Information relating to Paul is now in the January Archives to the left. I will not permit use of any of the content in there to be republished (trackbacks are fine) - so please don’t ask. Almost everything I reported there came from CTV.ca, CBC.ca Citytv.ca cnn.com msnbc.com or fark.com anyway.
From this point […]
Day ten - and finally - got to talk to Paul and See / Hear him with my own eyes and ears. In an isolation room at the University - he’s got a great head on his shoulders and has the nuts to make a great recovery.
As soon as we can post pics - […]
It’ been a long 9 days - but 9 days is what is has been since we got the harried and frantic call from Aud telling us that Paul - her husband - and our friend had been in a bomb blast and was alive - but seriously wounded.
Since that time - I’ve tried to […]

Just headin to the office - but caught This Piece on the Globe and Mail. An excellent piece overall. In fact - the Globe was denied an interview because they wanted the family to ‘get back to them’ when it was convenient for the paper’s reporter… (needless to say - their request hit […]
I don’t like hourly blogs - they only happen when bad things are going on. I just got a link to Will Salikin’s blog… Son - you’ve got too much in your head that matters to people - keep strong…. people need you… we’re all pullin for ya… (Link to Sal’s Blog)
Now available […]
According to CBC / CTV news Pauls condition has been upgraded to Serious - but stable. Not bad considering the circumstances.
I’ve just talked to the crew at his place - and he is now in Germany - safe, sound, awake - and probably wants a beer… He’s got some recovery to do - but […]
CBC news is now reporting the condition of the 2 soldiers apparently attended to by Paul during the incident. The headline reads “Medic emerges as heroic figure in Afghan convoy tragedy” - and while it may seem heroic - it’s not. It’s Paul. Doing his job - no more or less… […]
