These are strange times indeed. With less than a week left here in Edmonton, I tried something new. A first. I seem to be agreeing to a number of things these days with a, “Well, why the hell not? Sure!”
So yesterday I had a pedicure.
Well, my friend Liz was getting one and said, “Do […]

One week from today I’ll be flying east. This means the week coming up will be hectic. Movers pick everything up on Thursday. So I suppose I’ll be outta here after that. I’ll have to figure out some place to crash for a day or two before I actually fly out. Last work day is […]

When things are going really well you’ve got to be careful. Something may be lying in wait to trip you up.

The condo is sold. Today. Papers signed, offer accepted. So once the legal whatever is taken care of, remaining steps processed, blah blah … it’s done, and yet another step is taken in the East Coast Relocation Project (ECRP).

At the risk of seeming a little too self-involved, I’m using one of my favourite photos of me (used before) because this is rather a neat little post, in my view.
I resigned today.
Yup, I made it official and took yet another of the series of steps that will land me in Fredericton, […]

I would be telling an untruth if I were to say this moving business was not more than a tad overwhelming. But on the other hand, it’s definitely entertaining.
One thing packing up your crap does is prod you to going through some of it and trimming it down. It’s amazing how much trash we hang […]

Yes, it’s kitchen Bill. Gaze upon it while you can. I suspect that in less than a month I shall no longer be in this kitchen. And once gone, it’s unlikely I’ll return to it again.
It’s amazing and somewhat alarming that so many things are still up in the air. I’ve no […]

Why do people move? What makes them uproot and leave everything they’ve known for a great unknown beyond the horizon? Why climb this Mount Everest of formalities that makes you feel like a beggar? Why enter this jungle of foreignness where everything is new, strange and difficult?
The answer is the same the […]

I think I am only putting these images up because I am stunned by the shock and the horror of it all.
The first, from a company ID card circa 1992 or 1993 makes my look like one of those guys whose pictures show up all over the media following some shocking and horrific crime. I […]

I’m going through a lot of old papers etc. Yesterday, I came across this - a poem of sorts I wrote about ten years ago. It’s a bit silly but I’ve always kind of liked it so for what it’s worth, here it is:
One of us
You were a car when you were young.Now you are […]
