New Year 2023 brought no essay, no long winded tirade on new normal or other TEOTWAWKI 2.0 revelations. It started out with a squeak and is coming to a close with a roar unlike any other. 2023 has proven to be a year of HUGE changes in my little corner […]

And back again. On the subject of STUFF. Anyone who has read Tolkien will know that Hobbits travel light. Every day humans are bombarded with images of things that we are told we need, desire and can’t live without. The notion of personal property has taken hold in the modern […]
Well, we did it – Amelia and I ventured out in -35 and set up shop at the Moonlight Madness Market last night in Melville (40 minutes north of us – for those not sure where Melville is). Coffee cup and thermos in tow, we set up shop and waited…and […]
Since I was only born in the ’60’s and not actually RAISED in the ’60’s I get a lot of strange looks when I announce to those who ask that I am 100% hippie. I’ll have to say that the majority of strange looks come from the younger folks I […]

Well, much to my great disappointment, I was not accepted to the program that I had applied to. The assessment was long and rather in-depth but the essence is: my ideas have great merit, I harbor tremendous passion for my work, BUT (there it is…) I carry too much personal […]
I was rather hoping to be doing the snoopy-dance-of-joy over having been accepted to the training program I’ve applied to. Well, I’m still waiting… Things seem to have been in a holding pattern for quite a while out here, and I’m really not sure why. However, I do suspect that […]
Hippie: define hippie….call ’em what you will, personally I’ve always be rather proud of the label. You don’t need to take a vow of poverty or swear off shaving your legs. You don’t need to burn bras, or attend Green Peace rallies. My father, suit and tie extraordinaire that he […]
