I'm a writer. I do many things, but writing is one of my favourites. I use my blog mainly to pontificate about a variety of topics that may or may not be interesting to anyone. I don't let that stop me.

If it looks like I haven't posted in a while, it doesn't mean I'm not writing. My writing will appear elsewhere. And if I'm not writing, I may also be out taking photos.

St. Joseph High School & PSDL

Toured St. Joseph High School in Edmonton and I think the personalized self-directed learning program (PSDL) is something my son is going to do very well in.

Father’s Day

Father's Day is a day of mixed emotions for me. It always dredges up the past, something I'm not always fond of doing.

Lindsay Blackett’s had enough of your shit

I don't know how effective Lindsay Blackett is as a minister, but any time he speaks, I'm sure political reporters are on the edge of their seats waiting for the next zinger. Poor Ed Stelmach.

Cyber 9/11? LOL of the week

Watch out for cyber 9/11! Your computer could be out to kill you, but don't worry, the government will protect you.
Photographing flowers

Photographing flowers

One of my favourite aspects of summer is being able to photograph the flowers around me. After a couple of years without blooming irises, they've burst into flower with a vengeance.

Canadian healthcare – catching up

How much would it cost to get caught up on surgeries for people on waiting lists in Canada? After that, we ought to be able to keep current, shouldn't we?

Thankfully, the end of the day is near

Ever have one of those days that just goes from bad to worse? Today has been one of those days.
