If there’s one thing I’d have to say lately it’s that my horizons have been broadened. Coming out of retirement and taking another job , the resulting move to another town and getting another place to live, it’s all totally out of my experience. It’s an adventure, and it continues. The original plan is for …
Originally posted on September 8, 2014 by Dwayne Time is flying by, to where I know not. We’ve been away from our house/home for over 2 months now of a potential 6 month gig. I have been asked more than a few times if I would consider staying on permanently but up until now I’ve …
One thing you do get is to see a bunch of interesting stuff when you’re on the road. This gent was operating the espresso machine at a coffee shop on the road called “Deadwood Junction and Tarnished Turkey Cappuccino Bar”, one of my favourite haunts while en route to Kelowna or back home from a visit to my grandson.
I believe my depression was more a reactive depression, or situational depression, than the psychological depression I first thought it was. Those circumstances are now behind me (at least for now) so I want to look ahead, not back.

The other day I was given the honor of sharing the “Thanks for Writing Award” by My Soulful Healing. Needless to say it came as a bit of a surprise, a very pleasant surprise but a surprise nonetheless. It’s just that I haven’t been on the blog scene for some time now, by writing any …
