Well…only one thing I can write about today and that, of course, is the ongoing Stampeder tour of British Columbia. The thing about being a band on tour is that it’s all-consuming…you really don’t have time or energy for anything…

Well, here I am in Victoria. Or perhaps I should say here WE are because there is a fair entourage on the road this trip. Lori is with me and Rich has his wife Mary-Lynn and daughter Holly. We have…

Lyle died last night. 

It’s been a couple of hours since we heard. 

It’s been about 24 hours since we saw him last. 

Lori and I had discussed on Sunday whether to wait until Easter for a…

Yesterday Lori and I went to Kelowna for our friend Lyle’s 99 birthday party. It was the second one he’s had since the weekend. For the first one, which was held on Sunday, he was treated to a belly dance…

I’ve been sore for a week. Sore, as in spasming lower back and aching between the shoulder blades. These symptoms are not new to me; I’ve had lots of muscle strains and skeletal misalignments over the course of my years…

Let’s see now…what’s on my mind today? Hmmm…? 

Nothing much really…I mean I did watch the Trumpster on tv last eve and I admit to being somewhat perplexed by the circus that the State of the Union address seems…

Lori and I went to Kelowna yesterday on the news that an old friend/distant relative of hers had taken ill and was in hospital. We had gotten word that it was serious and so we headed out first thing.
