Today the local radio station posted a news article about the fact that both Riverview and Dieppe are tabling bylaws to ban the use of single-use plastic bags. This is on the heels of the federal government’s insistence that single-use plastics be outright banned country wide by the end of 2021. I heard about this … Continue reading
Finding Comfort in 4A
It was May 20th, 1993 and I had no plans that night. As usual, my roommate was hiding in his bedroom so the living room was open for me to watch whatever television I felt like taking in that evening. I sat down in front of my TV, turned it on to NBC, and said … Continue reading

Digging Through Old Drawers
I told Tamara earlier today that I wanted to get some writing done so after the kids went to bed, I sat at the table and did a little writing. Mind you, it wasn’t the kind of writing she had in mind as it was a song we had talked about earlier that I was … Continue reading

It’s Always There, Never Forgotten
Some years I think about it and smile and it’s nothing more than just a passing memory. Other years I take stock of what I have and what I have gained, along with how much has changed since that day. It’s not something I talk about, even to my wife. She knows about what happened … Continue reading

When they got back to the office, the stories of their adventures spread through the walls and I found myself listening.

The Highs and Lows of my Employment
I don’t know if I say it often enough, but the truth be told, most days I love my job. I am fortunate enough to work for a company that lets me travel around the world, meeting new and interesting people, and killing them. Ok, maybe not the last part. But I do get to … Continue reading

Sitting on the Fence
It was about 6:30am when I woke up. The 6hr time difference was really wreaking havoc with me and so I opted to get up out of bed and go get some breakfast. I wandered downstairs to the hotel lobby and asked an employee where I could find the breakfast. Turns out they have a … Continue reading

A Massive Sigh of Relief
Earlier today I had what I can only express as being one of the biggest sighs of relief I have had in my professional career. I don’t talk a lot about my work. You can read my post about why that is here but today I am going to talk about work. I’m going to … Continue reading
