Welcome to what purports to be summer in Canada.
We have our days – it gets up to 30C – and MAY hit 40C (without the heat index!)

This week is a little different.Usually, my main subject makes up the bulk of the podcast, but for this episode, my tangent becomes the body. Both are equally important – both are there to educate and both are there to tell stories.

Looking at Milk in bags today.
I didn't put it there – that's just how we purchase our consumable moo juice up here in Canada.
This is taken from an essay that I wrote about, back in August of 2020.
Spoiler alert:
we got our strawberries!

Today, I go back to the roots of what inspired me to do these podcasts.
I'm taking a look at one of the people on my “Canada facts t-shirt”.
Today also happens to be this person's birthday!
Join me as I delve into the life of Michael J. Fox

It is no secret that I speak, travelling from one tangent to another.
I will often lose track of my own thoughts, because I've caught myself on a tangent. It's like going into a room, and forgetting why you are there. Welcome to my mind! Interestingly though, it doesn't really frustrate me – I just ride it like a wave – and this week, I ended up on a great memory.This week, I begin talking about a World War I battle and strategies, go through a remembrance, a haircut, a movie and end up thinking about bedtime stories.

History, as seen from a t-shirt
I have written a lot, especially over the last few years. In 2020, working from home, I began telling everyone about my t-shirts. It was something to do - because I didn't have to commute 90 minutes a day!
The last shirt in that series had a stylized Canadian flag with over 200 people and facts on it.
THAT was my next project.
And that is how you find yourselves here.
Join me, and let's look at
Canada, as I see it.
