Look through a Glass, Less Geekly. That was the title of an article that I read in a copy of USA Today while travelling this week. The article was about the new frames that have been developed for Google Glass, and while I'm geeky enough to have found the content of the article cool, what…
Master of the Wind
It was a dark and stormy night. I’ve always wanted to start a story like that. The wind howled blowing the top off the breakers before they crashed back into the troughs below. The darkness was broken by momentary streaks of light as the clouds raced across the face of the full moon. Could it…
Cheaters don’t win, etc. etc.
Well, that certainly makes me feel safe. There was a report out last week that the United States military has stripped the certification and security clearances of 34 of their air force officers. The reason? It appears that the 34 had cheated on their monthly proficiency test, which wouldn’t be an issue if they were…
A Day at the Beach, Because you Say So
Have you ever been tired? I mean, dead beat tired? They had fished all night and caught nothing, nada, zip and they were exhausted, but there was still work to do. The nets had to be washed to get the seaweed and guck out and everything had to be put away before they could go…
Of Donkeys and Foxes
Last week I happened upon the news that Walmart has pulled donkey meat off the shelves in China after testing showed it was contaminated with fox meat. Seriously?! I’m not sure if I would rather find fox in my donkey meat or donkey in my fox meat. However, it seems to be a very real…
A Day at the Beach: the Beginning
This time of year it’s easy for our minds to drift to warmer climes and the beach. If you close your eyes you can almost envision the turquoise water, the white sand and a palm tree that you can lean back on. I love being close to the water. Maybe it’s the fact that my…
They Burned Their Car!
Seriously, they burned their car! Two men in Alberta resorted to desperate measures last week after becoming stuck in a snow bank on their way home. It appears that while returning to Lethbridge, after dark, the men got lost and then wound up in a ditch. In order to survive the frigid temperatures they first…
Fresh Vision
We are not drunk! Interesting way to start a conversation but that’s basically how today’s scripture begins. And if you are going to start a conversation by telling people that you aren’t drunk it’s safe to assume that at least some of the folks you are talking to thought you were drunk. So let’s put…
I Resolve
It’s the New Year and a great time for reflecting and being thankful for where we are in life and what we have. Just the other day I read a story about a woman in South Carolina who beat and stabbed her common law husband with a ceramic squirrel. Yes, a ceramic squirrel. It seems…
