This link via YouTube from the old British series "Ripping Yarns" by Michael Palin and Eric Idle is worth watching, especially if you've ever sat through a full fledged military mess dinner. Click here. While I ceased to be a member of the Fourth Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment on 1 June when my transfer to the Regular Force took effect, I wanted to say goodbye by attending the battalion's change of command parade yesterday, 12 June. The parade marked the end of LCol. Matt MacDonald's command. The weather cooperated beautifully, a warm evening with a light breeze and clear skies.
The parade took place in the parade square of historic Wolseley Barracks in London, the first facility ever built in Canada for Canadian rather than British troops. Clicking on the pictures will provide a larger view. LCol Millman in center of the picture. Jerry Rozic. The honour guard are Sgts.

Army Wives on TV. Recently I came across what seems to be a smart show about the costs of military service on families back home. I was intrigued by Ginia Bellafante's review in NYT of the series "Army Wives" on the Lifetime channel I have no idea if Lifetime is available in Canada - I'd be surprised in the gazillion channel universe if it wasn't. Bellafante makes me want to catch this series as a means to understanding what goes on at home when soldiers are deployed - terrain that was briefly explored in the now defunct HBO Iraq war-based series "Over There", which was not exactly a successful recruiting tool for the US Army.
The show never allows you to think that what you really want is a man in uniform. Only one of the servicemen is genuinely appealing: he reads Steinbeck, and he listens.

Hollywood writers writing about the military is like men writing about childbirth. That says something. Labels: Military and Society. Gates on Thursday after an inquiry into the mishandling of nuclear weapons and components found systemic problems in the Air Force.
Read the whole article: In other words, when you've had this stuff for the last sixty years, and you haven't really thought about it much since the Berlin Wall came down, it's easy to lose track of it. Rather like those hockey cards or army men you enjoyed as a kid, and you know are around the house somewhere, you're just not sure where.
Labels: Military News. Thursday, June 5, I would like a great lake of beer. Last night I attended my last event in the Diocese of Huron, an ordination service at St. Paul's cathedral in London, to support two students who did placements in my parish, the Rev'd Brad Dunbar ordained priest last night and the Rev'd Jenny Sharp ordained transitional deacon. It was hot and my fellow clerics were obviously distracted by the last game of the Stanley Cup finals. My imagination was caught by this text printed on the last page of the service booklet: "On the Heavenly Banquet I would like to have the inhabitants of heaven In my house: With vats of good cheer Laid out for them.
I would like to have the three Marys, Their fame so great.
I would like people From every corner of Heaven. I would like them to be cheerful In their drinking, I would like to have Jesus too Here amongst them. I would like a great lake of beer For the King of Kings, I would like to be watching Heaven's family Drinking it through all eternity. I'd never heard of this text before, and it is a lovely sentiment. Many of us would indeed have enjoyed a great lake of beer last night.
The theological question it poses, however - what beer would the King of Kings drink? My friend, the Ven. Timothy Connor, would undoubtedly say Guinness, which indeed would suit the Celtic provenance of this poem. I think if it was a Canadian lake, and a great lake of beer sounds very Canadian, it would be Wellington County Dark Ale. What do you think the King of Kings would drink? Tuesday, June 3, Signs of the Times. Today saw us one step closer to getting to my first posting at CFB Greenwood. After getting verbal clearance from the military's Relocation Program, we signed up with our realtor and got our house on the market.
These placid pictures mark hours of frantic work tarting up the house and getting it ready to show. Kay has been amazing during these long days, which turned tropically hot this week, working like a dervish. Her garden has never looked better, and the house has never looked cleaner. I've been thinking of putting a yellow ribbon and sign beside our realtor's sign with the words "Support Our Troops, Buy This House" but I think that would be cheating.
On Monday, June 2nd, I signed a six year contract to serve in the Regular Force as a chaplain, the end of a discernment process that's lasted for over a year. My patient and resigned wife, Kay, took this picture of me signing the contract at the Canadian Forces Recruiting Centre in London. Since I had already taken the oath to enlist in the CF as a reservist, there was no additional oath or affirmation, just a bunch of signatures. Perhaps the most ominous part was the signature agreeing that my service could be extended beyond the contract date in the event of a national emergency code for a world war or similar catastrophe which, however unlikely, is a sobering prospect.
It was also higly meaningful to sign these papers knowing that two brothers, my father, and paternal grandfather have in their lives also gone through this process and made these promises. Kay and I celebrated by taking a bunch of books to a used bookstore - lo and behold they took a bunch, but did we take cash? During his later years, he would sail when he could afford to do so and became a well-known yachtsman.
He won many races and was on the French sailing team.

In the early s, he was given an old Jersey pilot cutter , called Jersey. He sailed this for some years around the coasts of England, with the help of younger men. The prolific author of more than books, [20] [21] Belloc wrote on myriad subjects, from warfare to poetry to the many current topics of his day. Wells , George Bernard Shaw , and G. Chesterton , all of whom debated with each other into the s. Belloc was closely associated with Chesterton, and Shaw coined the term Chesterbelloc for their partnership.
The paper was later called the New Witness , and still later, G.

Asked once why he wrote so much, [23] he responded, "Because my children are howling for pearls and caviar. For his own prose style, he claimed to aspire to be as clear and concise as " Mary had a little lamb. His best travel writing has secured a permanent following. The Path to Rome , an account of a walking pilgrimage he made from central France across the Alps and down to Rome, has remained continuously in print.
More than a mere travelogue, The Path to Rome contains descriptions of the people and places he encountered, his drawings in pencil and in ink of the route, humour, poesy, and the reflections of a large mind turned to the events of his time as he marches along his solitary way. His book The Pyrenees , published in , shows a depth of detailed knowledge of that region such as would only be gained from personal experience.
At every turn, Belloc shows himself to be profoundly in love with Europe and with the Faith that he claims has produced it.
As an essayist he was one of a small, admired and dominant group with Chesterton, E. Lucas and Robert Lynd of popular writers. The tale of "Matilda who told lies and was burned to death" was adapted into the play Matilda Liar!
