I’m baaaack, as Jack Nicholson said in The Shining. My return is not nearly as noteworthy as his I’m afraid. I’m picking up take-out at Brandt’s. Interesting how my posting most often accompanies a cold beer or two at some pub. Perhaps I need to say ‘adult beverage’. I have nothing of note to say, …
I forgot my journal today, the paper version, and I must say it’s put me into a bit of a twist. Why does this keep happening? We are at Bear Creek Park, just across the lake from Kelowna, and finishing off this leg of our camping trip. This may be the last camping we do …
Let’s try this again, perhaps the third time’s a charm. Another morning post, or attempt at it. Got up a bit earlier than usual and came outside a bit sooner than other days. Still had Mac administration things to do, updates to WP for example, and my normal lack of attention span allowed me to …
As if it hasn’t been said enough “Time flies while you’re having fun”, or something like that. And time has flown. I believe it’s a function of aging, that time flies. I read somewhere that the perception of time passing faster as we age is due to the lack of originality in our lives. And …
It seemed to me if any day in my life might be interesting it would be a day with lots of activity. Easter fit that bill. Starting on the Good Friday our company began arriving, with first on the scene being my daughter and her family. Soon after our niece, nephew, sisters and brothers in …
I’m spent, physically and perhaps emotionally, and only because the day was gorgeous and I wanted to spend every moment I could outside. It’s not like it’s totally unusual. Long days out and about in the yard are pretty common once the days lengthen and the sun warms the ground. I feed off that warmth, …
I’m in a quandary, but then you that know me will say “so what else is new?” I believe a re-calibration is required, ‘How’ is the question, the ‘why’ not so much. I won’t belabor the point so I’ll cut to the chase. I’ve been thinking quite a bit about this blog lately, in fact I talked about …
Today is another challenge, I want to write, to post something meaningful. My mind is blank, the ideas aren’t coming, I’m struggling. I’m looking for a string, a concept to grasp and write about. I just finished reading a post by another blogger, a specialist in blogging and creating blog and web traffic. His name …
One thing photography has given me, or re-given I guess, is the awareness of the light and how it plays out on our surroundings. I’m more aware of the beauty around me now that I’ve taken the camera up again. It amazes me what we can take for granted. It provides me a challenge though, …
Our time in Kelowna, this time around, is done. We hung out with the kids, I took a couple walks, we bonded with our grandson, and certainly the highlight (for my wife anyway) was the Cirque Quidam show on Saturday night. It was a great show but my back rebelled part of the way through …
