And Off We Go    January 5th 2023



   Here I am in my new place.  Relocated by stubborn Danish techno meanies who took my old simplesite blog and shut me out.  I live at Blogger, com now and soon I will figure out how to share on facebook.  I can't use accordingtoian any more.   I am born again with the new moniker As Ian Sees It.  I need to learn some things.  Simple things I have never been able to understand such as Cutting and pasting.  But hey, at this age we have often heard people being accused of entering a second childhood.  Looks like I'm in for a little schooling.  Maybe I'll learn something this time.    I doubt anyone will ever see what is happening here and now.  But on the outside chance you do,  This could be cool.  

  No pretty pages,  no counter, none of that stuff.  No monthly billing either.   Well,  if you will excuse me, I have to get to my instructions as how to share this properly.  A good friend of mine who has been assisting me with my new blog is teaching me how to archive my old blog.    Let's just consider this a growth process rather than a retreat.   Talk to ya soon.

What I Should Have Said October 11th 2024

    Fully aware that there is no such thing as perfect, our autumn in this corner of my home and native land has been as close weather wise as one could hope for.  Weather out here is something one never takes for granted.  And as much as has gone on in our lives this fall, we have managed to steal some moments and just enjoy what has been given to us.  Now when I say "what has gone on" it isn't the typical exaggeration one would expect from the lips of a story teller.  And yet, I suspect it is the same s%#t in a different pile for most families.       I had some very stellar moments with some people who have been a great part of my life at different times, in different places, in different ways.  I had some great opportunities to say things to individuals that I haven't seen, or never met for a life time.  I had the chance to tell these people what I thought, or how they mattered.   And I tried.        So o...

Where Do They Go September 20th 2024

      I grew up in the wild wild west, in the middle of a rain forrest back when this corner of my home and native land was still frontier.   And I was an odd duck in so many ways.  We know things now about people like me that we didn't know then.  I am dyslexic,  and very spectrumy.  ADHD I would suspect which I believe wasn't too rare in my chosen profession.  But in the 1960's my reaction to things was simply bad behaviour.  And in truth?  Well it was.   I have a couple of grand children who are also on the spectrum and truth be told their lives aren't real easy.  But there is some understanding about people like me these days which may at some point in time make their lives a little easier.       Back in the day, I basically grew up as an only child.....but not really.   I came as a surprise to my parents some eight years after my older sister.  Eight years.   She was born at the conclusio...

Some Canuck Thinking. March 7th 2025

    We just watched the movie Conclave.   It was such a good movie with a cast that is kinda the who's who of White Male Hollywood.   I am all about inclusiveness, but it is a movie about the selection of the leader of the Catholic faith so........   In any event, I brought this up because I wanted to mention the role played by Stanley Tucci.  Tucci is one of my very favourite actors of all time.  He played Cardinal Bellini.  Cardinal Bellini started the movie as the favourite to become the new Pope.  He was adamant that Pope was a position he didn't want...... Until it appeared he wasn't going to be the Pope.  I know the feeling.   When I started blogging a decade or so ago,  I did so because I had been encouraged by several people who used to read my rants on facebook.  I rented blog space from a European company.  It was a pretty format, and I immediately started to amass a modest following.  As time went...
