I don’t like to judge, well sometimes I do but that’s a “Penn” for another time. But, seriously, I read a story last week about Laura Fernee a scientist from London. It appears that Ms. Fernee had to quit her job because of physical limitations…… actually it was because of her physical appearance. She told…
You’ve Sent Mail!
Apparently, it was new technology for her and she was really struggling. I just happened to be there for her conversation with the support staff as she went over the process step by step. She wanted to make sure that she had done everything right and that the recipient would get her message. I would…
May the Force Be With Us
There are the same number of Jedi Knights as there are Wesleyans! Well, that’s not entirely true, there are the same number of Jedi across Canada as there are Wesleyans in Atlantic Canada. But still. . . They are in decline and while some are quick to offer up reasons, nobody is offering up solutions. …
Who am I?
It just took two digits and all of a sudden I wasn't who I thought I was. The other day I was topping up my “Mac Pass” and the “customer service” rep informed me that either my pass didn't belong to me or I wasn't who I said I was. Well I knew the pass…
Proud to be a Christian. . .eh
I learned two things this week that I didn’t know before. Even though I am not a sports fan I am aware that Jackie Robinson was the first African American to play professional baseball in the Major Leagues in the States. And I even knew that before they started promoting the movie “42”. What I…
A Little Good News, Please.

Not Safe Box
They thought their valuables were safe. After all, they paid to make sure they were kept safe, and the things they kept their valuables in were called “safe deposit boxes.” Which I’m sure led people to believe that the items they stored in their “safe deposit boxes” would actually be safe. And different people had…
End Thinkism!
I hope I’m not a thinkist. “And what” you may be asking “is a thinkist?” Well the short answer is someone who suffers from thinkism. And what is thinkism? I recently discovered the concept of thinkism in a novel by James Grippando and I am now committed to avoiding being a thinkist. Today it is…
They want his Bones back
They want his bones back! You may recall the story from February; remains discovered under a parking lot in Leicester in 2012 were confirmed to be the bones of King Richard III, the last of the House of York. Over five hundred years ago, Richard died in the Battle of Bosworth and the location of…
You are praying for what?
I was talking to a friend the other day and they told me that they were praying that they would win the Rav 4 that Tim Horton’s is giving away. I would suspect that they aren’t the only one who is praying that their Rim will be the lucky one. The percentage of Canadians praying…
