Traveler vs. Hotel Room | First Person Irregular

https://johnochwat.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/traveler-vs-hotel-room

Skip to primary content. Traveler vs. Hotel Room. April 23, 2013. I’ve been traveling a lot for work, which often means a bad night’s sleep. For complicated reasons involving hotel no-vacancies, my only room option last week was on the other side of the machinery at the top of the elevator shaft. If you can imagine the sound of enormous carts rolling across bumpy pavement every ten to twenty seconds, you’ll have an idea of what it sounded like. And then the elevators started to rumble again.

Skip to primary content. John vs. Capitalism, the Soccer Shoe Edition. November 13, 2014. This is what happens if you oppose our marketing juggernaut. The Great Multinational Shoemongers. Hire platoons of designers, analysts and marketers to fine-tune their zeitgeist-piercing value propositions and beam them into the cerebral cortices of impressionable young shoe-shoppers, such as my son. Then there’s me, Just a Bloke Trying to Do Right by His Son and Keep His Wallet from. The Epic Battle of Epicness.

All the quirks of academic libraries and then some. Intellectually curious (and lucky) librarian. July 8, 2011. Read an article at Harvard Business Review.

In a sense, The Wrecking Crew were never supposed to be the subject of a documentary, or of a book by Ken Hartman that came out this year. A bassist) were th...

Skip to primary content. My Canada Day Memory. July 1, 2013. When he was sweating inside the uniform, I did the same. Plus, the name had just changed. So I spent half the day explaining that “It’s no longer called Dominion Day, it’s called Canada Day.” And then I handed out little Canadian flags. Since I was actually born in the US, I got a laugh out of lecturing Canadian kids on an approved-by-government-committee holiday name change. Kid: “Why isn’t it Dominion Day anymore? Kid: “Oh.”. Je ne sais quoi.

Little Victories | First Person Irregular

https://johnochwat.wordpress.com/2013/08/14/little-victories

Skip to primary content. August 14, 2013. My friend has multiple sclerosis. MS is a nasty disease, which has robbed my friend of the ability to walk. She gets by with an electric scooter and a wheelchair, but for someone who has traveled around the world, it’s been a tough adjustment. She wanted to ride the slides. Specifically, the biggest, hairiest slide in the park. So she and her husband asked whether they could do that. The first lifeguard was nice, but said the rule was that if she could get up the...
