Do we all have trust issues with people or groups? For me, one example of an issue I have with trusting people is with those who we are supposed to trust at fixing our vehicles. I believe that I have experienced, on repeated occasions, where a vehicle has gone in for servicing and in the… Continue reading truth or comfort?

living vicariously
I am going to say that living vicariously through someone else or a fictional character deepens the divide between the have and the have nots. Living vicariously through others. If we choose to experience our pleasure or entertainment through watching someone else in a role, in a game, a race, etc, etc we can cheer… Continue reading living vicariously
lets do this 1 – stop racism 2 – replace it with cool stuff
I live in the very center of North America in a very special place called Winnipeg. Winnipeg exemplifies the term diversity like no other city. We have diversity in our weather ranging from minus 30c to plus 30c. We have diversity in our industries, agriculture, housing, recreation, etc, etc. We also have diversity in our… Continue reading lets do this 1 – stop racism 2 – replace it with cool stuff
Protecting and Growing the Common Good
Part of my disgust with society, and the way we attempt to demonstrate how one group is better than another, is the resulting loss of space on earth to private ownership and/or control. I truly believe that one way for us to learn to understand each other is to share common space together regularly. Important… Continue reading Protecting and Growing the Common Good
Science Fair
Both of my kids are preparing for the science fair and I wish I was doing my own project. I was thrilled to be helping them come up with ideas for what their science fair projects could be. It felt so good to be curious about the world and to discover that not every question… Continue reading Science Fair

Think about that meeting room having one wall that faces out into the common area of the building made entirely of glass. Not just ordinary glass, but one-way glass. You can only see through it one way… Continue reading transparency that evokes
appearance profiling must end
When I ride the bus, I get on it early, when the bus has lots of open seats. I usually choose a spot next to a window. The bus can fill up to the point of people standing in the aisle and yet the spot next to me is still left open. No, I am… Continue reading appearance profiling must end
the sandbox has turned into a littler box
The sandbox has turned into a littler box, and no one is cleaning it. The spammers, the scammers and the politicians are making me believe that our “developed” nations are going downhill, and faster every year. Are greed driven thrusts getting worse? It seems with every day there is some new scandal, conspiracy or scheme… Continue reading the sandbox has turned into a littler box
celebrating a birthday
For some people, after the age of 18 celebrating your birthday is just a reminder of what you missed out on and how much closer you are to the grave. For others, myself included, it is a simple day to pause and reflect on that one person just for a day. I think a birthday… Continue reading celebrating a birthday
