Poppy Count
Poppy count charitable donation grand plan
Each year since returning to Canada full-time in 2007, I have counted the poppies I see people wearing from the day the poppy campaign begins until 11am on November 11th. I'd tally up the count, donate 0.10$ per poppy, and send a cheque to a local veterans organization.

It used to be a sizeable donation.

In recent years, I've noticed my poppy count decreasing. I worry sometimes that people have begun to forget the past. I worry that we will soon relive their horrors in our future.

I don't base my donation on poppy counts anymore. And I no longer wait until Remembrance day arrives to make them.

I am changing too. Hopefully, for the better.

Thanks to R&R and her magic AMEX – front of the line ticket access baby – we have tickets to go see Leonard Cohen on April 25th. Well, I’ll have a ticket once I pay her for it. Can’t wait. I’ve loved Leonard Cohen’s writing and music for years and was disappointed when he didn’t come west while touring parts of Canada last year. Now all is well with the universe. Even better, less than two weeks before Cohen is in town, I’ll be watching and listening to Gordon Lightfoot.

Congrats!!

I’ll be working the concert when he comes to Seattle (usher/guest services)…not the same as seeing it, but it means that I’ll be earning money instead of paying it.
