U2 – Kicking The Darkness
In 2013 I did a few guest posts for my friend Bruce’s blog. It wasn’t intentional. We had been having an email conversation about England’s Greenbelt Festival and some of my experiences there. He took those emails and published them (with permission of course). I figured now, with U2 on the road in North […]

U2 – Six Songs At Greenbelt
In 2013 I did a few guest posts for my friend Bruce’s blog. It wasn’t intentional. We had been having an email conversation about England’s Greenbelt Festival and some of my experiences there. He took those emails and published them. I figured now, with U2 on the road in North America, would be a […]
U2 – The Joshua Tree
I remember thinking when I first heard it that it was as close to perfect as a record could be. But it must be 15 years since the last time I listened to it all the way through. Irish rock band U2 are touring North America at the moment, celebrating the 30th anniversary of The […]
Larger Than Life
Opposites attract they say. I always pitied Beth a little for that. She put up with a lot Beth was a nice quiet person. Calm and composed. Not someone seeking the spotlight. I never asked what attracted her to Dave. Dave was one of the most exuberant people I have ever met. He wasn’t just […]
Kiwanis Way – IV: The Chapel
It’s amazing what can happen in a small town that would never happen in a city. That thought struck me again as I walked Pembroke’s Kiwanis Way. Walking from the Pembroke marina to Riverside Park I noticed that sometime in the past 15 or so years since I last traveled the path, a chapel had […]
Kiwanis Way – III: Pointer Boats
I remember when the statue, if that is what it is, was erected. A pointer boat on top of a spike didn’t make much sense to me. I knew the history, the importance of the boats to the logging industry in the Pembroke area, but you really couldn’t get a sense of what they were […]
Kiwanis Way – II: The Adult Playground
It had been at least a decade since my wife had managed to convince me to join her for a walk on Pembroke’s Kiwanis Way, and I discovered some things I hadn’t seen before. I know, that is hard to believe in a one-kilometre stroll. The thing that stood out the most was a new […]
Kiwanis Way – I
A couple of years before we moved from small town Pembroke to Canada’s capital (that’s Ottawa if you didn’t know it) there were some improvements made to Pembroke’s downtown. The Kiwanis Club paid for a paved walkway along the Ottawa River connecting the Pembroke Marina with Riverside Park. It is a short path, slightly more […]
Out Of Control – Revisited
Back in the early days of this blog I did a post about an art exhibit at the Atomium in Brussels. I had been quite impressed and thought others would be too. Yesterday I was looking at the pictures and thinking that perhaps I should share that post again since most of the people who […]
