Got back from Arizona to find a lot of things have changed in Morinville and in the province of Alberta, too. Decide to go away for the better part of the winter, and things seem to have fallen apart without me. Guess things just run better when Joe’s around. […]

It was a good week last week to be German or pretend you are German for the night. That Octoberfest event at the cultural centre was real good even if the lineup was long and made the missus impatient… […]

Not sure what plate gets picked, but I bet more Albertans will vote for stupid licence plates than vote for the next premier. Anyway here’s my ideas. … […]

I noticed a photo what got posted online of a bunch of geese and it was referred to as a gaggle. I had to look it up on the Google but I learnt that almost every kind of animal has a different name when there’s a bunch of them.
