Thoughts for an autumn evening

Hello, Some things for you to think about over coffee or tea. Keep in touch. D

Feature article shared: Welcome back Polaroid. Perhaps my favourite form of photography.

IMPORTANT sidenote: My love and prayers are with a good friend as she recovers in hospital from one of life's curveballs. A fighter, an inspiration and an amazing woman she truly is...Thinking about you, cups of coffee, laughter and all our amazing conversations, Shannon Bow. Read her story.

i. The UQAM welcome wagon. 172 communications students make a music video to convince students that their college is a good one. Great initiative.

ii. What? Beijing was awarded the Olympics thanks to corrupt IOC and Chinese bureaucrats?... I would have never guessed that one.

iii. We put up a brick wall to stop the Nazis from finding and drinking all the top vintages, and in turn, forgot about the pre-French Revolution Cognacs. Wish I was bidding in this wine auction.

iv. Eat local, yet drink European in... of all places: San Francisco. The Pour.

Forgot to post these. Some days I still write a thing or two. October news stories for the Calgary Journal.
a. An end to homelessness in Calgary within a decade?

b. Calgary's East Village finally gets some guidance for the painful overhaul.

c. My Opinion and the plan's Details.

Also found tonight; for your reading and mind-expanding pleasure...

v. Congress votes to ship out Guantanamo inmates, as Obama promised. That's worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize, no?

vi. Beijing power, industry, green shift. China. On economic re-shuffles and taking over the world.

So let me get this straight-you get paid to winter in Glasgow (yuk!) and get paid to read and watch stuff from all over the world which you post to your blog. You must have had some excellent teachers in your youthto have figured out the system so well.

Nice to hear from you

While I have figured out a few things, I have yet to receive payment for any work in Glasgow or with this blog. I wish!
