Happy Canada Day
It is July 1 already. Half the year is gone. Do you need any other reason for a party? Canadians celebrate their country today, which has me thinking about patriotism. We think we have the best country in the world, but citizens of other countries might disagree. I won’t list all the good things that […]
Attitude Adjustment
You make great plans and life intervenes, meaning that nothing on your “to-do” list actually gets done. Sometimes I don’t know where the time goes. Do you ever have a day like that? Tuesday started (after a quick email check) with a couple of hours work in a nearby vineyard. Grapes don’t just grown on […]
Something Different…
My friend Bruce used to fill his blog with a lot of videos. If he didn’t have anything profound to share on a particular day, he would share a musical gem he had found on YouTube.

The Crossing

The ancient Greeks (and their Roman counterparts) had lots of gods, none of who seem to have been able to deliver in a […]
Bug In The Road?
Is it a large insect, or a small lizard? I haven’t a clue. In my youth I should have paid more attention in science class. Then I would be able to classify this creature I crossed paths with on Monday. Perhaps I could have figured it out if I had examined it more closely, but […]
Random Thoughts From Paul
My friend Paul Wilkinson blogs daily at Thinking Out Loud and is one of the people who encouraged me years ago to launch in this space. We are of a similar age and have many similar interests. From what I read in this guest post he offered me, his mind is getting a little fuzzy with […]
Science Meets Religion
When I first saw the t-shirt in a store window I knew I had to buy it. Of course it would be on a Sunday and the store was closed. For those who don’t speak German, the words are from of Genesis 1:3. And gott Sprach means “And God spoke.” Und es ward Licht is “and […]
One of Those Days
We’ll return to our regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. I hope.
