  • Empty Thoughts…

    Apparently, I haven’t had much in the way of creative thought–or any thoughts–since January of 2012. While that is not entirely true I find it difficult to commit to writing daily. I  have yet to find that quiet time in… Continue reading

  • Gettin’ Ready…

    As usual, we started our first travel day totally unprepared for travel. I’m not entirely certain why that happens; we just never seem  ready. It reminds me of the Scott Douglas play “Strange Angels”. Kar-ul, the angel, has just smacked… Continue reading

  • Cellular revisited…

    About a year ago I wrote a rant about Cellular service and as I recall decided the best course was to do nothing until my contract time was over. It’s over! It ended in December 2009. I decided to be cell… Continue reading

  • Just fiddling around…

    Foot stomping, toe tapping, hand clapping music filled the air last night. The Scott Woods Band (http://www.scottwoods.ca/) was in town and performed a grand concert that took me back to my years of listening to the raido on Sarurday or… Continue reading

  • Who said doctors don’t make house-calls?

    One morning during Advent I came to the realization that doctors do still make house calls! In Sanctuary the rule is that whoever wakens and turns out first in the morning is responsible for putting on coffee. As it happened… Continue reading

  • Today I used the “S*%@” word…

    Snow! There I said it again. Today it snowed! October 2, 2008 and at 2:03 pm it snowed on sanctuary. Mother Nature, we need to chat.            GRB Continue reading
