First post of the new year

Its the new year and I thought I would write what I thought so far of it. Its cold outside. And windy. Put the two together, and it makes for not so fun times waiting for public transit after a night of revelling.

New Year's Eve wasn't anything special. I went to work, I worked... and after work, I hung around the office for quite a while, took a nap and then went to a co-worker's house party. It was pretty decent, with beer (home brewed and otherwise), sparkling wine and one very large red headed and red bearded person who shook up and poured sparkling wine over everyone's coats. Nut.

Anyway, Happy New Year dear reader(s). Lets hope it sucks less than the last one. And god willing, I'll be home.

Happy Birthday Canada

I have celebrated more than 20 Canada Days in Canada. While this nation is far from perfect and we have so much further to go, there is hope. We are a nation, at 153, looking at the future with a mixed record: we have immense prosperity, peace, safety and a relatively good standard of living for most . We are welcoming to immigrants, refugees and guarantee people with a wide range of rights. We are a leader in respecting people's human rights and punch above our weight internationally. We are also a country that is in the midst of a reckoning right now. We have systemic racism, we are at war with the environment - we are actively digging things out of the ground to sell to the rest of the world. Climate change is ravaging our country - we have floods, fires and drought. Our past and present deeds towards indigenous people is shameful. We have a long way to go yet, but there is hope. In the midst of a pandemic, with social upheaval to correct past wrongs, or at least make amen...

Thoughts on the new year

A year and a bit later

It has indeed been a while since I wrote anything of note. Not because I don't have so much to say. Not because I didn't want to. I just decided that it was better to try and live rather than write about it. So what have I learned? Some people are incredible at this life thing. Me, not so much. I am living life well enough. Successes, failures, trial and tribulations. Most of it is fun. I still do what I do, and I enjoy it for the most part. Now, I am hoping to get back to writing more. Writing all kinds of things that I have somehow given up on doing. Let's see if that really happens.
