What Happened?

Posted on October 3, 2019 by

If you read about my summer day in October, you might have wondered how it all turned out.  Well, basically, by the time the evening rolled around the rain had started and the temperatures had fallen.  By the next day, … Continue reading →

Summer in October

Posted on October 2, 2019 by

When I heard the news on the radio confirming what was being whispered around my office the previous day, I was pretty certain I knew what Today’s Perfect Moment was going to be. Various people had been talking about it … Continue reading →

Cool Morning

Posted on August 23, 2019 by

I know people aren’t going to agree, or even like what I am going to write for Today’s Perfect Moment. It isn’t going to be popular.  I expect a flood of negatives and only a handful of readers who agree.  … Continue reading →

Not When I Got to My Stop.

Posted on August 22, 2019 by

There were several candidates for Today’s Perfect Moment. I saw a Canadian actress on the subway–or I at least thought I did. I am (now) unsure as to whether I “recognized” her or just felt that I knew her from … Continue reading →

A Tale of Two Rains

Posted on August 13, 2019 by

There was an odd kind of symmetry to my day involving rain. When I got to the subway stop nearest my work, it was raining, despite not raining before that.  When I left work, it rained on my walk back … Continue reading →

More Than Dew

Posted on July 17, 2019 by

As mornings go, I had no reason to think this one would be massively different than any other. I hit the snooze button an extra time, and felt a bit scrambly.  My lunch wasn’t prepared and I feared that I … Continue reading →

From the Bedroom Window

Posted on June 25, 2019 by

I was on the verge of sleep, having abandoned any thought of writing this blog. Sure, there had been a Perfect Moment to today, but in my sleepy head, I couldn’t find it.  I couldn’t dig deep enough or sift … Continue reading →

Rain on my Awning

Posted on June 11, 2019 by

It should come as no surprise that weather is fickle. However, based on the fact that my students complain about it as much as they do, and that they spend an inordinate amount of time telling me that the weather … Continue reading →

A Very Full Weekend

Posted on May 20, 2019 by

It’s a holiday here in Canada–Victoria Day or May 2-4.  Like most Canadians I am not particularly royalist–at times I have been a pessimist, optimist, conversationalist, and even a drunken shower singing vocalist–but not particularly royalist.  I do, however, enjoy … Continue reading →
