This week you are likely to find a few smaller posts on here. I’m working on a longer piece but it’s not ready yet.

I’ll start with a neat surprise I got this past Sunday evening. On Friday I learned that one of my favourite local musicians, John Lindsay-Botten, was putting on a mini-concert at his church, Knox United, in Sackville. About 10 years ago John used to be the Music Director at my church and personally I still very much miss John’s musical quality and standards. He’s top notch by any measuring stick.

So of course, I was going to do my darnedest to get to the event. The first effort this took (after checking to see if Kelly was up for an adventure – which she almost always is unless she’s not feeling well) was to get to Sackville.

Anyone who knows me knows I am no fan of our parallel transit system for people with disabilities, so I instead use our Low Floor buses. They’re awesome! John had said that the #80 bus goes right by Knox and that info gave me a fair bit of confidence for my first bus run to Sackville. Kelly and I got there hassle free, although it seemed like a significant jaunt. I don’t think I would venture it on my own. On the other hand, knowing me, in the right mood, yeh, I might, if my sense of “ohh what the hell” kicks in.

Shortly after our arrival, I learned that the proceeds from the event will go towards the installation of an elevator/lift, giving access to all floors of the church to anyone with mobility issues. I was so happy to add my tiny drop in their fundraising bucket.

I also want to mention that in addition to my postings on here, I share other items on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Quora, etc. You can find those listed at the bottom of this page.

So enjoy!
