A perfect day, and I’ve had them before, almost always contains a visit to Baked Café. Some days I just come to sit on the black couches and look out the windows at Whitehorse going by. Sometimes I bring a book to read. Sometimes I plan official meetings there. Other times I arrange to meet [...]

Eisenhower and Churchill: UFO cover up? Leave a comment
Released in a wave of declassified UFO documents in England comes this gem: that Eisenhower and Churchill purposely covered up UFOs. There was a short time in US history where talking about UFOs wasn’t censored–especially the military. People in the military left and right were commenting on “saucers” and technology from “Mars”–and then, it’s said [...]
Howls and Hell Yeahs: The Celebration of the Life of Reid A. Parent 2 comments
I just returned from a beautiful service honouring the life of Reid A. Parent, a 25 year old man who touched the lives of tons of people before his untimely death in a car accident. Reid was the main speaker at the event. His words were all over the program–several of his journal entries revealed [...]
For the Love of Whitehorse: Why I Live in the Wilderness City 6 comments
Occasionally, people will ask me why I’m here. They don’t mean I should leave– only what it is that keeps me here. It’s good to think about why you live in the place you do. You can always say that work brought you here, or love, or you were raised here, or it’s all you [...]
UFOlogy in the Yukon: What’s Going On Up There? 2 comments
My article on Ufology in the Yukon appears now in Yukon, North of Ordinary. The magazine is the inflight mag of Air North, one of the finest airlines. I love Air North for its service, the fact that I know all the flight attendants, and for the Midnight Sun coffee and the cheesecake. I’m proud [...]
The Laramie Project Shows Stunning Ensemble Work 1 comment
This is my review from What’s Up Yukon. 5 out of 5 Stars I gave Justine Davidson, the theatre reviewer for the Whitehorse Star, a long hug at the end of The Laramie Project, the Guild Society/GALA play. Both of us were near tears. She said over my shoulder, “Does this mean it’s good when the [...]
Rocketfuel Ignites Imaginations, the Yukon News story on my class 1 comment
My most excellent class of writers is the subject of a Yukon News article below. These writers are an awesome group of imaginateurs. I’m impressed, especially, with how they conducted themselves in an interview–thoughtful, insightful, well-read, interesting and interested in each other. Love to start a book club with them! Article is by [...]

The Enchanted North: the Art of Nathalie Parenteau 4 comments
When I see Nathalie Parenteau’s art, it makes me feel as if I’m seeing what I would be seeing if I had enchanted glasses. I like her animals–how they run wild through the colors, and even when they stand still, their reflections run rivulets of Fantasy to the bottom of the image. I love the [...]
