2020 visions

This time of the year, when we – like the 2 headed god Janus – look forward and backward, I came across this flash fiction story reminding me of science, time, and life: The Light of Lesser Suns

So, I’m Still Here… August 22, 2024
[looks at the last time I updated my website…coughs nervously] I think in the future, people will look at the years of the pandemic as a really rough decade. It was a difficult time, but to quote Michael Caine, I “used the difficulty”. Background: Actor Michael Caine was rehearsing a play early in his career. […]
Throwback / Throw a light to the future Thursday April 14, 2022
In March 2021 my sister Kathie had been told “yes, the cancer is back, and your time is up.” So, prior to the Easter weekend, I took a few days off work to travel to Edmonton. I visited Kathie, her family, and my other two siblings: Gail and Ken (and Ken’s wife & one of […]
Christmas Song of my youth, missing my sister, other thoughts December 14, 2021
Back in the late 60s/early 70s, Zellers sold A Very Merry Christmas: Volume 3. It was an album with a lot of big name stars (at the time) and other talent belting out seasonal songs. Mom bought it, and every Christmas growing up, she pulled this one out to play it. It’s actually quite a […]

Posting to EvanKayne.com not Facebook…how “meta” November 21, 2021
TL; DR: Found pizza, found some joy, but someone else lost theirs. Burp. This just happened a few weeks ago. I had just finished a closing shift at ye olde cannabis dispensary, it had been a week since they told us they were closing this location due to low sales (we’re unionized so most of […]
New Flash Fiction! I’m on TikTok! I’m still here! July 30, 2021
New flash fiction either in Podcast or print format. This new and original story, while a work of fiction, is based off a fever dream I had when I was in the hospital. Coming damn close to death in April made me think about a lot of things and people in my life. In the […]
COVID-19, Writing, and Edits May 26, 2021
April 2021 will always be the lost month, as I was hospitalized with double pneumonia due to being infected with the South African variant of COVID-19. I was hospitalized for 13 days at the Rockyview hospital here in Calgary. It gave me time to think about my priorities in life. I will be doing more […]

Cannabis 102 Potcast: Medical vs. Recreational February 8, 2021
A new “potcast” on medical vs. recreational cannabis is now available here (or on the Podcast) page. I’ve been distracted by other things in life, and like everyone else living through a pandemic, I’m NOT fine, but I am here and pushing to continue walking forward. If you want to support me, besides following me […]

New story – a couple of Weird Halloween Stories. Click HERE for the podcast, and if you’re old school, text version is here. I got a new webcam and this time I recorded the podcast using the microphone from the webcam. Sound quality is okay, but I still prefer using the microphone from my headset. […]
