My Fifty Mission Cap
By Cam Mather I started a new trend for tourists in Kingston! Pretty soon everyone will be lining up to get their picture taken under “The Tragically Hip Way” sign. The Tragically Hip is a rock band from Kingston and I think you could say that they are one of Canada’s biggest, if not the …
Measured Out in Coffee Spoons
By Cam Mather In my on-going “life as a song lyric” series, where I live vicariously through music, I was recently taken back to my suburban life. It was one of those “angry Cam” days when a whole series of things had me in a pissy mood… climate change/idiots & morons/May weather in March exposing …
Art That a Philistine Can Appreciate
By Cam Mather I used to live in suburbia, in a bedroom community of Toronto called Burlington. I escaped as often as possible by going on camping and canoe trips. Sometimes I went with Michelle and my daughters, and at other times I headed off with my cousin Dave. Many of the beautiful places that …
The Ponzi Scheme That is The Dollar
By Cam Mather Contrary to the impression I might have given you with my last blog post, I don’t actually watch TV all of the time. I’ve finally had some time to get caught up on reading because the garden is under snow. It’s one of my favourite parts of winter and the holidays. While …
Just for Fun
Guest Post by Michelle Mather If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like around here this time of year, here’s a link to a video of all of us rockin’ around the Christmas tree. You’ll see Cam and me and our daughters Nicole & Katie, as well as Katie’s fiance Dhruva. I sent this to my …
LED Lights Save Christmas! (Again)
We have acquired quite a few new readers since last year, and so I have decided to repost this from last December. Needless to say, our off-grid home is “lit up like a Christmas tree” again this year, thanks to LED lights! ~ Michelle ~ By Cam Mather I love Christmas. What a great time …
Velvet Revolvers Triumph Over Flying Squirrels
By Cam Mather This is the blog Michelle didn’t want me to write. It’s too personal. It exposes some of the negative details of life here at Sunflower Farm. Some dark corners of the human psyche are just left best left unexplored publicly. But explore and expose it I must, because it’s part of rural …
Insanely Great!
By Cam Mather I started selling computers in 1983. Michelle and I had just returned from our two month long honeymoon driving out west and down to California. I had no computer background at all, but I was able to read a few books and bluff my way in job interviews by discussing how superior …
I Am Thankful
By Cam Mather I read a great book that said that one of the keys to happiness is being grateful. Canadian Thanksgiving is this weekend. I am grateful for that. I think it’s a nice chance to spend a long weekend with family, almost 3 months away from the chaos of Christmas. I am thankful …
The View from My Window
By Cam Mather When we lived in suburbia I ran our business, Aztext Electronic Publishing, out of our basement. I had started in an office, wore a tie to work, joined the Chamber of Commerce and did all the usual business stuff. But once the business got going and I was working crazy long hours, …
