I cook some, do laundry, and when possible, a little writing. I repeat when necessary. Currently reside in the Chinatown section of Curve Lake First Nation.

Feeling honoured in Ottawa at the LAAC Awards. Shoulder to shoulder with R. H. Thomson and Cameron Bailey. One more award and I’ll be able to afford a tie.
On a tour of the Library & Archives Canada. This place is five floors high and I don’t know how deep. I think I saw the Ark of the Covenant on the fourth shelf!
Today in 1492, Columbus saw Cuba for the first time. Being a little bit psychic, he thought he could see thousands of chubby, sunburned Canadians frolicking on the beach. But he didn’t quite know what that meant.
Just did a drop off at the village dump/recycling. Good lord but my community drinks a lot of Tim Hortons. Lots and lots of cups. The dumpster was waist deep in cups. It was stunning!
I have some unexpected ramblings today in The Toronto Star. About Cuba. Contrary to popular belief, I do have interests outside the Indigenous community... there's Star Trek. Anyway, once again, I have no control over the pay wall.

I'ver written a new play. So I sit here waiting for some good looking and amazing Artistic Director to call me, bathe me in compliments, and offer me the moon. I sit and wait in eager anticipation.
Sigh... it's kinda like a week before Prom Night.
It's foggy today.
Both inside my head and outside my window.
Hopefully one of the two will burn off.
It's one of those days.
Today is National Bologna Day!
I don't think it has anything to do with that city in Italy.
It is the food of our people.... aho!
Today is National Slap Your Coworker Day. I send this out to all the Band Office employees out there. It's also National Croc Wearing Day... so now you have a reason.
My new novel is out! Yay! Just in time for everybody to buy a dozen for their Christmas obligations.
I’m just saying….
Just did a day of lectures for a number of grade 11 English teachers in southern Ontario. One teacher told me their budget for books for the whole year was $ 100. Might as well buy some logs, send it to the wood shop, and make their own paper! 😱🤬
Today is National Day On Writing. Pour your heart out.
Hieroglyphs, Runes, Cuneiform, Rongorongo, and Sanskrit forms are acceptable.
My sweetheart who's West Coast, has been kind of run down last week, is having a serious craving for some fish. So I'm taking her to a nearby restaurant that serves the best pickerel. It's not salmon but some of us think... I better not say it.... nevermind.
I'm working up the energy and nerve to begin a new novel. For me, writing a novel is like running a marathon, gotta know where to begin and hopefully where it's going to end. In between is a lot of liquids, bathroom breaks, and wondering why the hell I'm doing this.
Looking at the dreamcatcher on my window, I must say it works. No nightmares. But I wish Indigenous scientists would come up with one to stop dreams of playing baseball without any pants. Just a suggestion.
Today in 1492, Columbus lands in the Bahamas. "Bahama" is actually an ancient Arawak word meaning "what's the worst that can happen?"
Today in 1701, Marie-Marguerite d'Youville, first Canadian canonized (founded the Order of Sisters of Charity of Montreal), born in Varennes, Quebec. Before dying, her husband made his fortune selling alcohol to Indigenous people for fur.
There are many ways to Heaven it seems.
Today in 1865, Cheyennes & Arapahos sign "peace treaty" then chased out of Colorado. They all left in their Winnebagos.
I don't know who organizes these things but there are two special days today that seem to conflict with each other. Today is National No Bra Day. It's also International Day for Disaster Reduction Day. Go figure?!
