About Me



I'm a Phoenix in the midst of a slow, creeping burn.


The road to Calgary was crawling with semis; moving loads from one mostly uninhabited place to another, mostly uninhabited, place.

Banff. Every glimpse is a postcard. It's almost as though it was planned by some marketing agency.

They say the water in Banff looks like the ocean because it's stained with the minerals of the mountians.

Pass-a-Grille, voluptuous before the storm.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Music:

The Honesty Project

While most of us claim to belong to one religion or another, does religion dictate our faith?If we don't have religion, does that mean we don't believe in God?I set out to explore the nature of spirituality by asking people with a wide variety of beliefs and from disparate backgrounds, to share with us their responses to several questions, including:Do you believe in God? If so, what is the nature of God? Do you believe humans have an innate sense of right and wrong?It seems that, no matter how we label ourselves, our views are more similar than they are different.

Books:

Not reading a lot of fiction these days. Sticking to news magazines (Newsweek, Salon, The Economist, etc.) and leftwing hysteria sites on the web.
My current favourite is Crooks and Liars, but I love Huffington Post, too.

Heroes:

My mother. She raised two children alone, and she did it with aplomb. She's brilliant, witty and fun to be around well into her seventies.
I'm lucky to have her in my life.

My Blog

My Letter to Time: WTF? William Kristol?!

I wrote the following to Time Magazine a couple of weeks ago, in response to a piece by Bill Kristol that was so shockingly head-up-the-ass I couldn't not say something: Dear Editor:Any time&nbs...
