Stuff I Learned Yesterday

Today I will once again be talking about change, but not the kind that you can carry around in your pocket. I’ve spoken about change a few times on this podcast, and I expect that it will be a topic that will continue to be a point of discussion with some regularity. Why? Because change is inevitable. It affects all of us in various ways at various times, and it continues to be a relevant topic.

Today’s focus will be this very podcast. That’s right, Stuff I Learned Yesterday is just as susceptible to change as anything else is. Read More...

My dad is 88 years old and still independent. He still drives his car, and he still lives in the house we bought back in 1979 when my family moved back to Ontario.

But not for long.

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behaviour that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behaviour is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumours, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.

It's this last part I want to touch on today. "Excluding someone from a group on purpose." This part is a bit of a grey area. How exactly does it work? Read More...

Football. It’s a sport that many of us love to watch, and some of us even enjoy playing. It’s a game that inspires kids to imagine themselves as their favorite player making the catch to win the game, or shaking off tacklers as they score the winning touchdown. With mimicked sounds of the crowd going wild, they spike the ball and imagine themselves getting carried off the field on the shoulders of their teammates.

When I was a kid, I didn’t like football. I didn’t like watching it, and I didn’t even like playing it. My brother was the opposite. He was obsessed with all sports and spent all his time tossing balls and playing as many sports as he could. And my brother LOVED OU football. Read More...

OK, I'm going to get on a soapbox here. I'm fed up with the lack of patience in the world. Why does everybody have to be in such a rush?

When did it become normal to get honked at, flipped the bird at or plain outright cursed at, just for driving the posted speed limit? I'm no saint. I often drive 10 to 15 kilometres over the speed limit and yet I'm still passed by more cars than ones that I pass myself. What is so important that people need to get to so fast? Read More...

Today I want to continue my November series of gratitude by talking about why I am thankful for education. I think all of us here in the united states and in developed countries all around the world should be grateful that we have access to very good schools that are easy to get to, provide a high level of education, and prepare us for the future. There are children all of the earth that do not have ample schools readily available, so we should always be grateful for what we have. Read More...
