Dreaming of Summer
Warm spring, almost summerlike weather has my mind wandering. It will be brought back into focus on Wednesday when temperatures are expected to dip below freezing. The early morning walks along Old Orchard Beach are one of my favorite summer rituals. At 6 a.m. there are very few people on the beach. At low tide […]
More Spring Cleaning
I didn’t get much done yesterday, so the spring cleaning jokes have spilled over to today. I hope you can see the humor in them. I gotta admit, that one spoke to me, even though the tree has been down since January. I buy this argument. My wife on the other hand… As tempting as […]
That Time of Year
It is teh middle of April and the last of the winter snow melted from my back yard on Friday. That must mean it is time for some Spring cleaning, both inside and out. Want to lend a hand? First, we have to decide where to start. Which is more important, the outside or inside? […]
Nothing To See Here…
…or is there? After months of hiding, Katie Telford will appear before a House of Commons committee today. Don’t expect to learn anything. Telford, the Prime Minister’s chief of staff, will do her best to not answer questions about foreign interference in Canada’s electoral system. She has a problem though. If she was briefed by […]
Climate Uncertainty

It was too warm A couple of thousand kilometres to the west, the city of Winnipeg didn’t have a day in March where the temperatures rose above freezing. Coldest it has been since 1889. […]
Mid-week Already?
I studied Latin in high school. it reached the point where I could speak the language after a fashion, though I can’t say I enjoyed it. Waiting for teh end of the sentence for the verb always annoyed me. I’ve forgotten most of it – but I am pretty sure Wednesday is not Latin for […]
Untalented
Maybe there’s hope for me yet. Some of these seem easy. Others, I’m not quite so sure. (I was thinking about the coachable one. Why? What did you think it was?)
A Last Easter Reflection
Sitting in church yesterday for teh Easter Sunday service it felt almost crowded. While the sanctuary wasn’t more than half full, it seemed to me to be the biggest crowd in years. And that’s not counting those who attended online. We’ve been through a pandemic, though the experts warn that it isn’t over yet. Things […]
An Easter Bonus
Now that the meal is over, I thought I would share one of your favorite Easter posts. First published in 2016, this is still among the most read here each year. It’s Easter, and today I miss Johnny Hart. The creator of two popular late 20th century comic strips died in 2007. Neither the Wizard of […]
The Easter Song
Happy Easter! Christ is risen! Easter is one of those days when I miss being on the radio. There are so many great Easter songs, and I always loved to share them with the audience. So a couple of videos today, different versions of a song that reflects the spirit of the day. “Easter Song” […]
