66 Probability: 10.45% [...]

These three losing cups are taken over the new Centennial Place tower being constructed near Calgary, which started more than 3 years ago! In other news, it has become very tough to say “no” to a invitation to coffee during the Roll Up The Rim contest. However, as I was working on my third steeped [...]
