I explain this in more detail in the podcast but I was … I am … terrible at math.So, it shouldn’t surprise you that this is episode 66 of 65 … actually 66 1/2 but at this point who’s really counting anymore. #Countin…

“I don’t think I ever had a plan”~ Herb Marshall One of my favourite things about this podcast is the number of people we’ve had on who I’ve known at some level, much of my life and thought I knew a fair bit about, but…
Thankfully, one of the things you could still do during the covid shutdown a few years ago was go for a drive and/or hike and that lent itself well to Milli’s and my shared interest in nature photography. One of our earliest adventures was to…
When you do what I do for a living and your day starts around 4:am, it means you’re sometimes available in the afternoon to do any variety of things including popping out to the local golf course for a quick 9. Such was the case many years ago…
“We are not makers of history. We are made by history.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr. I’ve had a fascination with history most of my life so I’m pretty excited to chat with David Armstrong this week, President …
It’s that time of year again when most of us just can’t wait to get outside and get all the pretty things growing again. As sometimes happens, a small labour of love can grow into a force to be reckoned with and such is the case with Gr…

I confess, I just stole the first few lines of this intro directly from their website. Since 1975, the Blyth Festival Theatre has put all Canadians and certainly rural Canadians centre stage, telling our stories, sharing our history, and celebrating…
I’ve been very lucky in my career to meet and interview a lot of well known people, so why was I so nervous about this one? Perhaps it’s because, as the bassist for Gordon Lightfoot fo 55 years, Rick Haynes has been an integral part of …
Milli had an idea a while back to create a few podcasts under the sub-heading of “Pockets of Peace.” To seek out some hidden peaceful gems in Midwestern Ontario and I loved the idea. I’m sure it’s no coincidence that the firs…
When we set out on this journey, we thought we would be focusing on a lot of places and things that we find amazing about Midwestern Ontario … and I hope we’re still doing that to some extent. What it seems to have evolved into though i…
He’s a husband, father, farmer, former broadcast employee, former mayor, a playwright and an author … I’ll be honest, he’s a true renaissance kind of guy. Of all the things he loves though, right near the top of the lis…
This week … Our sweetest adventure yet as Milli and I hit the road for a few live “on location” chats. First we’ll visit our friends Ben and Bri at Coastal Coffee to talk about the side adventure they do there with Maple Sy…
One of the things I love about living in a small community is the way people so often face adversity head on, together. Such was the case a few years ago when the community of Kingsbridge experienced the closure of their Church. For decades it had …
As a boy, I was hockey obsessed and growing up in Goderich meant I had access every year to the grand-daddy of all hockey tournaments. Young Canada Week began in 1950 as a one-day, 12-team competition for peewee age players and over the years it gr…

This week on “A Life That’s Good” … Milli and I are going to do something on the pod that we would generally avoid … we are going to talk about … Christmas … before December 1st. It’s just an…
In 2006, I was visiting a family member at a hospital in London and while walking down the hall I ran into a lady I knew from church who was very distraught, which I found quite unusual for her. She hugged me and asked if I would come with her to pr…

This week’s podcast was less about a recent adventure and more of a retrospective on us (Boomer & Milli) We loved having our friend Alecia Anderson take over the pod and interview us but we weren’t sure what to do fo…
We’ve said it a lot over the years … If we all give a little … we all get a lot. I think sometimes we can hear something so often that we don’t really hear it after a while. We NEED to keep hearing those words. None of us w…
We’re a little behind on the photoblogs. Life got a little crazy with a wedding reception and all that goes with it but we’re hoping better late than never. Last weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving with a conversation on the podcast abou…
