I have difficulty keeping up with the writing needed to keep this site fresh, so, the answer – other writers. Current contributors:
- Morgan Waters, my niece, who wrote about coming back to Canada after years in the middle-east.
- Jonathan Potter, my son-in-law, who has contributed two poems. Jonathan has published a number of books of poetry.
- And most recently Anastasia Mourogova Millin. Anastasia is my partner in Ombrello Solutions. We have a web site under construction so in the meantime, her contribution provides insight into our collaboration.
I hope to have more contributions – even from those who may disagree with me.
