I don’t talk much about religion here any longer but I am Free Methodist and I do have an interest in how the denomination does. Over the years I have been a member of a couple of committees and working groups and have developed a respect for our Bishop and the national leadership team. Connected [...]

A couple of weeks ago I realized that I hadn’t taken any vacation days in 2011. I have three weeks and over a week of flex time to use so I decided to take some this fall. With Mark playing Kinsmen Football, I can’t really get away or he doesn’t get to practice so instead [...]

Wendy blogged about our weekend at the cabin. The photos can be found here. The highlight of the weekend was falling (being tossed off) the hammock by Oliver. Here was my view after my eviction. He has a great future as a bouncer.

Our Ford Festiva (now SGI’s Ford Festiva) had an eventful long weekend. The damage is stunning but no one was hurt. The only thing we need to deal with is that the set of keys were totally eaten by the dash. We’ll see if we can get them out at SGI’s Salvage Yard on [...]

I attended a funeral for a long time resident of the Salvation Army Community Services today. He stayed with us for several years after the death of his wife and the alienation from his children.

I turned 37 today. Not much of a milestone but it was an enjoyable day. I fell asleep on the sofa last night so I woke up early to the family and a really sore neck. After some stretching and straining I got up and opened some presents. Mark gave me a 70-210mm Sigma lens [...]

Not sure why I like this post by Randall Friesen so much but I do. And I think to myself, Self, it would be good on days like this, to work in a small niche bookstore where few people come and go on any given day, and I am free to help those who come [...]

My friends Greg and Jackie’s adopted Haitian kids are in Canada tonight and they are able to give their twins a new home. After ten days of incompetence and indecision from the Government of Canada (while the rest of the world acted), things have finally worked out. The result is that God’s Littlest Angels orphanage [...]
