Here’s Gill with some thoughts on Remembrance Day and a word of thanks for a veteran in her family. When people talk today a wide range of emotions will be brought to the surface. Some will be angry, others numb, others will show gratitude, and still others will reflect. I asked my own mother yesterday …

In Memoriam
Gill has written in with a tribute to a woman who meant quite a bit to her. I knew her too though it’s safe to say not as well, and she was indeed a very nice lady. I can’t believe it’s been 15 years. The time, it flies. I think back on this date to …
What’s In A Name
Gill has written in again, but this time not with anything nearly as out there or controversial as last time. This time she’s talking about names. I’m not sure I entirely understand what her point is, but I also have a headache that’s making me feel a little dizzy and unfocussed this morning, so maybe …
What Are You Fighting For
Here’s another guest submission from Gill. this one’s a touch pessimistic and unhinged for my taste, but I don’t have to necessarily endorse something in order to post it. Diversity of voices and all that. So take it away, Gill. And don’t be surprised if this one opens you up to a bit of slow …
A Trixter Update
Another guest post, this time from Brother Brad who wrote in to let everyone know how Trixie is doing. It has been a while since I wrote about everyone’s favourite retired guide dog, Trixie. Rest assured, I sincerely apologize for this great injustice, and will now grace you with such a post. It is hard …
Parental Quirks
It’s time for another guest post from Gill. At this rate, she’s going to have more posts here than I do. They are the givers of life, love, food, money, advice, discipline. We admire them when we are small, cringe at those embarrassing things they do when we are teenagers, and maybe laugh at it …
They’re Coming! They’re Coming!
I’m imagining a time in the not so distant future when I accidentally introduce something I’ve written myself as if Gill wrote it. This is not yet that time, because this is yet another contribution from her. On this date in 1938 the masses gathered around their radios, for the usual Sunday night after dinner …
Decoding A Childhood Story
Once again, here’s Gill with a guest post. I think I’m going to start calling her Guest Posting Gill. Do you ever remember hearing the story of the ugly duckling and the beautiful swan? Have you ever actually sat down and thought about what true beauty is? Lets take the ugly duckling for instance. Ugly …
Turning 34
I think Gill may need her own blog at this point. She just sent this in to wish herself a happy birthday. Happy birthday from us here, too. In ancient times 34 was similar to that of 100 today, meaning it was a rare milestone, and few reached it. Flash forward to the world of …
Who Inspires You
Gill has decided to write yet another guest post. I like guest posts because they can sometimes offer different perspectives on things we’ve covered or explore topics we would neverhave thought about on our own, which is great. More voices is a good thing, as I like to say. I also like them because they …
