  • AND THEY WONDER WHY WE THINK THEY LIE 28 November 2025
    Industrial and petro giants ignoring global warming in the name of profit, AI developers rating speed over consequences and more than a few  billionaires, have one thing in common: none of them seem acquainted with the Scriptures, or The Who  and think we aren’t either. The scriptural lesson is Matthew 7:16, “By their deeds you […]
  • REFLECTIONS ON A SUPPOSED TIPPING POINT 21 November 2025
    A  puzzling and amusing aspect of getting “old”, is that there’s  apparently an exact point when the “age is just a number” nonsense becomes a milestone at which you need stuff you didn’t know you needed before then. The day before I turned 79, the advertising on social media I browse changed from the usual […]
  • WHEN ABSURDITY PASSES FOR WISDOM 14 November 2025
    On levels ranging from the potentially existential to laughable, the state of the world can be summed up  this week in  one word: ABSURD (noun)…”the state or condition in which human beings exist in an irrational and meaningless universe.”  The most important and on a subject matter level, least deserving of the categorisation, is the […]
  • COULDN’T HELP MYSELF, BELIEVE IT OR NOT 7 November 2025
    Re-immersing in news after a week off for travel, I stumbled into a story that could have come straight from “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!”, the now more than 100 year-old cartoon that specialises in things so strange, readers doubt their veracity. Hence this open letter to the new CBS News Editor-in-Chief.… Read the rest […]
  • A TIMELY NATURAL BREAK FROM TROUBLED TIMES 24 October 2025
    As no doubt are most of us, I’m more than sick of the abhorrent messes that plague the world. Therefore, instead of screeds of smug, scolding verbiage, this last blog of  the year from the prism of my kayak, will endeavour to share the wisdom of Hippocrates: “Nature itself is the best physician.”… Read the […]
  • ABSOLUTELY IS ABSOLUTELY APPLICABLE 17 October 2025
    Intoning “absolutely” as a response to a statement or question has become as ubiquitous and irritating as scattering “like” in sentences. However, its inclusive definition of “without exception, doubt or reservation”,  is an ideal summation of the intractable “thinking” that plagues our times. What passes for reasoning on the extremes of the socio-political divide, for […]
  • NOBEL NOT YET, ANTITHESIS LONG OVERDUE 10 October 2025
    Acclaiming what  amounts to a ceasefire in Gaza as potentially (or definitively) worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize before it becomes a signed-by-all-sides peace agreement, is premature. It also threatens to subsume what the very suggestion makes clear should be awarded: an Ignoble Indifference-to-Peace Prize. There are so many candidates that it would be easier […]
  • NATURE ALTERS APACE, HUMANS RACE TO RUIN 3 October 2025
    Sliding quietly along the shoreline of a lake created 12,000 years ago, when the last Ice Age retreated, brings the difference between change caused by natural process, and that wreaked by human folly, into baffling focus. When the forces of Nature reshape the world  they create things that even when stark, are beautiful.… Read the […]
  • FALL COLOUR CALM IN A COARSE WORLD 26 September 2025
    In this part of Canada, you don’t need a calendar to know autumn has officially arrived. Pretty much every conversational encounter with a local incudes an opinion or speculation on how colourful the leaves will be this year, and whether climate change will have an effect. Predictions range from muted to more vibrant than usual.… […]
  • MOCKERY MIGHT BE MIGHTIER THAN MALICE 19 September 2025
    Railing against the idiocy and iniquities of  pusillanimous media barons, shameless political opportunists and the perpetrators of the abomination of the war in Gaza having had little to no effect, it’s time to deploy what they fear most — mockery. The potential efficacy of that is manifestly evident in ABC’s firing of Jimmy Kimmel, an […]
