This “blog”…this series of short stories began just about three years ago. You have no idea how thankful I am to have found an audience for my nasty writing habit. Now, however, it comes time to use a word that I adore…evolution. evolution ˌiːvəˈluːʃ(ə)n,ˈɛv-/ noun the process by which different kinds of living organism are believed to have developed from …
11:25am MST Flying high again… Back at the Calgary airport for another ninety minutes before the first leg of my trip home will take me north to Edmonton. Have a headache still, from last night’s evening festivities with two friends. The day is gray out there. I believe I am skipping out just before the snow flies again. I wonder …
6:12am MST Do mountains tell time? “Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really cars?” – Chicago (the band) I really do not want to get out of bed.

I recently have started getting some tugs on the fishing line. Since January 1 of this year, I have put out roughly 100 …
This has been one of those days that I just cannot get warm. Cold I can deal with. Snow I can deal with. Mix it with damp water drenched slush falling from the heavens…claiming to be snow…reminds me of how good the winters were in my hometown of Calgary.
