My 2012 Christmas wish list as I try to look beyond the window dressing.

Revisiting the magic of Point Pelee in mid-May and storing up memories for the days when I wear my trousers rolled.

A plea for engineers and scientists to tred carefully when they approach the outer edges of technology and the risks that lie there.

The Mad Hatter of Software has infected my computer. I’m defying him on principle alone.

Realizing that I’ve become too adept at tuning out bad news.

Howard Beale’s 1976 battle cry may finally have come of age in the anti corporate greed movement.

Learning to ride the waves of life and ground myself in those things that withstand the test of time.

Lamenting that politicians keep playing from the same worn out playbook. But holding out hope that real change will eventually spring up.

Reminded once again that life is about graces – not races.

Inspiration found in a crippled pine tree that endures season after season.
