Kevin animatedly convinced about getting my blog powered by blogger.com. I am impressed by it. Much less work and far more reward by me. He wasn’t necessarily trying to convince me, but he had that wild look in his eye meaning, this is one world shattering institution that I shouldn’t miss out on. So, I’ve … [Read more…]
I gave a challenging but fair exam to my grade 9s this morning. They are a great bunch of kids. The student council president, Joe, calls our school the United Nations. In grade 9 alone I have students representing Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama, Trinidad, Haiti, Ghana, United States, Iraq, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Korea, Sri Lanka, … [Read more…]

Amber bashed her thumb in the car door quite efficiently on the way to a soccer game on Sunday. I’m trying to convince her to lance … [Read more…]
Just six months until The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Extended Edition DVD is released. Patience precious. Our car is in the garage. The ache of a broken car. I remember stopping at a gas station in Red Deer with my first car just after registering it. I was driving it … [Read more…]
The Innocence Mission has been around for more than a decade and I discovered them this week. Her voice is innocence and its allure is irresistable. I spent 40 minutes sharing my Mackenzie River trip with students this morning during an assembly. Though more than half the audience was quite disinterested, I am thankful for … [Read more…]
