Saturday Snap – Some Aunts & Uncles at Cousin’s Funeral

Did an eight-hour round trip from Weyburn to Warman, SK for my cousin’s funeral on Saturday and was very glad I did – not just to be there to celebrate the life of my cousin of course but also because the sad reality is that often, its only weddings, milestone birthdays and funerals where you […]

From my personal journal, February 11, 2000: Settle in to bed (well, a sleeping bag under a cafeteria table) about midnight. Oh, when we get back from grabbing our sleeping bags, I offer to bring a coffee to the security guard and end up having a big talk with him – about how he got […]
