I was planning to post up a rather humorous story I wrote yesterday about my experiences living in trailers in Haida Gwaii. However, I’ve decided instead (for now at least) to share some thoughts about education when I was a child. If you’d like to see the trailer story, though, feel . . . → Read More: School Way Back When, When the Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth I love weather! I also love sleeping outside, no matter how windy and rainy it is. I believe this goes back to my earliest days. I was less than a month old when I returned from my summer-holidays birthplace in warm, sunny Summerland BC to our home in the blustery, misty isles of Haida Gwaii . . . → Read More: I love weather! I wrote this in my journal the other day as I sat on the ferry crossing from Vancouver Island to the mainland… I am surprised how “open” the water is here.
