Thursday Tidbits

Remembrance Day is fast approaching and I have penned a piece for The Highland Heart, an excellent local paper. I found this  very challenging. It’s not that I am out of my comfort zone writing about serious stuff. Anything that is written about war is bound to evoke a wide range of opinions. Trying to honor war vets and trying to avoid glorifying war is a tough piece of work. I believe that most of us appreciate the sacrifices made in the name of freedom, but as my piece says, there are ” no winners” in war. The article will be published this Friday, the 8th. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Every story I write has the potential to offend somebody and next week’s Casket story is one that is fraught with danger. I am tackling the Senate. Not necessarily the Senate scandal but more about the institution itself and to some extent, Parliament . This is not a politically motivated story but just a commentary on the sad state of affairs we find ourselves in this country. “Something Smells” will also appear on my website Tuesday evening. ( 12th. )

On a more cheerful note,  I have a few stories ready to go and will have something fresh for you this weekend.

Oh yes. I went shopping today. Me. Len MacDonald. Shopping. Rarely are those words uttered in the same sentence. I bought a bathing suit. Well, that’s not totally honest. I acquired a bathing suit today. Coming soon… “Swimming With The Tide.”

Have a great weekend.
