Running late. (as usual)
Note my youngest offspring is trying to hide something in his pocket. (as usual)
The Mama: Whatever it is, take it out, and hand it to me slowly (this is the best way to do it in case something alive happens to be handed to the mama).
Out comes a plastic gun. I have […]
…that’s not to be confused with communism (about which I have no official stance) - but definitely related to a word close-by: “commune” — and don’t think I thumb through dictionaries and thesauri for FUN or anything…
Anyhow - just marveling at the communication channels of the world - ones that I’ve woven myself into. I am […]
So. The ten year old boy of the house doesn’t follow in his mother’s mostly sappy interrogation methods…
(for example, my query of the day generally sounds something like: “what was the best part of this day - the bit you’ll keep in your head forever…” - CLEARLY far too whimsical for the demographic…)
Nevertheless, when he […]
So my little baby niece, Ella, (you know… the fairly new one) Yah… Well…. She’s been out and about in the world for a few months now and absolutely rockin’ it. In fact, the other day I saw her and her (equally as fab) mama told me that she: “grew a tooth today”. Grew a […]
Lapse! I’m sorry. Life, as you know, can unexpectedly become filled with insane fun… And though I don’t want to give into the temptation of excuses, it is, after all, summer. SUMMER.

I don’t do novels in the air (or in airports) because I am either on another planet (gratitude of the excellent […]
Having never rented a car before, I found myself in Calgary this weekend doing just that. I had to fly in for a funeral… drive myself to a remote cemetary some 2 hours away, and drive back to catch a flight. Thus, when the exceptionally kind car rental man told me that it would be […]
Just like a good lipstick collection (obviously needed for a superior life experience), I think it’s important to find a good people collection. There are some kinds of people we need in our lives…
The Listener… what can I say? Good ears are hard to find and we all need them! (Beware of those really good […]
To get the excruciating back-story, go here. If you’d like to save yourself from shaking your head till it hurts, you should probably just go to some other blog.
Dear Telus Communications:
(Please pause as I grin. After you hear my story you will be able to see the irony I find in your name. Classic paradox.)
We moved […]
We’ve heard a lot about the Law of Attraction lately - thanks to “The Secret”. I like the book. In fact, I’d venture to say that the giant pair of rose colored glasses I own are representative of the ideas in there. Anyhow, we were walking home from school the other day and my little […]
