Maybe He Is Real
Went for a walk in the neuighborhood shortly after Sunrise on Easter Sunday. Spotted this rabbit. No sign of eggs though.
Easter Thoughts
Again going back to 2015 for this one. The foundations of the earth shook when the words were first uttered. Angels danced with joy. Christ is risen! Friday had been about despair and shattered dreams. How could everything have gone so wrong? It wasn’t supposed to end like this! But it was. God had a […]
Twisting Again
This weekend seems like a rerun. Third COVID Easter I guess; many people are still (understandably perhaps) leery of get-togethers. So let’s go back to 2015 again today with one of my favorite seasonal songs. Sometimes a song strikes a chord in your soul. I was going to write extensively about this song (actually I […]
Still A Classic
It is Good Friday. Seems appropriate to replay this radio drama and post from 2015. As a radio guy I have a great appreciation for the traditions of the medium. I missed the golden age of radio drama. By the time I was born television, though still in its infancy, was beginning to take off. […]
Thursday Smiles
I figured it was about time to laugh again with some pandemic jokes. After two years though it is tough to find ones you haven’t seen already. So I thought I’d throw in the story below. Yes, I’m making you read – but you can visualize the pictures. One day, just before the gates open […]
First Impressions
“It’s great to have a vision but you have to be able to actually get things done.” That is the challenge facing Conservative Party leadership hopeful Leona Alleslev. Can she convince enough party members that her vision of Canada is the right one (pun intended), and then convince Canadian voters to allow her to implement […]
Lost Together
Maybe it was because it was the first indoor rock concert I’ve been to in five years. Maybe it was the band, which after almost 40 years together is tight, polished and knows how to please a crowd. There seems to always be one band that epitomizes Canada, that lurks in our collective psyche. Today […]
Big Brother Is Watching
I spent less than five percent of my work hours last month in meetings, not even an hour. That is if Microsoft is to be believed. My perception is quite different, but then I don’t confide in my electronics. Why add to the database someone is creating about me? I don’t use Microsoft’s calendar that comes […]
Remembering A Role Model
Today would have been my father’s 96th birthday. It is also the 11th anniversary of his death. Somehow he managed to begin and end his life on April 10. Like all of us, he was a complicated man. I have many unanswered questions about choices he made back when I was a child, and even […]
Not Even A Long Shot
Last week I heard Roman Baber speak. You are forgiven for saying “who?” It was a political meeting, a chance to meet one of the candidates running to become leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and probably our next Prime minister. Baber is one of the candidates perceived to have an almost zero chance […]
