I had a really great conversation going this evening when I hit the wrong key and suddenly the screen went into a contorted overdrive, added a myriad of unknowable symbols and I lost it all. I am going to try to find it later, but for now I am going to shift gears and ask […]
Okay, so I had a good day skiing, even though near the end of it, the wind chill at the top of the mountain was dipping close to -30C. The sun was brilliant, the sky was Presbyterian Blue, the snow was crisp but beautifully ski-able. However skiing is often a personal thing…hard to share, unless […]
Some days generate more questions than others? Some of those question-generating days, raise questions that really simply initiate more questions? Today seems like one of those. Q #1 If the news out of Russia is true that President-elect Trump has been compromised by the new KGB (I forget the initials I should be using), is […]
Q #1 Ought skiing and/or other winter sports to be publicly supported form of winter exercise? On Monday I returned to my favourite ski hill and managed in the short time I had available, to get in eight runs and over four thousand vertical metres of skiing. There were a wide assortment of people on […]
It’s Sunday evening and it’s snowing…winter has been really long this year in the Okanagan and it’s very cold. I know some global warmist will tell me that this is the sign of the apocalypse but over the last three [3] winters we’ve had the Great Lakes freeze over one year and the Okanagan freeze-up […]
I wasn’t sure whether I would write anything today; but after attending Live from the Met in HD at our local theatre I had no choice. Q #1 Why did they not offer music appreciation courses in my high school learning experience? Why did it take me until I was in my late fifties to […]
Does this commentary not seems just a little cleaner today? A little fresher? Well that’s really no surprise, because by noon today I was feeling much better so I got up, had a shower and even shaved, and put on some clean clothes and returned to work…at least a little bit… Q #1 Does a […]
Today I did something I seldom do, maybe once a decade. I took the entire day off and mostly slept while trying to conquer a nasty cold I acquired during the move and finally has ramped up to be totally obnoxious… Nevertheless, in spite of this state of lethargy, there is at least one question […]
tonight I’ll be brief, but I want to start a conversation about how well prepared for life we were by the time we left high school… Q #1 (a) Were the War Babies and the early Boomers inadequately prepared by their high school counsellors and teachers to ask the vital questions leading into adulthood? And, […]
There are two Questions today that are on my mind, and not because this is Chapter Two. That kind of logic could lead to some very long-winded diatribes within a couple of weeks… Q #!: Why do wise people persist in doing unwise things? A medical doctor friend of mine, a long time ago, cautioned […]
