Cop on a beat

Story: I love reflections. Janet was shopping and I was out taking pictures. What an opportunity this was. A blank canvas, with the slightest hint of reflections in the puddles of water. I took a first shot, reset the camera for a second slightly different angle. As soon [...]

I was talking with a Creationist a few years ago. It was fascinating. So easy to poke holes in their theories. The other side believes in evolution. It is a sacred cow of sorts. Made me wonder.
Many years ago a single cell organism, left the safety of the the water world and wandered on land. [...]

Some pictures are just weird enough to be kept around for a while.
This is a picture of Devin and Ceilidh swimming at the pool in Heather and Neil’s genteel farm in Caledon.
Obviously no flash was used.

This was a good week overall. A bit of trepidation getting mentally ready for the chemo session. Not sure why there is any trepidation. This has become an almost routine event.
Janet had to work this week, and Devin had to go to his piano lesson. I drove to the hospital for the 10:00AM appointment. Registered. [...]

Time for a bit of Canadiana.
This picture was taken early in the morning on Jack Lake, at Daryl Aitken’s cottage. Daryl and Janet are in the canoe, while I am safely ensconced on the pier taking pictures.

The effects of the blog have been nothing short of amazing.
An acquaintance of Nancy’s wrote at the very beginning thanking me for the blog. Her aunt had cancer [...]

I am late, so very late in keeping this blog up to date. I will make this post an update of two weeks.
You have all read the Euphoria piece in which the cancer cells appear to be retreating before the shock and awe that is chemo. The spell of the good news kept me going [...]

Location: Dana Point, California, 2006
We headed to San Diego for a family reunion. The family on my mothers side. My cousin Ruja lives there. We flew to San Francisco, rented a car, and drove south on the old Highway 1. We planned the trip meticulously. We planned on driving maybe three hours a day, and [...]

The week atrted with the amazing news that led to the Euphoria post. What can top that for the beginning of a week?
Attended two sessions at the Wellspring centre. The first has to do with Brain Fog, the second Q-Gong.
Brain Fog
It turns out that Brain Fog is not restricted to chemo patients. We all have [...]
