Chasing Waterfalls

I’m struggling here, folks.
There was once a time when I spent a lot of my free time writing. There was little - or nothing - better than losing myself in a world I created. There was no better high than when I thought of some awesome little twist to my story, […]

Oy. My muscles are already stiffening and growing sore. But oh, it was so worth it (of course, I may be singing a different tune come morning when I have to literally ROLL out of bed). I spent the afternoon on a hike with Dan, Will and Jenny (and the dogs, of course). […]

Ohmygod. My eyes are red, and I had to go put cream around them after watching the movie because they felt sore and dry after crying every few minutes.
I heard a lot of criticism about this movie. Oh, it only focused on two cops. Oh, it “so Hollywood”. Whatever. […]

What a week that was! On Monday, I drove Neal to the ship around 7 a.m. On Tuesday, the lawyer I work for picked me up at 5:30 a.m. to go to the airport for our Toronto trip and then I didn’t get home until about 10:30pm. The rest of the week […]

Are you ready to be bombarded with pictures? You’re not on dial-up, are you? There were some specific photos I wanted to share with you, but when I plugged my camera in, I realized that I haven’t uploaded any pictures since before Christmas, so I have lots to share.

A news story that has exploded has caught my attention - that of the “Pillow Angel”. You can read two articles (it’s actually a two-parter) in the Times here and here.
You can also take a look at the parents’ blog here.
The short version is this: a 9-year old child, Ashley, is severely mentally disabled, […]

Sherry isn’t the only one with germs flying around the apartment. Last Saturday night, Dan - one of Neal’s roommates - announced that he was starting to feel kinda icky, and when I got up on Sunday morning, he was blowing his nose and chewing Echinacea and lozenges. By Tuesday afternoon, my throat was feeling […]

If there is one thing Canadians are renowned for talking ad nauseum about, it’s the weather. I believe there is a saying about how true Canadians are never satisfied with the weather.
When Tammy and I headed up to the downtown mall at lunch today - as we do nearly everyday, it seems - I […]

Since I’m currently on hold, I thought I’d post a quickie review of “Little Mosque on the Prairie”. It wasn’t the greatest, to be honest - I chuckled a couple of times, but the writing is lacking and so is the acting, but then again, it might just be a matter of it not […]
