Justine Henin announced her retirement from tennis today. She’s 25 years old. I’m not a big tennis fan so, in the normal course of things, this probably wouldn’t register high for me. But, perhaps because of her age, I read the entire article and found this comment from her coach, Carlos Rodriguez:
“Because of […]

It appears the people here are a giddy lot, at least compared to the rest of Canada. According to a poll done by L’Observateur of 2,300 Canadians (as reported by the CBC):
New Brunswick and the rest of the Atlantic provinces — excluding Nova Scotia — scored highest in terms of personal contentment … The survey […]

Bit of a muddle

Please excuse the jazzin’ around with Writelife. I’m still in the process of making some changes and a bit of redefining and so on. So it’s all a schmozzle at the moment.
But this will change (eventually).

Yes, he was a cheerful and accommodating fellow. And the trip to Saint John was great, although we did get lost coming back and drove around New Brunswick aimlessly.
(I was speculating today that there must be word out by now that there’s a gold Taurus with Alberta plates randomly scooting up and down the roads […]

I have too many blogs. That may change in the near future. But some posts don’t seem to belong together, some do.
But I ramble. My point is that my eastern migration is being recorded, in fitful fashion, on my other blog, Crazy Ass Planet. And with things being hectic and anxious and stressful, there’s no […]

It’s so easy to slip

It’s so easy to slip,
It’s so easy to fall …
- Little Feat –
When things are going really well you’ve got to be careful. Something may be lying in wait to trip you up.
I decided to move east. I resigned from my job. I sold my condo. Plans were coming together and then … whoops!
Not a […]

Where have I been?

Yes, I have not posted for a while. There are two reasons for this (somewhat connected). One, I’ve been very busy with work and with some personal changes that are currently in play. Two, I’ve been down east in Atlantic Canada.
I must admit, I was tipsy quite often while tooling around New Brunswick and Nova […]

Turning things upside down

I begin far too many posts trying to excuse my lack of frequent posting. Yet it’s a terrific compulsion because I know I haven’t posted in a while. And when I do, it strikes me that the posts connect to writing in only the most tenuous way.
Well, that may be changing. Though I’m unsure of […]

I have not posted anything on any of my blogs in the last few days and I’ve been wondering why. The answer kept coming back: I had nothing to post about. I started mulling that over.
First, I wondered why I had nothing to post. The answer was that I actually had much I could have […]

I would be a happy man. And I’d probably be a poet. I might not make millions, but I don’t think I’d care.
If an open wound had a voice it would be Bettye LaVette’s. This disc I’ve been listening to is all about the voice and the voice is all about how it feels to […]
