The Last Graduation
School graduation is an important rite of passage, for both the students and their families. It is also one of the dullest events you can devise. It is a wonder more people don’t die of boredom during the ceremony. All you are there for is the 15 seconds or so it takes for your family […]
Waiting For A Plane X – Pearson Airport
I was traveling for a couple of weeks last month. I spent a lot of time in airports. In each one I had time on my hands. As a result I wrote at least one post in each of the airports; this is the concluding post in the series. Some of the posts are more […]
Waiting For A Plane IX – Ataturk Again
I was traveling for a couple of weeks last month. I spent a lot of time in airports. In each one I had time on my hands. As a result I wrote at least one post in each of the airports, which I have been posting from time to time. I’ll finish the series tomorrow. […]
Waiting For A Plane VIII – Erbil Internaional

I was traveling for a couple of weeks last month. I spent a lot of time in airports. In each one I had time on my hands. As a result I wrote at least one post in each of the airports, which am posting from time to time, interspersed with some other thoughts. Any flight […]
Coffee or Tea?
I used to tell people that my last cup of coffee was consumed on October 16, 1981, and I didn’t finish it. I can’t say that anymore. My mother raised me to be polite, and for more than thirty years I have been politely declining all offers of coffee. “I love the aroma,” I would […]
A Monday Morning Mini Rant
I was waffling between a couple of posts for today, one a serious commentary, the other a travel piece. I couldn’t make up my mind. Then I saw this quote and decided it was appropriate for a Monday morning. Yes, I know it is a generalization, but there is a lot of truth in it […]
Well Done
I have been to too many funerals. I have never liked them. I know they are about supporting the living, an opportunity to come together and mourn as a community, but that doesn’t mean I have to like the process. Culturally we have a tendency to say nothing but good things about the deceased. It […]
