For anyone reading this who is located north of the 48th parallel in North America, have a great Canada Day! I hope you have great weather where you are, and are enjoying a well deserved day off. I’m not, alas. I get to slug coffee for the late shift, all weekend, so spare a thought […]
Gone With The Wind, a romance movie staple, is 74 years old today. How long since you watched it and sighed over the dresses and Scarlett’s pertness? Actually, I love the movie for the dresses and I love reading the book for the sheer detail and fascination of watching Rhett Butler dash himself to pieces

Vampire Powers – Holy Objects, Garlic Continuing the Vampire Powers series. Today I’m looking at something that’s really more of a “negative power” — a weakness.

I know I said I was back, last post, but I had no idea what a massive liar I was, at the time. Yeah, I was back in Canada — physically. As for actually being back in control of my life, all the strings in my hand, all lights green, ready to rock on…hollow laugh.

I’m almost scared to start blogging again. There’s a small mountain of news, tasks, and dust to blow off the site. Not to mention about 800 photos we took in Australia that I should really comb through to share the best of with you, that I never really had time to upload while I was

Well, I’m on-line. And I’m in Australia. These two facts, put together, constitute a small miracle. It has been a helluva week, lemme tell you. The flight(s) to Australia…don’t get me started. Whoever invented long haul flights must have been been related to Torquemada. It took 24 hours to decompress after we arrived. The first

We’re waiting for our flight to L.A. We’ve been waiting for three hours and we’ll be waiting another 90 minutes yet to board, then another 30 minutes to take off. That’s not our worst lay over yet, by far. But the pain is certainly leavened by … free WIFI!!!! I’ve been taking full advantage of

As you read this, I will be strapped into my seat and white knuckling my way through the first take-off of a marathon 38 hour milk-run series of flights to Perth, Western Australia. For the first time since I landed in Canada on October 4, 1996, I’m heading back “home” for a visit — although
