It was many years ago when I returned home on a Saturday afternoon to see that our neighbor’s home had a scaffold in the driveway with the top of the scaffold just below their living room window. To describe the scene properly, their driveway led to a garage which was below the living room. The scaffold

This is an excerpt from the Chapter called ‘The Mainland’ in a book I wrote back in 2004. Most of our trip to the mainland has been forgotten except for our trip to Fundy National Park. The Bay of Fundy is like a funnel open to the sea. When the tide comes in the water

A World War II Spitfire pilot is speaking in a church and reminiscing about his war experiences. “In 1942,” he says, “the situation was really tough. The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember,” he continues, “one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these Fokkers appeared.”
It was the perfect storm. I’m laying in bed, heading for sleep and I think about a seventy-seven-year-old veteran who is being helped by the VA. Help, being the operative word. I had just been thanked for going the extra mile by a buyer at the VA, I had been helping the veteran by ensuring
