Social Distancing

Posted onOctober 26, 2021October 26, 2021Authorgarry.c.stewartLeave a comment

One of the few things I actually like that has come about because of Covide-19, social distancing. I’ve never been a fan of large crowds or being pressed together in a line to get into or out of some venue with a bunch of strangers. I need my space. So, being spaced out is quite Read More …

Gin and Tonic that is! This is a memory from my teenage years while at our cottage on Brereton Lake in the Whiteshell. It was the custom at the time when families got to gather for dinner that there would be a cocktail hour. I suspect that I was underage but my parents allowed it Read More …

This is The Piano. It’s been in our home for over 20 years now and yesterday it gave me a very bitter sweet surprise. When I first met The Piano it was in the home of family friends, the McKenzies, who lived on Niakwa Road. Our families would visit back and forth over the years Read More …

The Wake

It’s a calm clear morning. The lake is calm. It’s just as the sun is coming over the horizon. A boat goes by towards Smith Camps. The wake of the boat sends waves out in both directions. Shortly, the boat is gone but the waves still travel outward. Because I’ve passed by this way my Read More …

This weekend, August 28-29, is the 14th annual Princess Margaret Cancer Research Foundation’s Ride to Conquer Cancer and it will be my first. I became aware of this ride while I was in Toronto at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (PMH) receiving CAR-T treatment for lymphoma.

Learn your Greek alphabet

So we’re at “Delta” now (Spring 2021) are you ready for “Epsilon”? With the WHO’s newest naming convention for COVID Variants of Interest (VOI) and Varients of Concern (VOC) and something you don’t hear too much about, Variant of High Consequence (VOHC) we’re going to hear a lot more Greek letter names in the media.

Historic

While the whole Covide-19 pandemic crisis is certainly historic I really got a better sense of this when I was getting vaccinated. Filing into the RBC convention centre with hundreds or perhaps even thousands of other people and watching the co-ordination and effort going into the vaccine process really drove home the magnitude of the Read More …

Tattoos

Test driving a new tattoo today. This was a bit of a random pic but I like the way it represents the sun, mountains, oceans/lakes, and trees/forests all things I like and enjoy, the outdoor life. Next week we will revive the prime candidate for a real tattoo that has a lot of significance to Read More …
