Category: just for fun

• Time away…

  I’m currently enjoying some much needed time off. As usual for this time of year, Lynn and I are at our annual geek-fest at Calgary Expo. So far, the panels have been interesting, and the crowds have been manageable though I feel they are the largest they have been since before COVID. A couple panels…

  ‘Twas the night before Christmas…. How can another year be nearly over? I can say with all honesty that 2022 has flown by. The last year has been one hell of a ride; it’s been full of challenge, growth and endurance. I sailed past the two year anniversary of my last hospital admission with barely…
