At first I wasn't sure, but the more I read, the more I like it. It's really very good. I'll read for a bit then I'll sleep, never enough, and get up and have a another day quite like this one. https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/img_2253.jpgIMG_2253This is Hobbes. Got a problem with that? https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/img_2252.jpgIMG_2252The entrance to my apartment building. Sometimes coming home depresses me, some nights I am extremely lonely. But other nights I am relieved to get back here to my own space and have some time to myself. You can't have it both ways, I guess. For the most part, I can live with myself. https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/img_2250.jpgIMG_2250I went for a quick beer and talked about everything under the sun for 44 minutes. I guess I'm an old school 50's guy, I like that happy hour transition from day to evening. Sometimes you are sitting next to a thug, sometimes a saint. You never know, though you may often be deceived. https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/img_2244.jpgIMG_2244I picked up my dry cleaning. The Indian woman in there, Shulli, comes from Tanzania. She was a school teacher but when she got married, she had to work for her husband's company. They sold salt in a small village. Salt, in 100 pound bags. She had to keep track of the bags as they got loaded onto trucks. I like her, although she seems to think that I am a bit lax in attending to my dry cleaning. Now I have my favourite shirt to wear again which is by a company in Amsterdam called Scotch and Soda. I got the shirt for $22.00 at Winners. Life is good. https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/img_2235.jpgIMG_2235I looked up at this big beautiful building where the geniuses congregate to figure out how to get oil out of the ground and further poison the planet. They all drive nice cars. Something is wrong!!https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/img_2245.jpgIMG_2245Caffe Beano where I like to start my day. I write a daily journal usually in the there. Sometimes I talk to friends. Today I talked to a few friends and got about 450 words written in my novel. I don't know why I do that there anymore. It's not like I'm waiting for anything to happen to me. Like a perfect stranger or whatever. Maybe it was about that at one point in time. Now I just find it's a place I can create which is good enough for me. 2025-02-28T18:54:44+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2013/01/30/the-balls-coming-in/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/9378782-a-closeup-of-an-american-football-low-key.jpg9378782-a-closeup-of-an-american-football-low-key2016-01-27T17:54:14+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2013/01/21/for-what-its-worth/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/photo.jpgphotoThe Royal Arrow circa 1941 as used by Hemingway and Ian Fleming.2013-01-22T19:11:23+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2013/01/13/critical-mass/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/p1070298.jpgP1070298https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/p1070297.jpgP1070297https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/p1070296.jpgP1070296https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/p1070295.jpgP1070295https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/p1070294.jpgP10702942013-01-15T04:39:34+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2013/01/07/triskaideckaphobia-and-taxes/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/tomtaxes.jpgTomtaxesArt shot of my accountant riffling through my return. 2013-01-09T02:51:57+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2012/12/30/a-guest-blog-by-mr-grumpypants/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/dscblogbw_2898.jpgDSCblogbw_2898Mr. Grumpypants in happier times. 2013-01-15T01:48:28+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2012/12/25/so-this-is-christmas/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/trees.jpgtreesChristmas lights in a park near where I live in Calgary. 2012-12-26T18:23:36+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2012/12/13/the-oven-has-been-drinking-not-me/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/cake.jpgcakeThe magic ingredients for my most amazing Christmas cake. 2012-12-14T02:51:07+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2012/12/07/attention-must-be-paid/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/stardale-dec-2012.jpgStardale Dec 2012Helen with Alyssa and Chelsea. https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/img_3993.jpegIMG_3993The Stardale girls receive their amazing Christmas stockings from Ried's Stationers full of Christmas goodies. 2012-12-12T13:56:55+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2012/11/30/enough-of-that-political-nonsense-heres-a-short-story/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/moon.jpgmoonI have no photos of dead dogs, so here's a cool one of the moon instead.2012-12-03T03:37:26+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2012/11/27/the-morning-after/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/calgaryskyline.jpgCalgaryskylineThe Calgary skyline from my friend Micheal's almost penthouse. . 2012-11-28T03:28:44+00:00monthlyhttps://eugenestickland.com/2012/11/22/democracy-in-coming-to-calgary-centre/https://eugenestickland.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/harvey.jpgharveyA really bad photo of Harvey and me.
