This is a little more about me and what I like to do
|
Cross Country Ski Racing. Here I am after skiing 65 K in one day.
|
Backpacking. This is an overnighter to Elk Lakes in B.C. On one trip through here, I encountered a grizzly bear.
|
|
I love dogs, especially springer spaniels. Calgary has some wonderful areas to walk your loyal companion |
If I can learn to play the piano at my age, anyone can! |
|
Biking along the Bow River near Edworthy park.
|
Cross country skiing for fun in Kananaskis Country. On this ski trip, I saw a family of Lynx.
|
|
Volunteering with environmental organizations to help protect the few wolves we have remaining in our mountains.
|
Climbing peaks in the Canadian Rockies. This is the summit of Mount Glasgow. The picture was taken in early July.
|
|
Hiking to picturesque locations on a warm summer's day. This is the top of Mount Indefatigable.
|
I hear red wine is good for you!
|

"A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love."
|
Driving Fast. Only on the race track, of course. Can you see what year it says on the trophy? I hung 'em up after this win. | |
Happy would it be for thousands of people if they could stand at last before the Judgement Seat and say "I have loved as truly and I have lived as decently as my dog." And yet we call them "only brutes"!"
- Henry Ward Beecher
"We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth."
- Henry Beston
"There will come a time when the world will look back to modern vivisection in the name of Science, as they do now to burning at the stake in the name of religion."(vivisection is the practice of cutting open live animals)
- Henry J Bigelow,M.D.
"Why would it be necessary for human beings to drink the milk of another mammal to be healthy? A mother cow's milk is designed specifically for her calf; likewise, a human mother's milk is designed specifically for a human baby. Does the calf have to drink the human mother's milk to be healthy? If not, then why should a human being drink the milk of a cow to be healthy?"
- Jefferey Brown
