St. Peter in the Black Forest II
Following up on yesterday’s post, more pictures from the church.
St. Peter in the Black Forest
With only a few days left in Canada I have been rather remiss about posting in this space. So many things to do before we leave, and it seems there is never enough time. I have several new posts bubbling in my head but haven’t gotten around yet to putting pen to paper (so to […]
Juxtaposition
You have to wonder why no-one noticed that these signs really don’t belong together. At least I hope they don’t.
Back to Mer Bleue
Spent some time yesterday on a family outing in Ottawa’s urban forest, walking the trails in the Mer Bleue area. I had my phone with me, but didn’t take any pictures, figuring I have been here so many times before there was no reason to add to the photo collection. Instead I am re-posting something […]
They Called Again!
I guess my not being in the country for a year has lulled telemarketers into a sense of complacency. When I was working yesterday afternoon the phone rang. It was a very poor connection from wherever in India the young man was calling, and I really didn’t hear what he was calling about. But I […]

Friday Pun
Sorry, I couldn’t resist that one.
Weinfest
We saw the banner for weeks, every time we drove through Britzingen. Winefest was coming. The town has a reputation for the excellence of its wines, so a festival seems appropriate. We stopped by on the Sunday, since we drive through Britzingen after church. The main street was closed, there was parking along the detour […]
Talking Trade
When you get thrown under the bus, your first priority is to avoid the wheels. Once you have done that, you figure out your next move. These days Canada’s Prime Minister is doing his best to not get hit by the wheels. Last Monday the US and Mexico announced a trade deal to replace NAFTA, […]
The Fine Print
I’ll admit it, I laughed when I saw this on a friend’s Facebook page. From a linguistic perspective, I’m not sure God’s instructions to Adam and Eve were “terms and conditions” like Apple (and other tech companies) use for software, but I guess it is close enough. Once I was finished laughing though, I took […]
