January 10th 2012 The dream
Ever have a strange dream that somehow links back to reality? For the past 7 years I have this dream and then 3 or 4 days later someone I know dies. I don’t know what it is but I have proof of two times this has happened. Once with a phone record back in 2009 in July, I was in PEI and had the dream and the next day called home to make sure everything was ok. No one answered and I left a message and finally got a hold of my brother. Told him about the dream and later got a hold of my mother and asked if everything was alright. I told her about the dream. I am sitting in a bar with someone who passed away that was a big influence in my life (same guy all the time). She said everything was fine and that she and Dad were fine. Three days later my 1st cousin Johnny drowned in a lake.
You see I had had the dream before and people died but it panicked me when I had it in PEI for some reason. Later when talking to my oldest brother he said he was swimming that day and had a weird feeling while swimming underwater too.
The second time I recorded this was on Twitter this past year when I posted on October 31st that I had the dream and that I would wait and see what happens. The dream was a bit different as it wasn’t in the usual location (bar) but it was on a river bank. The week before, I had been thinking about my grandfather who died when he was just 34 years old. Not a long life to be able to have five kids. On November 2nd, three days after the dream, his sister passed away.
Ever have a dream like that? I am not wishing the dream away by any means as it is a chance for me to feel the presence of my old friend. The dream makes me wonder about the entire world and how our spirit may go on forever….

This blogging not going quite as often as expected. I used to write in a journal all the time. This past year I have seen 36 years on this planet and it is hard to believe that at some point in time all my hair might be white and I might be retired and maybe even be a grandfather. For the moment I am the father of two great boys and another not sure which on the way. I often look so far into the future that I forget to live in the present. Live for the moment. Sometimes I live in the past remembering the good times. This past weekend I had the boys outside playing in the snow and we ate hotdogs outside on the barbecue. I wish I could freeze moments like that. Patrick felt like he froze in the moment. Three year old hands need to be in mitts at all times.
Curling is mid season and Roddy is in his 2nd year of little rocks. Doing good for first year on a full sheet of ice. Knows his handles and can get them to the other end once in a while. First tournament for him in Moncton this weekend should be a blast. Colleen and Patrick are coming too. I miss competitive curling but as long as I keep my hand in the water I will know how to swim when time permits me to do more of it.
Cannot believe how much social networking is done on a daily basis by everyone on this earth. We shout it out but for who to hear…I enjoy the comments on youtube now more than the music. Very entertaining to say the least.
Dad turned 70 this month and Gram 89. So nice to have family close by.

August 8, 2010…
There is so much I would like to say or show on here. I believe I am one of the lucky people living on this earth. Good country, Canada, excellent parents, great brothers and sisters, the bestest wife the fun, funniest kids and an enormous amount of family and friends. The major reason I am starting this blog is so people know me better. I used to keep a journal and that is kind of where I will go with this starting back in 1988 and going back much farther from what my mind can remember. My work thought for today is this…I live in an age of the internet and social media where conversations take place and people call out to other people or attempt to. If the other party is actively listening or what you are talking about has enough influence your message will get through to the other party. I have the ability to ask a question lodge a complaint or say thank you to someone and if they are listening they will get the message. If they are not listening and my message is important enough it will get through to them via mass social media and then the media itself. So, the message I am putting out there today and not likely to be received for quite some time is a thank-you to my Mom and Dad. You helped me become the person I am today through the things that you did and do in your ever ordinary life. The second thank-you is to World War Veterans. Thank you for my freedom and the country in which I live today.
