2 minute read Preview Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2021I got a knock at my door a few weeks back. It was my next-door neighbour, Sandy. We live in a three-storey apartment block in the heart of St. Vital and he had a package for me.
He said that some packages had been delivered to him and others while they were outside enjoying the warmer weather at the time. Sandy explained that he’d thought I might like one and he set a black grocery bag on the floor.
The inscription in orange lettering on the black grocery bag read Dakota Community Centre.
I felt the rumblings of ramblings stirring so decided that this generosity warranted further investigation and what motivated the kind folks at Dakota to provide us with such, well, generous gifts…

3 minute read Preview Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020It has been a while since my last column. I missed a few deadlines and I apologize. I’m guilty, but I have an explanation.
On Jan. 14 to 15, I suffered a heart attack and, they tell me, a stroke as well. As if one wasn’t bad enough by itself…
I have no memories of any kind of the days leading up to these episodes nor the weeks following. I spent until April 15 in hospitals — first St. Boniface, followed by Riverview Health Centre.
My mobility, vision and speech are all restricted with no deadline in sight (pun intended) for recovery of any or all faculties. I count any and all progressions as successes, regardless of magnitude, and celebrate them as successes.
