Waiting For A Plane XXII – Frankfurt
In 2015 I spent a lot of time in airports. I shared my thoughts on those trips with you in a series of posts. I managed to get through 2016 with my feet firmly planted on the ground, but it looks like I’ll be collecting a few frequent flyer points this year. I think I […]
Waiting For A Plane XXI – Frankfurt
I’m writing this on the plane. No time to write from the airport waiting area like I usually do. It took 40 minutes to get from where our flight arrived from Basel to the gate where the flight to Toronto was boarding. No time to sit, no time to shop, just get through the passport […]

St. Bene’t’s Church
No, that is not a typo. It really is spelled that way. If you want to know why you can click here. The sign outside said it was the oldest church in Cambridge. I like old churches (and young churches), so went inside. There is something special about being in a place where Christians have […]
Hot Dog!
French Canadians jealously guard their language from Anglo inclusions. Their French cousins have a more laissez-faire attitude towards English. Or maybe they are just lazy. I grew up in Quebec, where a weekend was fin de semaine, parking was stationnement, stop was arret and a hot dog was a chien chaud. Even new words, like […]
Drinking At The Eagle

The panel on the 18th and 19th centuries mentioned William Wilberforce and his accomplishments. When he was a student at Cambridge, in 1777, Wilberforce it […]
