Gary’s May Gems - Finding the Key to Our Secret Garden I'm already missing my “secret garden”. Spring came early this year. We wasted no time in opening our windows to welcome her. We also welcomed the sound of birds calling out to whatever females were in range, “pick me, pick me.” They've yet [...]
Gary's April Gems - The Spring is in Our Hearts Issue There is so much to love about spring. I used to especially love spring skiing. Sadly, I don’t ski anymore. It’s too emotionally painful. After losing my Olympic bronze medal due to a petty disqualification for ski-tampering. It brings back too many memories. [...]
“There’s not a word yet for old friends who’ve just met.”– Jim Henson I am blessed to have many “old friends”. That’s one of the advantages of living in the same city all your life. It’s not unusual to run into a classmate at Home Depot or get an email from someone from my [...]
Gary's February Gems - The Lost Art of Saying Thank You Issue We take “thank you’s” seriously here in the great white north. Along with “sorry”, it’s used at every conceivable opportunity. It’s a Canadian stereotype. Someone opens a door for us? “Thank you”. Someone bumps into us. “Sorry”. Whether deserved or not, we [...]
Gary’s January Gems - The What Will Be the New Normal Issue I’m thinking a lot about when we can expect to return to “normal”. When can we go out to shows, dine out, and have friends over again? Nothing is the same. Nothing is “normal”. I want to set the dial back to [...]
Gary December Gems – The It's Not Where You Start Issue This December 1st marks the 50th anniversary of my company, i24 Call Management Solutions. We started out as Alert Answering Service which was founded by my Grandmother, Florence Blair, when she was 64 years old - the same age I turned last [...]
Gary's Gems - Whatever Gets You Through November Issue Do you find November depressing? Since March, every month in 2020 could claim that description. The drabness of November is our payment for the lights and nostalgia for December. (You know how I feel about Christmas, right?). November is Kansas. December is Oz. I can [...]
Gary's October Gems – The Giving Thanks Issue October makes her annual entrance like a diva posing in front of a wind machine; her billowing cape of colours cover everything in her path. As the days pass, she becomes smaller, weaker, and tattered. By the time she makes her exit, she is [...]
Garys September Stories - Of All the Books I Read Before I was raised in a house of books. A house, unlike a house of cards, doesn’t collapse at the slightest breeze but stands strong against whatever life blows at it. My mother, like her mother, were avid readers who passed along their [...]
Gary's August Stories - The "All the World is a Stage" Issue Who could have foreseen back in March and April that come summer, we’d still see no sign of a return to pre COVID19 normal, an end to disruption. Our routines have changed to reflect new normals but as much as we can [...]
