Must Be Flashback Friday
Today’s post comes from May 17, 2016. Looking through some old photos, I noticed this one that I took while on vacation in Maine in 2008. This was downtown Portland, right on the waterfront. I have to wonder about whether the owners of the parking space had ever followed through on their threat to the […]
Worth Remembering
Moral of the story is to take God at his word.
Still Introverted
Flashback Friday, and we revisit May 10, 2015. I was cleaning up some computer files and came across the picture below. If you have any introverts in your life (and most of us do) this can be a helpful guide to keeping them happy and healthy. Reading those over in 2024, I am struck by […]
Travel Surprise
Memories fade, but this is ridiculous. I’ve been bitten yet again by a mobile German holiday. In 2018 there were a few mornings when I headed to the grocery store, only to find it closed for a holiday I wasn’t aware of. In Canada stores post holiday hours a week or so beforehand. In Germany […]

The Consequence
Welcome to Flashback Friday, a look back at this space from past years. Today’s post first ran eight years ago today, April 26, 2016. Anyone with half a brain could have seen it coming. That no-one did is probably because there were politicians involved. A couple of years back the Ontario government decided that sick leave […]
Must Be Tuesday…
Just another work day for most of us. Just a few images today to (hopefully) make you smile.
Am I An Idiot?
For this Flashback Friday we go back to April 19, 2016. Apparently I am not an idiot. One of my jobs requires logging in to a computer in another city, using a virtual private network. When it works, which is usually, it is a simple system. A few weeks back though I couldn’t connect. I […]
