…and what better time for letting your mind wander far FAR away? If a couple recent posts were “link dumps”, consider this one a “mind dump” as I sit at home waiting on a few things before I head back to Weyburn after a quick trip into the city. (Hmm, one thing that didn't factor […]
I'm sitting at the Kelowna Public Library using a temporary barcode and password (do all public libraries have this option for visitors? They should!) to check e-mail after a very long day. (I start to shake if I don't check e-mail at least every second day.) The funeral was good – the Royal Canadian Legion did a […]

For instance, last […]
A onetime child prodigy, at 39 Joshua Bell has arrived as an internationally acclaimed virtuoso. Three days before he appeared at the Metro station, Bell had filled the house at Boston's stately Symphony Hall, where merely pretty good seats went for $100. Two weeks later, at the Music Center at Strathmore, in North Bethesda, he […]
A couple months ago, I wrote about how I attended the local NDP association's AGM with Shea's uncle who's big with the NDP (he ran in the 2000 Federal election) during a visit to Weyburn. During the meeting, one old-timer had leaned over and asked if I might be interested in running. I told him […]
