Bruce there it is...

Bruce there it is...

A priest's reflection on the dismissal of the Vancouver Canucks' coach by Stephen Rowe

I confess it took me a while to discover the NHL after we came to Canada over 20 years ago. But for a long while now I have followed with keen interest the ups, and mainly downs, of the Vancouver Canucks. When Bruce Boudreau (the former coach) was hired last season things got better and the crowd started the chant ‘Bruce there it is’ when things were going well. Aside from some great games, this season has not gone well … but that is not my point.

Keeping Old Skills Alive

Keeping Old Skills Alive

The Art of Reading Books by Hannah Main-van der Kamp

A POWER OUTAGE! Imagine: there’s no power and so, no light no heat.  This is before WiFi and before digital gadgets. But it’s not too cold to have a flashlight under the covers and an open book. Do you sense a little stir of nostalgia, longing for that young bibliophile you once were?

Sacred Heart

Sacred Heart

Herbert O'Driscoll

A moment's carelessness on a wet lakeside dock, a tumble and there was a broken wrist. After an X-ray it was found I would need a general anaesthetic, so I had to do all the things that line one up for the operation table.
