My Mom died last Friday.
For nearly a year, she said she just wanted to go to sleep and not wake up, and that’s exactly what happened on the morning of Jan. 13, 2023, so in that way I'm very happy for her.
This was her life:

Is it just me, or are

Seriously, I've noticed this trend, especially in

For me, the best moment of Barnside Harvest Festival was when Dave Genn’s son Beckett joined 54-40 for “Ocean Pearl” as third guitarist.
The look of joy on Beckett’s face is priceless! I was lucky to capture the moment stageside thanks to band manager

I interviewed Caleb not long ago, while he prepped for training camp with WHL’s Edmonton Oil Kings, who picked him 18th overall in Bantam draft two years ago. Such a mature, confident teen. So, so sad.
An update: Sadly, Walter passed away peacefully at around 5 a.m. this morning. My mom sounds relatively strong and determined to get through this, 22 years after my father died, but I really wish I could go hug her today. 😞
Yesterday I donated about $30 in bottles to a guy who looked like he needed it more than I do.
Today, our trampoline was given to a family that is already putting it to much better use.
