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……

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.

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…

Don’t Under Estimate Your Importance
The Canadian Olympic Men’s hockey team will take to the ice at 5:00 am Mountain Standard Time, Sunday February 23rd in the Gold medal game. As I’ve been asking around, I’m concerned to see that some people don’t plan to wake early and watch this game. I offer 3 reasons…

Canadian Girls
I’m so proud of every Canadian girl I’ve ever met… And those I haven’t yet. They are full of heart and strength … beautiful, graceful and fun. Olympic champions, daughters of this land… I salute you. You make me proud.

For Those Who are Kind Enough…
For those who are kind enough to read my writing, I feel I owe you an explanation. You see, things have been busy lately…what a common excuse. But here is mine, for your consideration. My Mom became ready for a new phase of her life, around the December time-frame last…

Pathways
Pathways in the snow tell a story. They show you what’s been, but also the travelled ways. You can dissect the nature of what’s been there before, And see the stories from the past. Pathways are sometimes built as they are travelled, But now a days, many are pre-built, showing…

Puzzles, Business & Life
I love doing puzzles –the kind you build on a table. The finding and placing of pieces is fascinating, challenging and satisfying. Seeing the picture come together, and the journey to get there, is a luxurious use of my time and energy. There are some truths to puzzles that transfer…

November 11th: Remembrance Series
Originally posted on 11.13.13 I was born on Remembrance Day: The day we pause to remember the men and women who served our country. We wear red poppies on our chests and school children get the day off school. We observe a minute of silent reflection at 11:00 am and…

The Dream: Remembrance Series
Originally posted on 11.14.13 The elephant grass is 8 feet high. Sharp as hell and thick beyond belief. Dozens of narrow pathways cut through the field form a maze that I navigate by instinct. I’m hunting and lost. The day is hot and my sweat is constant. I fire my…

The News: Remembrance Series
Originally posted on 11.16.13 On Remembrance Day, the news channels play war footage. I am immediately drawn to it, and stop everything to focus and listen. The personal stories captivate me and I often put myself in their shoes…picturing what it would have been like if that were me. I’m…
