Letter to the Editor

Appreciates column

I want to thank BC Review reporter Bill Evans for sharing his memories of Altadena, Calif., which he, his wife and daughter once called home. It was not just any city to them, but the place where they bought their first house; where their daughter played in the sprinklers and read “Alice in Wonderland” among the climbing roses. I can’t imagine what it must feel like to see the devastation from the recent wildfires, but I do know that Evans’ words put a face on the tragedy, and I am grateful for that. Not an easy story to hear, but beautifully written and one we all need to know.

Gimme it down to there

About seven weeks ago, I did something that I would not advise for even a healthy dude or dudette in their 30s, much less for a guy who will qualify for Medicare in about eight weeks. I had two pretty major surgical procedures in the space of three days. I know, not a super bright move.

Unclogging a drain can be as simple as boiling water

Seems like every time I visit my brother in California I end up doing a DIY project. This holiday was no different. While I love helping out with projects, especially since they’re great teaching moments for the kids, I didn’t plan on spending hours on the guest bathroom floor unclogging drains.

A personal milestone 40 years in the making

First off, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas yesterday and have a very happy, healthy and safe New Year ahead.
