The new issue of Geez magazine is out, and guess what? I have an article in it! The complete article is not online, so you’ll have to pick up a copy to read it (FYI you can get this magazine at McNally Robinson and Mondragon in Winnipeg). Basically, I wrote a love letter to another magazine, Bitch. Just a few words chronicling that magazine’s recent financial difficulties and its timely triumph over them, as well as its continued struggle for continued existence and the reasons why it’s still important and relevant as ever.

The issue is packed with lots of other great stuff, and if you need some independent verification, Geez won the 2009 Utne Independent Press Award for Best Spiritual Coverage.

Yes, my video scrapbook posts are getting later and later. But that’s how it goes, sometimes, especially as the summer is drawing to a close and you’re exhausted from working too much at your summer job (yes, that’s right, I’ve been out of school for years but still take seasonal work).

August continued to disappoint on the weather front — too little sun, though not quite as much rain as July — but still provided some bright points in the form of blue lakes and green trees. Take a look.
