ADVENTURES IN RETIREMENT
Living in the world of retirement has its ups as well as its downs. Waking up is no longer dictated by the tyranny of a minute-counting alarm clock. When I leisurely awaken, I can pull the bed covers up to my chin and go on an adventure. My imagination inevitably whisks me away on a mystery tour. Brief stops are made at places where my partially forgotten memories were forged. I just lay back, close my eyes and enjoy the ride. Eventually I have to throw back the covers and reluctantly get dressed. Reluctantly, because I know my body will begin moaning and groaning about the aches and pains of growing old. But I find solace in knowing when I wake the next day, I will be going on another adventure back through time.

WAKE UP CANADA
Everyone in Canada thinks Trump is the enemy. The real enemy is ourselves. We’ve allowed our democracy to slide slowly into disrepair expecting the previous status quo to continue into the future forever. Trump is the disinfectant and is bringing into light our own lack of foresight. Our new-found patriotism should have existed before Trump, but our leaders have missed the boat with policies that have stunted our growth. We need our own reevaluations of our country. Maybe a DOGE-like audit of the past 10 years to see how much of our resources have been wasted by the federal government. Electing the same stewards of the past 10 years is not the path forward! Separate Trump’s noise from the signal. The West has had their wake-up call.

YOUR RULES
The reason politicians try so hard to get re-elected is that they would hate to have to make a living under the laws they’ve passed.
