I kayaked with papa today from our friend’s camp on the Kinnear River which joins the Aboujagane River to the Atlantic Ocean along the coast of Robichaud Office and then up the Kouchibouguac River to our place. There was some light rain in the forecast, but the weather was perfect being a little overcast, a … [Read more…]
Well, this was pretty sweet! Two of my favorite bands one after the other with my wife and some great friends in the inner circle just a few feet from the stage. Amber dropped me off at Magnetic Hill so I could get in line early, which didn’t do much aside from me getting the … [Read more…]
I have to credit Amber who paused our trip to Prince George for 75 minutes so that I could continue my adventure through Christianity. She walked through the town of Banff with Acadia while I and my faithful son Blaise attended Rundle Memorial United Church. I was late, again, because I missed the exit off … [Read more…]
I recognized yesterday how colourful my front bumper was after driving 2000 km from Fort Qu’Appelle, SK to Smithers, BC. Thank you bugs!
On July 10th, I attended St. George’s Orthodox Church in Regina with some friends. It is certainly the most original service I’ve partaken in and in a rather surprising way, it was refreshing – not something I anticipated in 1500 year old liturgy. I was late again (thanks to Chris, again ;)). We were invited … [Read more…]
I’ve been given a great opportunity this summer. Since I am not home for any weekends, I can visit churches in the cities I am present in. Two weeks ago I was able to visit the first of these: St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Regina. I am becoming more familiar with Anglican theology as I … [Read more…]
Canada Day Fireworks are better with kids! I really wanted to get the kids up and take them to the 10:30 fireworks in Regina (Saskatchewan’s provincial capital) since we were in town anyway. Amber agreed, fortunately, and got them dudded up appropriately in PJs and maple leaves on their cheeks. They never actually went to … [Read more…]
Yeah it was a fine drive. Took a little longer with all the police on the highway. I saw a pair of moose trotting in a field. Blaise got a free poster of the world’s tallest teepee at the info centre in Medicine Hat. Listened to The National, New Pornographers, Death Cab for Cutie, and … [Read more…]
Some cohousing friends invited us to go geocaching with them a couple weeks ago on Nose Hill. I had never been, so I was keen to see if we could even find any of the caches. Dan has a GPS and he brought the coordinates of 10 caches on the hill (there are many more … [Read more…]
It was my third visit to the Royal Tyrell Museum. The first time I went, my aunt was visiting from the U.S. in 1987 and so we took her there. The second time, friends from the U.S. came for a visit in 1997, so we took them to Drumheller. This time, yesterday, we took Blaise … [Read more…]
