    Mont Rigaud

    by
    November 15, 2020. Cloudy, six degrees, and rain, but we went for a 14.7 hike around the top of Mont Rigaud, which is about an hour east of here, just over the Quebec border on the way to Montreal. The trail was everything I hoped it would be - varied ...

    Charlemagne at the Stairs

    by
    November 14, 2020. We still have the cat-guards on the stair railings, though they're almost too big now to fall through by accident. Now every time I go downstairs at least one cat has to play with me between the balusters. Quiet day, mostly a do-noth...

    November 12, 2020. If you look closely, you can see my reflection in these Christmas decorations at the Shopper's Drug Mart. I think any time before December is too early. Today was a mix of writing, a meeting, and several sessions at the Open Educatio...

    As A Source

    by
    Primary Source: As a primary source for the 90s, Saving Private Ryan works very well.

    Blog Post #5

    The idea that we will one day be able to produce virtually everything for a cheap cost is certainly an enticing prospect. It’s no exactly like that idea is outside of the realm of possibility.
