Innovation and Innovators
In a previous blog, I mentioned Bill and I were taking a break after the Grand Opening of enCore Energy’s Rosita Uranium Plant… which by the way has already shipped off uranium to its utility customers. So off we went to Telluride, a wonderful little ski town with an amazing history of mining and innovation. I […]
Band of Brothers
I am watching Band of Brothers again, and it makes me remember people like my great-grandfather, a veteran, and a survivor of two world wars and many other battles. A world champion marksman, an Olympic medalist and a sniper- his medals are in the Canadian War Museum Archives. In his sixties, he apparently had not […]
Rosita… The Yellow Rose of Texas
I had to take a break from my weekly blog following the Grand Opening of enCore Energy’s Uranium Processing Plant and Wellfield in South Texas. My team and I organized the event and about 300 people – from land owners to local elected officials to family and friends and investors – joined us to celebrate […]

When I moved to the Yukon at age 26, I thought it was the most awful place I had ever been. It was small, remote, quiet, and bleak. But I was giving it a year to pay off my student loan and I was determined to meet my goal. One day, I wandered into the […]

She one ups me with a better story… she saw a Bushman. So, what’s a Bushman? A Bushman can also be known by other terms: sasquatch, yeti, abominable […]
You Can Ring My Bell
Lesson: Old Timers Are Pretty Darn Smart I can’t say for sure where the origin of the bell in the bar came from. I have heard several versions including the bell warding off evil spirits, sailors ringing the bell, and more. In mining towns, specifically gold rush towns, if you find gold you ring the […]

Squish Squash: Am I a Bad Mom?
Imagine you are playing a highly competitive game of squash against your 14 year old daughter…who happens to be nationally ranked. It’s a tournament and it’s the men’s division, as she has to play in the A league. I can’t recall if it was the finals or semi-finals, but we ended up playing each other. […]
Janet & Jeff Do Dawson
I was working in Dawson City, Yukon leading the planning for a major gathering of private and institutional investors and mine owners from around the world. It was around the end of the conference, and it had been a long few days and late nights. My son, Jeff, was with me and sleeping in the […]
