Blank Screen
I love the potential of a blank screen. Anything can be created, anything can be said. It’s a freedom I relish, and sometimes pause to take in, Before acting. Young children. Fresh snow. A waiting search box. Where will you go? Clean white, empty paper. New Document, in the…

Underwear
I was walking past a couple of guys I know at a Christmas party last night. All suited up, cocktails flowing. Good guys. I thought I’d drift into their conversation, say hi. Might as well pop in for a chat… I approach with an ear of sensitivity to the engaged…

Music Review: Hospitality – Last Words
It’s the weekend! Time to get your groove on…with a little Hospitality. I love a band that’s unafraid to release a song that plays over 3 and a half minutes and takes you on a journey. Last words awakens lingering memories of old 80’s Tears for Fears with a guitar…

Song Review: Humiliation, by The National
I want to tell you about a song. Some of you immediately said ‘I’m not a music person’…others said ‘ok’. For those of you who aren’t music people, I understand…but don’t turn off yet. Challenge yourself. Find the song (click here), listen to it, than tell me what you think.…

Food Prep
Originally posted on Oct 2, 2014 Sunday is a day of planning…rest is no more. Not with all the food required for the week, for the four of us. Envisioning the week’s food needs is the last thing that comes naturally to me. Ask me what I want to eat…

The Cocktail Party
Originally posted on Oct 4, 2014 I love cocktailing. It’s so much fun hanging out, chatting with people…having a good laugh while tilting one back. Calgary is a people town, and we like to get together. We are a social city, and a lot of big ideas and business deals…

The Math of Food
Originally posted on Oct 7, 2014 There are 168 hours in a 7 day week. I figure most adults spent between 20 and 30 hours every week dealing with food. That’s a lot of time from my perspective…here’s how I arrive at those numbers: Shopping, Sorting, Separating, Bagging and Storing…

The Psychology Segment
Originally posted on Oct 9, 2014 I believe if someone is prepared to seriously use the word ‘hate’, they are well advised to take a look at what’s behind such an emotion…it’s certainly not my intention to live a hateful life. And if I’m going to actually ‘look’ at where the emotion…

The 21st Meal
Originally posted on Oct 13, 2014 I chopped wood every day this weekend. For some, this might sound like hard labor, or a ‘job to get done’. Not for me. This is leisure time, music on, no distractions…outside with my thoughts. I love it. There are some events and activities that…

The Pill
Originally posted on Oct15, 2014 Okay, now that we’ve had our little ‘love in’ (with The 21st Meal), I ask that you consider answering the following question: What’s your number? Imagine for a moment that there is actually a ‘meal pill’ that we could take to represent all of the…

broccoli
Originally posted on Oct 16, 2014 Okay, more disclosure here, I’m a smell guy. I’m sure that smell is my most dominant sense – positively, negatively, my super power cannot be controlled… I have a very aware sense of smell. Perhaps in knowing this you’ll understand the full frontal assault…

Conspiracy Theory
Originally posted on Oct 17, 2014 They’re closing in on me. I’m being followed, for sure. The neighbors are obviously in on it. This is dangerous talk in dangerous times my friends. We have to stick together – no one breaks. It’s just us few, the righteous, against the Man.…

Roll the Credits
Originally posted on Oct 20, 2014 Queue the montage music… I am aware that I’ve ‘checked out’ of food. I purposely try not to let it bother me, or bring me down. I just deal with it – get it done. It’s the best relationship I can create and foster……

How Would You Like to Read It?
I have a question, can I have your opinion? I could use some input, your perspective…your preference. While I was on vacation in July, I wrote for a little while each day. By the time the vacation was over, I saw that the majority of the pieces I wrote were…

Kids Laughing
It’s over 30 degrees Celsius, and the kids are jumping on the trampoline…they’ve been outside for hours. The sprinkler is on and they’re drenched head to toe. Their laughter mixes with the wind, and the other sounds of summer.
