Vacation Thoughts VII
I never did like the blood donor questionnaire. It never made sense to me that I had to answer the same questions over and over several times a year. I have a donor card, I am in your system, obviously you have taken my blood before. I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to […]
Beach Flashback
On Fridays this year I am reposting material from the same date in years past. This one comes from August 2, 2015. My vacation routine is unchanged – this is still the way I spend my days when on vacation. I don’t have anywhere near as much time to read for pleasure as I would like […]
Vacation Thoughts VI
I hadn’t thought of this before. But there is a certain truth to it – though I might say it is the two front burners that are my favorites. On my old stove though… I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to recharge. Well, at least as much as possible with a three-year-old around. […]
Vacation Thoughts II
This isn’t so much a poke at the younger generation as a sad commentary on how litigious our society has become. It is like the warning that coffee may be hot – it shouldn’t need to be stated, but the lawyers insist. I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to recharge. Well, at least […]
Vacation Thoughts I
I’ve used the line myself – this rings so true. I’m taking a break from daily routines, trying to recharge. Well, at least as much as possible with a three-year-old around. So for the next little while I’m going to be sharing one pearl of wisdom a day that I found online. Some days it […]
Flashback Directions
On Fridays this year we have been looking at older posts from the same date that you may have missed. I remember this 2018 post well – at my age learning a new language isn’t fun. My German teacher supposedly appreciates my sense of humor, though she has told my wife if I don’t curb […]
Offering Me Money
Are you getting them too? Emails from a financial institution offering a line of credit? When the first one came last month, I ignored it. Not only was it from some lender I had never heard of, but the line of credit was being offered for my business, Lorne A. Martin Excavation. Do you see […]
An Old Mill Flashback
It’s Flashback Friday as throughout 2024 we revisit posts from years past. I didn’t remember this one, from July 19, 2016, when I first saw it, but the memories came back when I read the text. I lived and worked in Renfrew County for 15 years or so, and never once checked out any of […]
After The Shots
There’s so much to ay about the attempt to assassinate Donald Trump on Saturday – and I’m not going to say any of it. Except hat I am surprised it hasn’t happened sooner. And I am glad the attempt failed. I dislike a lot about Donald Trump, but if he is what the American people […]
Order From Chaos
What a lovely job title. One I am sure is very appropriate. I saw this sign when I was visiting a church in the Toronto area last week, a larger one with a whole wing for children’s ministries. It was sitting on the reception counter, where I presume parents sign their children in on Sundays […]
