Don Crowdis is an impressive man indeed. Born Christmas Eve 1913, he is one of the last remaining survivors of the Halifax explosion, the first host of CBC’s The Nature of Things, and, at 93 years of age, is currently one of the oldest bloggers on earth. These are just a few of his credentials. Check out his Wikipedia entry.
I highly recommend his blog, Don to Earth. He writes about life, questions, and his desire to finish what he has not yet finished. He has been blogging for 6 months or so and it’s a page turner for sure. From his posts regarding sex, his recent stroke, to the clever play on words he chose for the blog’s title. His most recent post, Honesty? Impossible – But Negotiable Of Course is a very well phrased philosophical look at what really consitutes a lie. He defines a lie as “an untruth told to someone who deserves to hear the truth”. Hmmm… makes you think.
Drop by Don to Earth. It gets a 5-Nerve recommendation from those who bring you Oh Me Nerves dot com!
I work in an office environment. Good, clean, challenging work. The office hours are 8:30 to 5, two 15-minute breaks, with an hour to lunch. There is a good quality cafeteria on site with good prices. They brew Tim Horton’s coffee on site, and the coffee is free. Free parking. Heated in the winter, cooled in the summer. Sounds tough, eh?
