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.

Edmonton
After YegNews

After YegNews

It was a tough decision to make and, ultimately, the right one in deciding to close YegNews. I learned a lot in the process of starting, running and closing it.

Close the City Centre Airport, or keep it open?

Close the City Centre Airport, or keep it open?

Envision Edmonton hasn't taken the decision to close the City Centre Airport well. They're reopening the debate and trying to make it an election issue for this fall.

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.

TGIF – at last!

The weekend is finally here and I am tremendously happy about that.

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.
Pondering photography

Pondering photography

I've been happy with the results I've been getting in my photography lately. Eventually I'd like to buy a few more lenses to add to my camera bag and maybe a Canon 5D.
Edmonton AM business panel: Alberta sales tax

Edmonton AM business panel: Alberta sales tax

The Alberta government is floating trial balloons about the possibility of a sales tax in Alberta. I don't know if there's ever been a riot in this province, but if they did that, there would be. The Alberta government does have revenue issues and a sales tax might solve them.
