One Of Those Days
As I write this, today’s post has been “saving” for about half an hour. Except it isn’t really, I don’t think. It’s lost somewhere in cyberspace. Maybe it will show up. If it does, I know there’s a typo. I was about to fix it once I had saved what I had so far, and […]
Time to Calm Down
Today’s post was going to be a travel post, but I’ve postponed it. Figure I should wait until I’m sure the trip is over before blasting the airlines involved. As a result you get another opportunity today to fill in the reader survey. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to take part – it will […]
Feedback Time
Every September I think about asking for your input on what you read here. Most years I just think about it, this year I’m actually asking. The last time I did a poll like this was four years ago, and the webpage interface has changed since that time. I’m hoping I’ve created something that will […]
The Job
Whenever I visit a community I check out the local newspapers, at least if they are published in a language I understand. With a journalism background, I’m naturally curious. I don’t just read the news coverage but also check out the advertising. Last month, while in Maine, I came across a job advertisement in the […]
Another Milestone
Happy birthday to us. Random Thoughts From Lorne starts its tenth year today, more or less. While I did publish a post in 2011, I always think of September first as the startup date, even though it was actually August 30. . I must admit though, I am surprised to be still in this space. […]
Supermoon Risen
More photos taken of the supermoon when I was on vacation in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, earlier this month. If you can, check out tonight’s moonrise.
Supermoon Rising
There are four of them in 2023, with the next one Wednesday night, the second supermoon this month. The last time there were two supermoons in a month was in 2018. The next time will be in 2037. A supermoon is perhaps a misnomer. The moon is the same one we always have, it is […]
The Train Returns?
Earlier this week, officials with OC Transpo, Ottawa’s transit agency, announced the return of the city’s light rail (LRT) system as of Monday. Sort of. After being shut down for two weeks they still won’t run a full complement of trains. And the replacement bus service will continue to operate – which means other routes […]
Building A Cabinet
Media reports say that Justin Trudeau will shuffle his cabinet today. Some under-performing ministers will be demoted and others removed completely. He is reluctant to make these changes of course, because the necessity for them makes him look bad. In November 2015, just before Trudeau appointed his first cabinet, I offered these thoughts. They are […]
The Love Coach
I wrote this piece five years ago and for some reason never posted it. Today seemed like a good day to share this. Sometimes I find myself in unusual situations. Like last week when I spent a few hours with a group of German Pentecostal pastors. I’m neither German, Pentecostal nor a pastor, but I […]
