Waterskiing
I love waterskiing. I truly love it. Can I tell you why? First off, the boat. I have a job so I can have a boat…it’s where I like to be. Those who love boats know what I’m talking about…those who don’t, think I’m crazy. Yes, boats are demanding lovers…but…

Master Rules and Vacation
When I played badminton, I travelled a lot. International, national, provincial, local, rural…I packed and unpacked a lot of stuff. Over time, I developed some ‘rules’. Pack only as much as you can carry, yourself. Keep your shoes and racquets with you, always. Zip your baggage tags into your luggage…

Talk
Good for you, you voice-finder, say seeker. You have stepped into the ugliness of straight talk…and it’s moving ways. Oh yes, there is good, pure rightness in the directness of it all…but it’s not easy. And people will hurt…a little damage will be done. But only at first. This all…

Music Review – Frightened Rabbit, Keep Yourself Warm
It’s not a new song. But it’s worth revisiting (or meeting for the first time). This is for those who put earphones on. You can get close to this one. ‘I’m drunk, I’m drunk – and you’re probably on pills’…hook, line and sinker, You are unafraid – bold with the…

Stampede Music Festival
I heard somewhere that the Calgary Stampede is Canada’s largest music festival. I never looked at it that way, but I can see why. For the better part of two weeks, bands play virtual every music venue in the city from early morning until well past night fall. For me,…

The Rum Diary – Movie Review
I sat with an already formed love for the movie I would soon see. Hunter S. Thompson is my favorite author. Johnny Depp is my favorite actor. It’s a journey through highs and lows. It’s about a writer trying to get to his first novel…this movie was made for me.…
