Last weekend I popped up to see friends, and on Friday we went to pick up my friend’s son at grundschule – elementary school. I think that it was my first time inside an elementary school in years – to be honest I cannot remember the last time I was inside one – and it […] Back in October, while visiting my family, I picked up a small stack of random mail that had some how found my Mom’s mailbox instead of my mailbox. And by mail, I mean actual letters, delivered by a friendly person in a uniform. One letter I received was from Wyoming Public Media: Dear Adam, […] Another Christmas has rolled around – so to those of you of that particular faith tradition, Merry Christmas! In the run up to this year’s celebration, I decided not to inflate my Christmas tree, instead opting to have a Spartan display consisting of a Christmas Tea Towel. But at the same time friends sent me […] I lost my father five years ago this coming February – this is not something I actually spend a great deal of time dwelling upon, but rather he comes to mind at some of the oddest moments.

With distance – both in terms of time (16 years […] I’m nearing the end of my time in Montreal – it’s been a lovely few days with some nice art discoveries (Kent Monkman — I saw another one of his works today), nice long walks, and some good food. This is not actually my first time in Montreal – in fact, Montreal was the first […] Sometimes, when I hope people aren’t listening, I would sing to myself a song that I remember from my childhood — a promotional song for Star Trek (TOS) reruns. Somehow YouTube’s algorithms pulled it up and put it in my recommended viewing list. I probably shouldn’t post it here. But I am. […] Back in September while visiting my Mom, there was a brief conversation about how times have changed – with respect to women. She observed that when she got married to my Dad that she adopted his name – and I do not just mean his surname, but his full name. When she filled out mail […] |
