Tinashe Before She Was Famous
In this scene from “Masked and Anonymous”, a 2003 drama film starring Bob Dylan, 10 year old Tinashe launches into a sweet rendition of “The Times They Are A-Changin’”
These Days
Somewhere, probably YouTube, I came upon a trailer for Father Mother Sister Brother, a Jim Jarmusch film I hadn’t seen that has an amazing cast, so I watched it. It’s three odd vignettes about relationships between parents and their adult children. It was a gentle little film and it closed with this song which I’ve always loved.
55 Years Ago an Apollo 15 Astronaut Dropped a Hammer And A Feather On The Moon
A long time ago the astronomer, physicist, engineer and polymath, Galileo, explored falling objects in gravity fields and the Apollo 15 astronauts thought they’d confirm his findings on the moon. Sure enough, because they were in a vacuum, there was no air resistance and the feather fell at the same rate as the hammer.

The Rise and Fall of the Cities the Welland Canal Built: St. Catharines & Niagara
This excellent documentary tells the story of the Welland Canal and the cities it built: how a waterway transformed Niagara, why St. Catharines became so important, how industry rose along the canal, and why many of these once-powerful canal towns began to fade. I moved to Niagara on the Lake in 1986 and to St. Catharines in 2024. I worked in constituency offices in St. Catharines, Welland, and Thorold and saw the decline of industry during this time and the effect it had on the people who lived, and still live, here. But the cities along the Welland Canal Corridor (St. Catharines, Thorold, Welland, and Port Colborne) are now experiencing a multi-faceted economic and demographic resurgence and I’m happy to be here to see it.
