Thoughts On The 23rd
My wife is a saint. She puts up with me, even when I am grumpy. I knew before we got married that she was a saint. She seeks God’s will and cares for people. I wanted to spend my life with someone like that, someone who makes me better by being, and by encouraging me […]
Another Thursday
It’s not that I’m feeling uninspired, it has been a super busy day. On days like that, it’s time to bring out the humor.
Legendary
The first tine I heard a Robert Charlebois record I really wasn’t sure what he was singing about. Even with the lyrics in front of me It was 1968 and I was in a high school French class. The teacher thought we should hear and study this new music. It was in French, and then […]
Images of War – II
A photo essay of sorts today. Just a jumble of pictures I took last month at the Imperial War Museum in London. I have some other pictures I will share at a later date, focused on specific aspects of the museum displays. Today’s photos though were chosen at random. I’m not sure if pictures without […]
Flying The Flag
All public schools in Ottawa are flying the Pride flag for the month of June. I’d ask why, but anyone who does so is labeled as homophobic, transphobic and accused of making people feel unsafe. Being neither of those things, I won’t ask. I do note though that this is the only flag Ottawa schools […]
This Space Left Intentionally Blank
Feel Free to fill in your own words of wisdom today. I’ll be back tomorrow. And for you dad’s out there, I hope you had a happy Father’s Day.
Maybe It’s Me
I just don’t see the appeal. It is just a big pricey Ferris wheel. To me the view isn’t worth 30 British pounds – about $50 Canadian. I think I am in the minority; 30 million people visited it in its first seven years. The London Eye probably hadn’t even been thought of on my […]
The Big Four Zero
I waited until just after 3 p.m. Eastern time to post this, because that is when, according the the experts, Canada’s population reached the 40 million mark. Recently we’ve been adding almost a half million people each year through immigration. In 1967 we celebrated Canada’s centennial, 100 years as a nation with a song that […]
Thursday Again
It has been one of those long days. I’ll let the images do the talking.
Help Me Understand
Possibly the most notorious killer in Canada’s history is moved from a maximum security prison to a medium security one. When the announcement is made the public is outraged. The victims’ families are upset they weren’t consulted. Also outraged is the Prime Minister and the Minister of Public Safety. They didn’t know. They will find […]
