I Hate Food – Introduction
Originally posted on Oct 1, 2014 I hate food. I realize this isn’t a popular statement for many out there. There must be literally millions of people in the world who’s entire lives are dedicated to food, and the comprehensive supply chain that it is…but if it was possible, I’d…

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…

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…

Guns in the Hills: Remembrance Series
Originally posted on 11.15.13 As I mentioned, Nov 11th is a school holiday in Canada. That meant that as a school boy, I never had school on my birthday. That made for a great day to hold a birthday party, which through my elementary school years always involved playing guns…

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…
