I’m obsessed with mail. I love checking the mailbox and receiving things, but I also love sending things via the post. When I went to Thailand a few years ago, leaving Mike behind, my brother’s partner Bruce helped me mail him postcards and cards twice a week for the four weeks I was gone. Our [...]
I am told the best way to deal with ear worms (i.e. songs that get trapped in your head) is to listen to the full song.
Lately, I have been pining for Tokyo. I’m not sure why, exactly. It’s been a long August and as Mike so kindly points out, I haven’t been on my quarterly [...]
Last week when in Thunder Bay my family joined our other family (well, good family friends. they aren’t blood related, but are as close or closer than most of my aunts, uncles and cousins) for some backyard chats and pizza.
It was a very real “Oh, we’ve grown up, haven’t we?” moment for me, as Tory [...]
My gran died yesterday morning in Thunder Bay, and people are gathering to go to her funeral on Tuesday. Although she had been up and down in health the last few years, she really did not improve after this last bout of illness.
My mom arrived in Thunder Bay earlier in the month and readied her [...]
So I’m still recovering after my super long weekend (not a long weekend in the good sense, either) but here’s a few things to pre-post about my weekend at Indy.
I spent almost 12 hours at Indy on Saturday and then another half day editing video the next. Here’s the panoramic I took with the camera [...]
… but then got big. I didn’t think I’d done enough cool things this week to warrant a post, but I sure did drag my camera everywhere so this post is much bigger than I thought it would be.
I started off at West Ed mall earlier last week where I went a little crazy shopping. [...]
Have started golf lessons and bought clubs.
Assimilation of golf fashion has begun. Visiting Lacoste store tomorrow.
The car has arrived! No official name yet, but accepting suggestions.
Paint job is new; it’s sparkly yellow mica paint and is lovely.
The car is a 1993 RX-7 (left hand drive) and came from California. It’s now street legal, so we [...]
When I saw the ad for my current job, it was like a bolt out of the blue. Home Depot was trying to woo me back and it was early January 2007, just after a trip to Hawaii. My mom was reading the paper in her room, and as I talked to her I casually [...]
I was able to get a few shots this past week from work. But it’s hard to do when you work with naturally curious people, and so I missed some things. Plus, I actually had to work, and this weekend was a bit busy.
I have quite a few photos, so I’ll probably split this post [...]
Wordpress, the software I used to blog with, released a new version a few months back. I’ve been having fun with the blog tracking stats tool, something I hadn’t really paid attention to before. It lists popular search terms used to find the site and the entries that get the most reads.
My most popular posts/pages [...]
