OK, I’m going to get on a soapbox here. I’m fed up with the lack of patience in the world. Why does everybody have to be in such a rush?
When did it become normal to get honked at, flipped the bird at or plain outright cursed at, just for driving the posted speed limit? I’m no saint. I often drive 10 to 15 kilometres over the speed limit and yet I’m still passed by more cars than ones that I pass myself. What is so important that people need to get to so fast? Read More…

Today I want to continue my November series of gratitude by talking about why I am thankful for education. I think all of us here in the united states and in developed countries all around the world should be grateful that we have access to very good schools that are easy to get to, provide a high level of education, and prepare us for the future. There are children all of the earth that do not have ample schools readily available, so we should always be grateful for what we have. Read More…

360- Paint By Number

I used to love paint by number as a kid, but to be honest I rarely finished any of them. I’d get maybe two thirds of the way through and get bored and never get back to them. I do remember one however, although it was actually a colour by number since you filled in the numbered blocks with markers instead of paint. Read More…

You may recall that I mentioned on Friday that I would be attending a Tommy Emmanuel concert over the weekend. As I traveled home from the concert I tried to think of ways I could talk about it today. I replayed the concert in my mind and thought about the skill he demonstrated, the charm he used on the audience, and the joy expressed in his body language. I had to keep in mind that I’ve committed to talk about gratitude this month so today’s episode needed to come from that angle. Sure, I could say that I’m grateful I got to see one of my heroes, but that seemed like a cop out. Instead, I want to talk about hearing. Now, that may seem like an odd choice, but I think it will make sense in a few minutes. Read More…

For myself and nearly all of you listening to this podcast, we set our clocks back 1 hour before we went to bed Saturday night, thus bringing an end to daylight savings time for this year. While I do enjoy getting an extra hour of sleep, it also brings about a strong memory for me.
As we are now in the month of giving thanks, I want to spend the next few Mondays sharing things for which I’m grateful. However, today’s story might not begin how you might expect. At the beginning of each episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday I say that I believe if you aren’t learning, you aren’t living. Do you agree with that? Have you heard me say it so often that you don’t even notice it any more? Read More…
