Today is Flag Day in Canada, and this year marks the anniversary of the Canadian Flag that was first flown above Parliament Hill in Ottawa in 1965. To Canadians everywhere and those who are Canadian at heart like me, it’s a special day. May this maple leaf symbol of freedom, strength, and sovereignty fly forever.
It’s Valentine’s Day on February14th. But I saw this display of Easter candy at a local Walgreens drug store. Hippity Hoppity Easter is on its way, I guess.
Today I bought some Voortman cookies that are a product of Ontario Canada. I am doing what I can to support Canada in light of the unnecessary aggression of Trade by the US regime. As an American who thinks that loving one’s neighbor is a good and righteous thing to do.
Each February the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee holds its annual convention. This year it was held at the Episcopal School of Knoxville. This event is where delegates from its member churches gather to renew friendships, make connections, and conduct business. My wife and I with our friend Tammy and our priest Fr. Drew were in attendance to represent our parish, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga. It was good to get away overnight too. Here are a few snaps of our time there.

Today in Gobblers Knob of Punxsutawney, PA its resident weather prognosticator and most famous groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and that means six more weeks of winter. Somehow that seems on brand with this year so far. So I guess we gotta keep bundled up and be ready for more cold weather ahead. Thanks a lot, Phil.
Later today, we will most certainly watch the classic movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. It’s only right to do so.
