One Sweet World: Part Two

At the end of September, I wrote a post from a newly claimed “portable” and temporary office in the woods 5 minutes walk from where I live. I shared this office with those who came before. Birds, some ducks and 3 deer.                   What I didn’t write… …continue reading.

A Different Take On The Occupy Movement

Oil

A good friend sent me an email last week with this photo attached. The subject heading said: “A Different Take On The Occupy Movement” When it comes to the numerous issues we are facing at what I believe is going to prove a defining point in the history of mankind, what saddens me the most… …continue reading.

As I mentioned in my book review of A View From The Back Pew, I recently had an opportunity to visit Las Vegas. This was a work related trip, as Vegas would not exactly be my first choice of places to go. I am not a great traveller. I don’t mind flying itself, but the… …continue reading.

One Sweet World

dead animals and frost 038

Often, while other Winnipeggers are safely snuggled in their homes, avoiding winter, I will have piled on layers and layers of clothing and headed out into the cold air for a long walk along my favourite frozen river. I describe going outside into bitter sub-zero temperatures as similar to diving into a cold lake. It… …continue reading.
