Another Perfect Father's Day
This past week I attended ideaCity, Moses Znaimer’s wonderful thoughts and ideas conference that takes place annually around this time of year.

Continuing On and on, one hopes!
My sons's wedding is over. It was a wonderful and fun time in Vancouver. Yesterday's Rotary Fest in Chemainus was fun but certainly not profitable. It was meant to be a family time with artists of all description there to add zest. I sold one card. That's it.
Julie, fellow Zoomer and I have our strange illness in… Continue
