How to get from taxes to comedy …

I’ve taken a few days off from View from the Edge to spend some personal time, as well as to work on a few other projects, so this is my first post for a few days. Its going to be a bit of a mish-mash post, I think, covering a few things. First of all, [...]

The end of a long week

Just wanted to post a quick message to let everyone know I am back home again in Medicine Hat after my “comedy tour” of Alberta.  There was a lot of driving involved, and I’m not sure if it was the driving or the performing or a combination, but the week really did tire me out [...]

A double-stop on the comedy express

Well, the show assignments for next week are up, and I’m trying something this week I’ve never done before. Its been over 15 years since I’ve done more than one show in a week, so thats somewhat unique in and of itself, but the real new thing this week is that I’m going to a [...]

Elron’s Christmas Vacation …

Just thought I’d check in with everyone from my hotel room in Kamloops. I am two days into my trip to go see my dad for Xmas, and I think the worst is over driving-wise. While the weather and roads were actually pretty good for the Roger’s Pass, for anywhere else in the [...]

Warsaw – Sep 3, 2005 – Parks and Parade Routes …

My plan for the morning of Sept 3 was to explore some of the amazing parks I’d been seeing in my travels the past couple of days. The number, and size, of the parks in Warsaw really surprised me. And given that many of them were created and/or maintained under the communist occupation, it really [...]

Warsaw – Sep 2, 2005 – Stare and Nowe Miasta

One of the fascinating things about travelling in Europe is the history from a variety of different periods. Most cities have an Old Town, where the original settlement occurred, and one or more New Towns, where populations moved in different ages. In Prague, Old Town is on one side of the river, and later in [...]

Warsaw – Sep 1, 2005 – Muzeum Techniki

While wandering around the complex for the Palac Kultury the previous day, I noticed a Science and Technology museum nestled in amongst the rest. Being the geek that I am, very little interests me more than an S&T museum, especially in a country I’ve never been before. While its true that science is something of [...]

Warsaw – Aug 31, 2006

One of the things that I was most unsure of before going to Europe, turned out to be one of the best and simplest aspects of my time there. I’d never really ridden trains before. As a very young child, there was a day-liner that ran from our small town to Calgary that I rode [...]

Prague – Aug 30, 2005

August 30th was my day to catch the interesting stuff I’d seen all over town that I still didn’t have pictures of. I new I was leaving that night, and wasn’t yet sure how I was getting back to Munich on the 6th, so I was trying to be sure I had a picture of [...]

Prague – 29 Aug, 2006

I had 2 main objectives on Aug 29, 2005 … the first was to check out the Tower on Charles Bridge, and the second was to get some shots from the Strana Hill after dark. Though it wasn’t quite as many steps as the St. Nicholas Church tower from the previous day, it [...]
