Hi freinds!
We have a new computer now! My laptop needs probably a couple of hundred bucks repairs after I attempted some home surgery on the power connection. I figured it just needed some tightening up so I went in. Little did I know... 3 hours later I got the poor thing back together. But I seemed to have...

Hello to all!
I have not been posting because my computer seriously needs another overhaul. In the meantime I am writing and editing some past work. Please keep well. See you soon. Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post. Blogit temperament seems to fluctuate and I let it get me down. Manboy

No one is forced to read this.
Call me thin-skinned. But I am starting to get the feeling that people of truly mild and gentle intent on the network are being held up to suspicion of leaving comments largely in the hope of getting a click back. Yup. More blog readers that'll bag me a Pulitzer. Of backing away from disputes with...

No Life Signs
Parents in a rural Chinese village allege that their daughters were buried alive after appearing to have succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning. A heating/cooking stove had malfunctioned causing the apparent deaths. Their daughters, two of five girls lost in the accident were fourteen years of age...

Easter Morning Postus interruptus...
As I ponder on the life of Jesus it is brought home ever more forcefully how we underestimate ourselves. And more specifically how I have consistently underestimated myself. (I'm workin' on that) At 30 He began His mission in earnest. By 33 He appears to have died. But it is obvious that some part...

Ellison, Algren, Bukowski, Murakami, Vonnegut.
These writers, and dozen more; Roddy Doyle, Henry Miller, Blaise Cendrars, Mary Stewart, Oliver Sacks- their works stacked where their names are always visible to me while I work. A constant reminder to me to always attempt to be original and true to my own voice. I have always abhored the idea of...

Politics is war made civilized.
But the vocabulary and lexicon and strategies are parallel in many ways. I shudder when I hear politicians and other leader's refer to opposition as 'our enemies!' The campaign. War is campaign. Political assault on the people is a campaign. The war is waged against the voter as well, for if they...

Live in New York city! I am listening for the hundredth time...
,To John Lennon's love letter to the greatest city in the world. I live in Vancouver and probably wouldn't want to live in any other city, but New York is the greatest city in the world!

I love Americans but I don't want to be one.
After I am dead it won't matter to me. Right? Wrong. I am Canadian. My children are Canadian. My wife is a Canadian. My parents and their parents. On my mother's side the roots go back to the 18th century. My great great Uncle was Sir George Simpson explorer and Governor of the original Hudsons Bay...

Vancouver, B.ud C.ity.
As they to this day persecute the Romany, so, we subset of humanity that choose to smoke pot are persecuted. Today. It was not always thus, my freinds. There was a time when a man or woman could enjoy the glow of cannabis after a hard day or to help in his quest for understanding the goodness at...
