September 20, 2011 I have a book from the library that is overdue. I don’t want to return it. I know I won’t be able to renew it. And I still need it. So if I just keep it, even if it is overdue, then I can still use it. A brilliant plan, or so […]
September 4, 2011 I was cut-off again in traffic. A truck pulled out of a gas station, right in front of me. I had to swerve to avoid rear-ending them. I pushed on my horn and braked quickly. I don’t think they even bothered to look before pulling out. I drive a lot. My work […]

August 26, 2011 One week ago my son and I had left on our road trip from Edmonton, Alberta, to Victoria, B.C. We enjoyed a delightful soak in a hot tub under the stars at the HI Nordegg – Shunda Creek Hostel. Then we spent the next day reminiscing about past road trips as we […]
August 9, 2011 As I complete the first day of my cleanse, I am struck by the contrast between my situation here in Canada and the current famine situation in Somalia. Here, I am completing a cleanse because I have provided my body with far too much food than is necessary. So I am overweight. […]
