Flight of the Royal George

A re-enactment of the Flight of the Royal George will be taking place at Kingston and Bath this weekend.  The Royal George was a Kingston-built British warship that was pursued and attacked by an American naval squadron in Kingston harbour near the beginning of the war of 1812.

The event will feature five tall ships, 10 gunboats and 24-re-enactment regiments — from Ontario, Quebec and Kentucky — that will set up camps in Bath and Fort Henry.

Save the Bees

From the Avaaz.org site

Quietly, globally, billions of bees are dying, threatening our crops and food. But if Bayer stops selling one group of pesticides, we could save bees from extinction.  Go to the Avaaz site below to sign the petition which will get delivered tomorrow.

Last Stoic Now Available at RMC Library

I’m honoured that The Last Stoic has now been added to the collections of the Library of the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario.  Cadets at the RMC will be familiar with Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations.  In the course of researching The Last Stoic I looked for a copy of The Meditations in the used bookstores downtown and they all said that any copies they get are snapped up by RMC cadets.  For them, it is required reading.
