Cornwall is a border city. It’s situated along the great St. Lawrence river and offers an international bridge to the state of New York. It’s actually two bridges. The first one takes you across to Cornwall Island and the Akwesasne Indian Reserve. Akwesasne is an interesting place. The north side of this native territory sits Canada and the south side sits in the USA. To make it even more interesting, the northern portion in Canada is divided by the provincial boundary between Ontario and Quebec. Read More…

Have I told you lately that I love what I do? I’ve had the great fortune of spending most of my working days doing work that I enjoy. My previous career in the corporate world was mostly good. In fact, it was mostly great. The last few years were challenging for sure, but I’m not complaining. It was a good company to work for and most of the people were great. Most of the customers were great. The pay was very good. I loved the mission and purpose of the company. It was a great part of my life.
I tell you all of that just so that what I say next will have more meaning. Read More…

A couple of months ago the arbor society of our town announced that they would be giving away free trees. Since I managed to kill the tree that was currently in our yard, Kari and I thought it would be a great opportunity to get a new tree. After all, the price would be impossible to beat.
The announcement said that they would begin handing out trees at noon, but Kari and I both had busy mornings planned. We determined that the earliest we could get there would be 1. Since the giveaway was on a Friday afternoon and not on a Saturday, we thought there might be some trees left when we showed up. Read More…

285- Family Ties

We form many ties during our lifetime. We form them with friends, schoolmates, coworkers, and neighbours, but none of these compare to the family ties we form.
With the former we get to choose who we associate with. We decide who we want to hang out with at school, who we want to be friends with in our day to day life and even who we want to converse with in our neighbourhood.
But we have no say when it comes to family. Family is who we’re brought up with. Read More…

Today’s episode is about perspective. I’ve spoken on this topic several times before, but that’s because I believe it is incredibly important. It’s not only important, but it’s a topic that needs to be looked at from many different angles to fully appreciate. Last week I had coffee with a good friend of mine and the topic of perspective came up. He’s a pastor and he shared how interesting it is to see people in different situations. He talks with people all the time who are going through difficult times, but the thing that sets people apart is their perspective. I totally agree. Our perspective while we are in the midst of challenges often dictates how challenging those times will be. If nothing else, our perspective will determine how bearable those times will be.

Now, one of the great things about Comiccons are the wonderful costumes that some of the attendees wear. You can really see the thought and effort put into them. In fact some of the attendees have better costumes than the convention’s special invited guests that are professional cosplayers. Read More…
