When Switchfoot Comes To Town…

When Switchfoot Comes To Town…I go and see them!

Just a couple of months ago I was priveleged to attend a Switchfoot concert in Toronto. At that time it was the biggest and best show on their tour (though it’s possible they say that at every show). I took a few minutes to write about the concert here.

So tomorrow night I’ll be heading to Hamilton with my friend Dan to catch them in concert again. This time I am considering taking ear plugs, though I’m sure in the end I’ll leave them in my pocket. I see so few concerts these days that I get pretty excited about the ones I do see. So here’s hoping this show is as great as the last. And here’s hoping they turn the volume down just a bit.

    What Becomes Of All Our Dreams?

    My dad loved to cook. This was a passion that began relatively late in his life after the kids had moved out. With an empty nest, my parents were able to live a slower-paced life and my dad began to dabble in cooking. He soon found that he loved it and that my mother was…
