Tuesday Tidbits: Easter Eggs and Book News

July 12, 2022 / Leon Stevens / 1 Comment

How astute are you as a reader? Do you skim or do you pay attention to every detail? I inadvertently put an Easter egg in my book, The View from Here. As I was typing, the words just fit into the scene and I thought, “Hey, that’s kinda cool.” Then I didn’t tell anyone.Until now. … Continue reading Tuesday Tidbits: Easter Eggs and Book News

Music Monday: Our Lady Peace

July 11, 2022 / Leon Stevens / 3 Comments

Do you ever forget about a band, then you hear it and are immediately transported back in time to when you first heard it?

I haven't followed them since their first few albums when they … Continue reading Music Monday: Our Lady Peace

Thursday Thoughts: How fast is fast?

July 7, 2022 / Leon Stevens / 1 Comment

299 792 458 m / s If physics is correct, nothing can exceed the speed of light*, so there is a limit to how fast we can go. But I’m not talking about that limit. The first book about running that I read was about breaking the four-minute mile. At the time, people thought it was impossible. … Continue reading Thursday Thoughts: How fast is fast?

Music Monday: Japanese Breakfast

July 4, 2022 / Leon Stevens / 5 Comments

One hit wonders. It depends on who to talk to. I don't claim to like every song a band releases. Unless you are a "superfan", most listeners will have their favorites and their not-so-favorites*. So for me, there are some bands of which only one song really grabs me. Oh, I try. I do listen … Continue reading Music Monday: Japanese Breakfast

July 1, 2022 / Leon Stevens / 2 Comments

Just to one-up our neighbours* to the south, the day to celebrate the founding of the nation of Canada is on July 1. How old is Canada? Without looking it up, I admit I have no idea. 150 years is my best guess. Does it matter? Not really. I'm glad to have grown up in … Continue reading Free Book Friday July 1: It’s Canada Day.
