Now or Never!
We’ve all done it and said it. “I’ll do it later”. Sometimes a moment comes along and if you don’t grab it then it will slip away. In other words, sometimes ‘later’ never comes. Over the last few years I’ve struggled with health issues. The life I had been working so hard to build seemingly began to crumble. Heart issues, Uterine Cancer and a vehicle accident that has left me with a mucked up…

A St. Patrick’s Day Poem…Inspired by Dr. Suess

I do not like green beer and lamb, No, no…I do not like green beer and lamb, Even if my name is Sam! I like beer with a golden hue, Full body with a malted flavor Smooth to the palate but with a wee kick too! Green beer began, With a…

Another Year...
Another Year…
My birthday is fast approaching. Next Wednesday I’ll celebrate fifty-nine years! In a conversation with my daughter last night we discussed age. While some may say that 59 years of age is old…it doesn’t ‘feel’ that way. What an odd way to describe our age though as how we feel? I will always feel the wonder of this world that I inhabit. Despite all the mess currently going on regarding the…

Life in the Fishbowl
Life in the Fishbowl
I rise just before 6:00 AM. I’ve been sleeping just a tad longer these days. Leaving the welcome warmth of my bed can be difficult at times. This has been a cold winter and I always turn the heat down in the evenings before going to bed as I cannot sleep well when it’s too stuffy. Having the air be a bit on the cool side is okay when I’m tucked beneath my down-filled comforter. Pillows…

Democracy...Tell Me What It Means To You!
Democracy…Tell Me What It Means To You!
I have provided the links to an article that was written by Gwynne Dyer back in July 2016 and also of a recent lecture he gave at the University of Regina. After one week in office President Trump has moved in a frightening direction. In Trump’s head its okay to tear up trade agreements and insist that all the jobs that have been lost in the U.S. due to out-sourcing and immigration. Now President…

A Truth
Sunset in Steveston I sit before this screen thinking about the things I’d like to talk about. The rush of ideas come fast and furious. I could surely wax poetic on any number of things; I could rant on any number of issues as well. There are injustices a plenty that I could champion. The screen remains empty. I make my breakfast and pour another cup of coffee. I gaze out the window at a…

A Pledge
Sunset, November 28, 2016 in Richmond , BC I have not written much in the last six months. In fact, I’ve not been writing much at all in any capacity. Understand that it is not a lack of ideas. This head of mine never turns off, and there are times where I dearly wish it would take a break. No, the ideas just pile up. When I slip into bed they fight for position and I promise to commit them…

Grievances...A History Of Sorts
Grievances…A History Of Sorts
After a year and half the American election finally came to bitter end. The outcome was not what anyone expected. We watched closely up here in Canada as the ugliest campaign in history unfolded. I could not believe that a man such as Trump could even be considered. He has legal cases pending in court, he is loud, obnoxious and has virtually no experience in the political realm. He’d somehow…

2016...A Year of Transitiions
2016…A Year of Transitiions
This has been an interesting year. One filled with several challenges. As I begin to finally settle into my new digs I am reflecting on some of the things that I’ve experienced and felt. And I’m thinking about the things I am in the process of adjusting and / or changing. One thing that is out…the microwave. A microwave is a form of non-ionizing radiation. As a matter of contrast, ionizing…

Take a Moment...Just Breathe!
Take a Moment…Just Breathe!
I’ve not been posting very often these days…I know. I’ve been transitioning in a big way. Trying to correct some of my behaviors and inevitably some of the choices made as a result. I am seeking remedies to assist in getting back on track. The last few years have been tough with regard to the health issues and yet I know that life can be like that. There are no guarantees. As stated previously,…

Human Touch
I met a friend for dinner this evening. We met after work down at Kits Beach at The Boathouse Restaurant. Jayne and I always have great discussions. I mentioned that I’d been downtown shopping a couple of weeks ago and I had seen the ‘Free Hug’ people in front of the London Drugs at Granville & Georgia St. I told her how I stood waiting for the light to change, my spirit feeling considerably…

We talk of the killings occurring that are seemingly on a daily basis, and we don’t even live in the U.S.A. The world at large seems to be in this state of extreme turmoil and stress. This may sound simple. It may sound half baked. Why not try it though…just for good measure? Let’s lay down our guns. Remember what it is to really love unconditionally, then hold each other and say, “I’m…

Moving On…A New Chapter Somewhere in the Middle
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has followed me over the years. This is my fifth year of blogging. I began this venture to develop better writing skills. For the first four years I pretty much powered through posting as many as 3 to 4 per week. I began posting on this site the day after having a heart procedure. I’ve since run several 10 KM races, a few 14 KM ones…

Guns, Guns & More Guns?
Guns, Guns & More Guns?
I’ve voiced my opinion on the whole luv-a-affair Americans have with their guns a few times.. And I just don’t get it. You claim to value life, yet mass shootings have become commonplace in your country. After the Orlando shootings the reports that came out were poorly researched and somewhat sensationalized as a ‘terrorist’ attack. And despite the fact to the contrary it is still being sold…

The Taxman Cometh…
T-T-T-T-Taxes! It is that time of year. The taxman cometh and taketh away this year. He still wants close to $2,500 from me for my personal taxes!!! Ouch!!! Last year was a tough one and it is still biting at my heels. I am supposed to pay by the 1st of June 2016. I’m going to see if I can get a ‘deferral’ for a month or two. Seems to be the thing to do these days. There is a loop hole in our…

Letting Go…Just a Thought
Vancouver from the top of Grouse Mountain I have spent a lifetime learning from my mistakes and continue to do so. Technically I should be a genius at this point as I’ve puzzled my way through the same dilemmas time after time after…. How is it that I continue to make the same the mistakes, yet I try to reason through them in variations that are if nothing else, inventive? What is it then that…

In A Nutshell….
May the 9th as evolved as rather significant date in my life reaping various challenges upon me. I’d been successful in selling my condo and was now on the hunt for new digs. The last few years have been tough in many ways physically, emotionally and its been hard financially as well. Seven years ago on May 9, 2010 I ran the Sun Run which is a 10 km race in Vancouver. Crossing the finish line…
