The Epistle of Q — Chapter Thirty-Nine (cont’d)

So, what happened on Day Two of Meadowlark? Again there were two events, morning and evening… Morning — The Burrowing Owl Story This was a fascinating trip from beginning to end. It was well organized with a sharp guide that had us on time from the get-go. We drove to a somewhat remote location, about […]

Just what is the Meadowlark Festival and why did I attend? Every Victoria Day weekend in Penticton (and other parts of the South Okanagan) a dedicated group of volunteers puts on a festival to celebrate and explore the outdoors. There are literary dozens of different events from bird watching to bat studying to rock investigations […]

The Epistle of Q — Chapter Thirty-Seven (Part D)

This week it was Richard Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier. This is a long work, but the action goes quite quickly until the final scene […]

The Epistle of Q — Chapter Thirty-Eight

Do you want to know why Grandkids are special? Well, I suppose if you have some yourself you already have a pretty good idea. But humour me for a few minutes and let me tell you a little bit about my American Twins. You see, my daughter married a really neat guy. In fact, as […]
