The Situation of my Mother with Alzheimer and Dementia

The Situation of my Mother with Alzheimer and Dementia

The Situation of My Mother with Alzheimer and Dementia. Doug, my mom’s husband/my step-father, collected me from the mall.  He told me that he barely recognized me when he first saw me because of my short hair.  Doug then drove me to see my mother at the care-home where she stays.  The home was having a hot dog and hamburger sale so entire families were there to be with their loves ones who have been institutionalised… I was not sure how...

Earth Revolutions

My Earth Revolutions

Earth Revolutions. Maybe it is common knowledge but perhaps it is not… I have been thinking about this for the past couple of days and it is likely that no one has had to think about it unless it has happened to them… When you fly around this planet from east to west, you lose a day of your life when you cross the International Date Line. One day full of your life! Poof! Gone! Somewhere between Canada and Australia...

Regina to Sundre: A Gal I Grew Up With

Regina to Sundre: A Gal I Grew Up With. September 8. Coincidences are cool.  A couple of days ago when Bean, Fiona, her parents and I were in Montana’s Cookhouse, I ran into a friend from home named Lynette.  She told me she had been visiting our friend Priscilla Tames who was down.  I grew up with Priscilla.  When they sold their farm my brother bought it.  We were like family as kids. I called Priscilla and jumped in her...

Regina – Sex at Dawn - Part II

Regina – Sex at Dawn – Part II

September 7. Life is quieter in Regina than I ever remember it being.  I guess that is due to aging process?  In any case it has given me time to read, a luxury I do not seem to have enough time to enjoy.  So, I am back to ‘Sex at Dawn – The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality.’  This is Part II of fascinating things on sexuality through the ages. Sex at Dawn – The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality...

Regina: ♫All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down…♫

Regina: ♫All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down…♫ September 6.   Fiona’s parents came to town today.  So, a girl from Scotland who I met in New Orleans who came to Big Beaver, who fell in love with my friend and moved to Regina, had her parents come to visit her.  Bean and I had met them in Glasgow in January, so it was interesting to see them in Regina.  From what I have seen, Fiona and her parents seem...

Regina – Beer Dog

Regina – Beer Dog

Regina – Beer Dog. September 5 Beaner told me that stench is added to propane because it is actually odourless.  That is my interesting fact of the day.  I wonder how it was agreed on what the international stench added would smell like.  Perhaps someone create a smell and everyone said, “This scent furthermore will represent propane and will never represent anything else.  Hereto, all propane processed on earth will have this specific smell added to its gastric compound.”  That...

Regina – Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality

Sept 4 It was a lazy one today.  Most of it was spent most of it reading.  This blog entry is a little different as I have taken some very interesting parts out a book called, ‘Sex at Dawn – The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality.’  These are just some fascinating things that I read that should be shared! Sex at Dawn – The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality Christopher Ryan, PhD, and Cacilda Jethá, MD. Published by ‘free-eBooks.net’  ...

Regina: Checking the Oil

Regina: Checking the Oil

Regina: Checking the Oil. September 3. Today was time for a full STI check.  I call it checking the oil.  I have no concerns.  It is just time to have the oil checked.  I showed up at the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Clinic as a ‘walk-in.’  Time to look under the hood.  I was the last guy to get in for checking the oil.  A pretty girl about my age took me into her office.  I have always thought about how...

Regina: Potential Broken Gl-asses

Regina: Potential Broken Gl-asses

Regina: Potential Broken Gl-asses. September 2.  Dan told me that one time he was in Bismark, North Dakota.  He was filling up with gas and realized that he could save $0.04 a gallon if he was part of the armed forces.  So, when he went in to pay, he showed the person behind the counter his ‘Safeway’ club card.  He told them that it was his card because he is part of the armed forces in Canada.  That saved him...

Regina: ♫Road Tripping with Two of My Favorite Allies…♫

Regina: ♫Road Tripping with Two of My Favorite Allies…♫ September 1.   A welder friend of Dan’s told him that metal in the 1980’s was way better than it is today.  The metal that is made today is not very good.  That is interesting because he could be talking about music. Dan, Bean, Fiona and I went road tripping to Parry to Bean’s farm to drop off a truck load of things he has collected that he calls ‘treasures’ and...

Big Beaver to Regina: Labour Day Party

Big Beaver to Regina: Labour Day Party

Big Beaver to Regina: Labour Day Party. August 31. 5:20am is too early for any human to have to be awake.  But I had to tie up a few loose ends with packing before dad drove me to meet Travis and Kellen at the Harptree grid just south of Bengough.  I said goodbye to pa and then Travis and I had an awesome visit all the way to Regina.  It is very nice to be around him. In Bengough at...

Big Beaver – Something in the Air

Big Beaver – Something in the Air

Big Beaver – Something in the Air. Aug 26. Something crazy is going on… My friend Fiona is from Scotland and I met her in New Orleans, Louisiana.  She ended up in Regina, Saskatchewan, because when we were partying in New Orleans in June of last year, I invited her and her friend to our family centennial farm party in Big Beaver, Saskatchewan.  Unbelievably, her and her friend came.  At our farm centennial, Fiona met my friend Beaner, lust overtook...

New York City to Regina – Aguardiente in Canadiana

New York City to Regina: Aguardiente in Canadiana

New York City to Regina – Aguardiente in Canadiana. August 19. A little over an hour of sleep is not enough.  I require more.  I got out of bed, grabbed my backpack, said goodbye to Julia and her cat and headed for the airport.  I would have liked to have spent a lot more time in that bed.  Julia is pretty, has an amazing body, is a great person to spend time with and has a laugh that will recharge...
