Freak Show!
If you think you have see this post before you may have. I was watching the baseball game last night (and not the vice-presidential debate) and got so caught up in the contest I didn’t get around to finishing the post I had planned for today. So here’s one from November 2014 to start your […]
Making Memories
I am away until the end of May. Until I get back I am re-posting some favourites so you don’t miss me too much. We were walking along the banks of the Thames River in London, England, near Parliament, when we came upon the three fishermen. Or perhaps that should be fisher boys as they […]
Memories of War
Like most Canadians, I think of war as rather a remote thing. It has been a long time since a war was fought on Canadian soil. Oh there has been the odd skirmish, rebellions in the Canadian west in 1870 and 1885 as well as in both Upper and Lower Canada (now Ontario and Quebec) […]

We’ll start with the church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, located on Trafalgar […]

Fishing For Eels, Catching Memories
We were walking along the banks of the Thames River in London, England, near Parliament, when we came upon the three fishermen. Or perhaps that should be fisher boys as they were obviously preteens. There was a bench opposite them so we sat down and watched. I never did figure out the family dynamic, though […]
The Lions of Trafalgar – Some Thoughts on Aging
In some ways our visit to London this summer was a write-off. It was the last day before our flight home, and I had planned to take in a few sights, it having been a long time since I did more than change planes in London. However, we were tired and the effort involved in […]
