Nice Touch, Life Touch
Notice anything? Don’t professional portraiteers have special gear for avoiding glare like this? I passed on the portrait package.
Ministry Training on Christian Microfinance and Microenterprise Development
This past fall I took a second online course (first one) from the Chalmers Center in order to further my knowledge of international development. As the title spells out, the seven week course explained the principles of creating financing opportunities and enterprise training opportunities among the world’s poor. There are three main ways that this is … [Read more…]
Top 10 R.E.M. Songs
I’ve been a fan of the Athens, Georgia band since grade ten when a classmate I was tutoring in math made me a tape of Out of Time (thanks Jennifer!). Depending on the day, I might call them my favorite band. I managed to ruthlessly narrow my favorite songs down to 23 and now down … [Read more…]
Exciting Hockey
My brother-in-law Dean invited me to see the Oilers last night. It had been over 4 years since I had been to one and it was the same match up: Edmonton vs. Dallas. The game was awesome – plenty of scoring opportunities, some great fights, super goaltending, and the Oilers even won 4-1. Oddly enough … [Read more…]
Driving in on Queen Elizabeth II
I’ve driven Hwy 2 (Queen Elizabeth II highway between Edmonton & Calgary) dozens upon dozens of times. I drove it this afternoon after visiting my sister, bro-in-law, and niece. Today, our sunroof decided to start acting up and spontaneously opened about 10 times between Red Deer and Airdrie. Funny car. Ha ha. ha. Then, as … [Read more…]
63 Hours with the Fishers

Le Gouvernement
I haven’t blogged in ages. This, I can’t pass up. I studied political science and government a bit in university when I got my B.A. in history. I understand the Canadian political system and how it works. Because of this, it is so painful for me to listen to Steven Harper speak about the his … [Read more…]
Love in the Brisk November air
Amber and I got another date as working guests at our friend Shane’s wedding. I filmed their nuptials. He and Chrystal were wed at Fort Edmonton Park (where she worked for the summer as one of those old fashioned characters who churns butter or shoes horses). We were outside for a good portion of the … [Read more…]
Deathtrap
On October 31, Amber and I got to go on a date. But my mom was there too. But she wasn’t really with us, she was on the stage. We attended Ignition Theatre‘s production of Deathtrap on the Matchbox stage. The Red Deer Express had this to say of my mom’s performance: Debby Allan brings … [Read more…]
