Over the weekend I was sliding through some social media and saw a video of a couple of people bragging about being the first to be fishing out on the ice. It struck me as being kind of dumb, for lack of a better word. I know it’s been cold […]
I am hoping that everyone took the time to attend a Remembrance Day Service on Monday to honour all those that have fought for us and are still doing this. It is difficult to complain about the cold day when you think of all that these men and women have […]

Combines were running, manure was getting spread and some field work was accomplished. Of course, it is never enough time and we were all hoping and wishing for “just […]
There is an artistic beauty in mathematics that both calms my soul and feeds my enthusiasm. I don’t often share my opinion on the subject of mathematics with those around me, because my words are often met with harsh contrariness. I love mathematics, truly love it, and I cannot remember […]
One of the perks to my job is that I get to visit a lot of places. I really enjoy getting to fish new bodies of water and see different parts of North America. That being said, the time away from home and all the driving that I do during […]
