Is est non quis vos adepto

Everyone needs a mantra. Some collection of words that encapsulates their view of life. It tends to sound more profound in an ancient language. "Is est non quis vos adepto" translates (I'm told) "It's not what you get" The second half of the mantra is "It's what you give." I throw this bit of well-chewed personal insight into the great internet void. For what it's worth.

Great kids Great moments II

And here I thought Puck was a happy spirit. Well, he probably is when his parents aren't taking his picture on Hallowe'en night. Under the makeup and the ears is my much-loved son, Patrick. His passion is theatre, and he has compiled an impressive resume with performances at Edmonton's Citadel Theatre in Midsummer Night's Dream and A Christmas Carol as well as numerous Fringe Festival roles over the years. One that is particularly memorable for me is Azdak in Caucasian Chalk Circle. It's always eye-opening for a parent to watch their 15-year-old stagger around an outdoor theatre venue with a bottle of liquor in his hand, roaring about justice. Patrick's latest venture is a long drive to Carolina with a friend to launch the Good Ship Edmonton Oilers on a steady course in the Stanley Cup Finals. I have always told Patrick to find his dream and chase it. Not certain this is what I had in mind. But the memories!
