Hello and thanks for reading.  It was great to get a number of responses asking where I was while I was on a short vacation! When most people think of agriculture, they visualize a farmer driving along in the hot sun on an old-style tractor.  While this type of farming is still prevalent in many […]

Imagine a traffic stop, in the middle of the night.  The officer gets out of their car and approaches.  When they get closer, they see a distressed looking Mom, with her two kids in the back seat.  She has just made a right hand turn when they were not permitted.  I think all parents have […]

Ask any basketball fan who the greatest “big man” of all time is and you may get a few different answers.  Some may opt for the most athletic (like Wilt Chamberlin)….some will choose the great defenders (like Bill Russell)….some will go for the great scorers (like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and some will go for the player […]

Yes, for millions of kids around the world, June spells the end of the school year.  While it is always great to start summer vacation, more than a few kids may be worried about their grades.  For some, it will be because they are doing poorly, while for others, it will be to see if […]

Ok, I admit that I am not a huge basketball fan.  It ranks 4th in my preference of the 4 major sports in North America.  But, that does not mean that I do not appreciate greatness when I see it.  One can’t help but admire the incredible talent of the Golden State Warriors, but more […]

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of participating in a race that was part of Calgary’s Marathon weekend.  You know, “stupid thing that causes all of the roads to be blocked while idiots try to kill themselves running” (at least, according to the rant from a gentleman in the airport).  These races, which are […]
