Ruined for Life: April 2014
http://aussiexp.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Figured it might be fun to share the eclectic ramblings of my mind with others - no particular theme - lets just see where this leads. Sunday, April 13, 2014. A walk in the snow. I went for a walk in the gently falling snow. Light, spitting, “popcorn” snow we call it. There is a beautiful stillness in the snow. If we get the 3-6 inches forecasted, then noise gets soaked up as though the snow were a sponge. I thought about a lot of things as I walked. I thought about Palm Sunday a few years back – w...

Ruined for Life: June 2013
http://aussiexp.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Figured it might be fun to share the eclectic ramblings of my mind with others - no particular theme - lets just see where this leads. Saturday, June 29, 2013. Many sides to every story. I find time to read, an old familiar pastime too often elusive these recent years. I just finished a fascinating book providing a history of an Apache massacre. Before you misread that, this was a massacre of approximately 150 Apache people - many women and children. Let is wash over your soul. Between accounts; by disco...

Ruined for Life: We All Should be Feminists.
http://aussiexp.blogspot.com/2014/03/we-all-should-be-feminists.html
Figured it might be fun to share the eclectic ramblings of my mind with others - no particular theme - lets just see where this leads. Saturday, March 8, 2014. We All Should be Feminists. Here’s the thing – this only tangible linkage between this post and International Women’s Day is that the NPR piece that got me thinking MAY. Have been on air yesterday in some may marking this day. Because at the root of it all, the message is still about “being hot”. 8211; just doing it one way versus another. I was d...

Ruined for Life: October 2013

Figured it might be fun to share the eclectic ramblings of my mind with others - no particular theme - lets just see where this leads. Tuesday, October 15, 2013. Beware the quiet one…. A little something I shared at out family celebration honouring our Jillian who turned 16 today! Illy is our baby – and so it is a little hard reaching this point. In a couple of days she will most likely get her drivers license and will become even more independent. We have so many fond memories of Jilly. This has sometim...

Ruined for Life: January 2015
http://aussiexp.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Figured it might be fun to share the eclectic ramblings of my mind with others - no particular theme - lets just see where this leads. Sunday, January 11, 2015. Does god have favorites when it comes to football? So a good friend of mine posts this meme this morning – not just any friend mind you, but a pastor and a really – a good Christian man. And once there, surrounded by a sea of orange – I began to ponder – what exactly does god think about all this. And then there’s the whole praying thing on...

Ruined for Life: February 2015
http://aussiexp.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Figured it might be fun to share the eclectic ramblings of my mind with others - no particular theme - lets just see where this leads. Friday, February 27, 2015. Children of a Lesser God. Increasingly I find that more and more of my friends are not like me. This I think is a good thing. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned to let go of the certainty of my own opinions. More simply – I’ve learned to listen. I could say perhaps that listening leads to understanding… not so. Take the news one morning this week.

Figured it might be fun to share the eclectic ramblings of my mind with others - no particular theme - lets just see where this leads. Monday, March 9, 2015. From a Father of Girls - International Women’s Day 2015. A good friend of mine who writes both better and more than I do to a much wider audience decided that something she said a few years ago on this subject was worth recycling. And she was right – you should read it now – even if you happened to have read it two years ago. Too right I’m pro...

Ruined for Life: Christmas 2014
http://aussiexp.blogspot.com/2015/01/christmas-2014.html
Figured it might be fun to share the eclectic ramblings of my mind with others - no particular theme - lets just see where this leads. Saturday, January 10, 2015. So I haven't written much of late - at least not on paper - it is what it is. As has been my tradition however, I generally share my efforts at keeping friends and family informed with our annual Christmas missive. Which this year was actually more of a New Years letter - it is what it is. In Estes Park. The focus is now firmly on the next ...

Figured it might be fun to share the eclectic ramblings of my mind with others - no particular theme - lets just see where this leads. Thursday, August 22, 2013. Yes, you heard me – Ronald Reagan was right…. 8220;We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the law-breaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.”. Ronald Reagan; July 31, 1968. But here’s the thing. But can their lives ever be the same? Will ...
