Exploro: July 2009
http://exploro.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Sisyphus from my sliding-door window. Or so it seemed to me. I dashed for my camera. Long lens — check — before I hurried back to capture the moment. I quietly pressed the shutter. Gotcha. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Exploro: November 2010
http://exploro.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 11, 2010. While most people were sitting at home, enjoying their dinner, young cadets stood guard at the Cenotaph in London's Victoria Park. It was a bitter cold night on November 10th. Nearby stood a lone man with a camera strapped around his neck. He hates the cold," the father said of his son standing guard. "And he doesn't quite understand why he volunteered to do Remembrance. Duty But he knows he had family in the War. In Holland.". Ya know what the travesty is? Links to this post.

Monday, July 26, 2010. Then again, not so much. Sometimes the message and the medium don't mix, regardless of context. Under the banner of Grace Church Christian Reformed, I read: "Well, it is a whole lot better than shooting each other.". Sure, the message grabbed my attention. Not because of what the sign said, but because I wondered if there wasn't a better way to say it. Is that what it takes now? Links to this post. Links to this post. Thursday, July 15, 2010.

Exploro: August 2009
http://exploro.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 22, 2009. Call it writer's block. Effects from an accident. Until recently, I waited for a physical from my new family physician. It was tough enough to find a doctor in my new home town — a small city in southwestern Ontario. Last winter, only 10 family physicians showed up in the official Doctor Search. I finally saw Dr. Patel in February. But only to renew my prescriptions. The physical, I was told, would have to wait. Facing another aggression from Ms. Choksi in a subsequent conv...

Sunday, August 15, 2010. It's too darn hot! Church of God, London, Ontario. If the humidity weren't so bad, I could tolerate these 25°C plus heatwaves. But the humidex. Is wringing my patience. Some say the excessive heat is caused by global warming. Dat so? Sizzling rendition of Cole Porter's "It's too darn hot! Note on the link: the video of Ann Miller's dance may be unavailable.).

Exploro: May 2010
http://exploro.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Eighteen months ago, I gingerly changed lanes in heavy traffic on a rainy night. After nearly completing entry, I found an express transit bus of the Toronto Transit Commission scraping my driver's side. I remember my terror; I don't remember the impact to my front wheel well. I do remember the bus rolling a little ahead of me, on a diagonal. It's rear end was still in the left turn lane. Before charging me with careless driving ("You're at fault! The terror of almost losing my lif...

Exploro: September 2009
http://exploro.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 14, 2009. Summer ended before September 12th. But you'd never know it that Sunday afternoon. Unless you felt a difference in the light from the sun. Unless you realized that tobacco-tinged leaves signalled early autumn. Unless you suffered allergies from abundant goldenrods. My feet stamped along a trail. Of packed dirt, knobby roots and river stones around Fanshawe Reservoir. It was a perfect afternoon. The country air smelled, well, wonderful. My thoughts gained a new coherence. Unrec...
