So today’s Wednesday, April 15. Though it’d be hard to tell that by looking out into my yard today, with the fresh dump of snow we received overnight. Seriously, anyone would be forgiven for thinking that we’d skipped a couple of seasons, flipped summer and fall the bird, and just headed straight back to winter. […]
So it’s midweek here in Port Sydney, Ontario, where I live. Our kids are on the third day of their extended March Break and, much like everyone else in this new normal we find ourselves in, it’s starting to kick in. The frustration. The boredom. And, yes, the anger. Anger that life will probably be
So a year or so ago – January 11, to be precise – I published a piece on this blog about some of the changes that I was going to be making. I’d been experimenting with podcasting for a few months leading up to the post, and had really enjoyed the experience. Additionally, due to the
The departure lounge is getting fuller these days. A quote from a book I’ve just finished, “Made in Scotland: My Grand Adventures in a Wee Country” by Scottish comedic legend Billy Connolly.

Art illuminates the world around us in a way that words would often struggle. Yet at the same time, a single word can change the world in ways a
This morning, as I was getting the kids ready for school, my eight year old son Ewan couldn’t find his gloves (we think he left them in mom’s car, and she had left for work). So, he dug into the hat and gloves pile and found his mom’s winter gloves. “I’ll wear these pink ones,”
So I realized last night, as I was looking at some updates on here, that I hadn’t posted any content for more than six weeks. That’s a lifetime! Or at least, it used to be… It’s not that I’ve run out of things to say, or lost interest in blogging/podcasting. Far from it. I’ve just
