I have no idea if you’ve ever heard of the Seekers. Or if you have, do you know more than two songs of theirs. If you don’t… that’s a shame. Because the vocal harmonies of the Seekers have an essence and a sound all their own. For example, check out their first big hit, “I’ll…

I need some peace and tranquility in my life. We all do. In 2005, when I attended my 20th reunion of the Class of 1985 at Hamilton College, I took some moments of peace and silence and wandered through the college’s arboretum, the Root Glen. I was in a dark place in my life at…

I have friends who are runners. Michele Poole has participated in twenty-one consecutive Freihofer’s Run for Women races, and I suspect she’ll be there for her twenty-second race. My trivia team buddy Jeremy McNamara has run half-marathons and triathlons, and he’s currently in training to participate in another triathlon later this year. I have Facebook…

It’s Monday, around noon, and I’m at the Charlton Plaza on the Massachusetts Turnpike, on my way home from vacation. On my trip back from New Brunswick, I passed through about seven miles of New Hampshire – the seven miles of highway that stretch from Maine to Massachusetts. Driving break time, and I pulled into…

Ah, the wonderful world of travel. Getting in the car and driving long, long distances. But then comes the hard part. Driving home. The vacation was fun, the time spent was fantastic, and I know that I have to get back to the working world. Driving home, however, means that I get to see my…

Yes, I’m still up here in beautiful Saint John, New Brunswick. On moments when I’m not watching the NBL Canada All-Star Skills Competition, I’m walking around downtown, looking for cool things to photograph. And I found a couple of “things,” and I wanted to share them with you today. Apparently Saint John has a “ghost…

Talk about an experience. Last night, I drove nearly three hours from Saint John, N.B. to Summerside, Prince Edward Island, to watch Game 4 of the NBL Canada championship best-of-five series between the Summerside Storm and the London (Ont.) Lightning. London was already up 2-1 in the series, so Game 4 would either mean a…

So my buddy and blog-reader Chad9976 asked me if I wanted to participate in another one of his Wreckless Eating / Cult Moo / McFrankenfoods challenges – you know, the ones where you have to eat some McDonald’s menu item in some weird way. Ahh, what the heck. “Meet me at my place,” he said. …

While I’m enjoying my weekend in New Brunswick, I decided to take some pictures at Saints’ Rest Beach and McLarens Beach, which is only a few miles – er, kilometers – from my hotel. It means getting up at 5:00 a.m. – oh wait, that’s Atlantic time, which means I’m really getting up at 4:00…
Read MoreJohn Lennon’s greatest gift to us all… imagination.
I’ve closed my eyes and let my imagination take me to a million different worlds, a million different lifetimes, adventures beyond the stars and wonders throughout time. It’s the ability to use my imagination – and, from those moments of thought and contemplation and reflection, build upon my life – that I feel has been…
