I almost scrolled past the post. It was a normal "bucket list" kind of post that appears on all of our social media pages from time to time. The only reason I stopped this time was because it was a friend of mine whose opinion I respect that posted it and I usually enjoy his … Continue reading The Challenge
Imagine…
Imagine someone who is well loved and respected among their peers. A real asset to their career and an absolute joy to their coworkers. Maybe this is someone with children who are enjoying their own levels of accomplishments. Maybe they have small children that they are helping learn to walk or potty train.

What If
I recently come across a picture on social media that someone had snapped of an elderly gentleman standing in line at what appears to be a hardware store. This fellow had on a rather odd homemade-looking hat and a pair of rubber boots. He also wore a face mask. This photo was taken solely because … Continue reading What If
Secret Ingredient
Anne took a tentative bite and chewed with her mouth partly open, the way you do when something is too hot or if you are trying to really taste something. She sighed deeply before her lip started to quiver. Unable to help it she burst into tears, building until she was sobbing uncontrollably. Normally a … Continue reading Secret Ingredient

The Difference?
Random thought...Let's imagine that I start making moonshine in my garage. Now of course there are laws in place and it is against federal law to distill hard alcohol (even for personal consumption) without a license. This prohibits me from legally making moonshine, but it really isn't that difficult to do. All of the ingredients … Continue reading The Difference?
Grow Long and Prosper
Everyone I know enjoys that quiet time at the end of the day when you get to relax. You know the time – a long work day is done, dinner is done, chores are done and you get to curl up in bed with your spouse and watch a movie or your favourite series on … Continue reading Grow Long and Prosper
Conspiracy 101 – use your tin wisely
Lately the subject of "tinfoil hats" has come to my attention a few times so I feel it is necessary to help dispell some inaccuracies that are common around their construction. Whether it's 5G networks, mind control rays, chemtrails, space lasers or any of a number of other conspiracies against you (the list is endless … Continue reading Conspiracy 101 – use your tin wisely
