Technically, I am still on vacation as school doesn’t start for a few weeks yet. Realistically, my summer is kinda of over as the work at the school is heading  into it’s third week. We’re planning for one last gasp of a trip to Manitoulin next week, a four day ride which will be not [...]

Finally. After what felt like weeks of going back and forth with insurance agents, I was able to get all the ducks in a row so I could ride this weekend. My pal, Moose, has his bike license now and agreed to join me. What can I say about riding that I haven’t said before? [...]

I keep sitting down to write a decent blog post, get about halfway through then think, what’s the point? I’ll stare at the screen for a while, then save the draft with the thought that I’ll come back to it later. I’ve just deleted twenty-odd drafts. That pretty much sums up 2010 so far. With [...]

About a month ago, the man and I were out to dinner at a surprisingly quiet Caplansky’s (mmmm…knish). While we waited for dinner, I watched a young family at another table waiting for their meal. There were two young boys, happily colouring away. It triggered a memory of when I was a kid, and I [...]

It started with me saying, “Hey hun, want to go to the ballet on Sunday? Tickets start at $20.” There was a long pause while Keith gave his best deer-in-the-headlights look as he decided if he wanted to go or not. Honestly I’m not sure who was more surprised when he said “Sure!”. Yesterday, we [...]

Bubble bath in the scent I love, but that Keith is not fond of. Massive Attack on the cd player. A new novel. The blank creamy page of an expensive Italian journal bought on a whim, and a heavy pen with dark green ink that flows smoothly across the paper. A magazine I’ve never read [...]

Last night, my beloved took me out for dinner. We’ve often talked about going to the Rectory Cafe on Ward’s Island, but it always gets pushed aside since it’s not an easy drive away. We decided to make the journey last night as we won’t be seeing each other for a while, with Keith working [...]

I looked at my husband over a plate of ribs last night and between bites, told him how productive I’d been during the day while he was working. “I worked on a blog site for a friend, then tweaked a client’s site a bit. I wrote another Alaska tale and edited two others. I finished [...]

Keith and I have been hanging out the last few days, going for drives both purposeful and aimless. Why driving? Because once more, I have returned from Okie Vegas limping. Unlike last year, it’s not because I drank too much and tripped in a hole 2″ deep. I was perfectly sober, and walking across the [...]

Many thanks for all the well wishes for the Mother-In-Law. The situation is not looking good; it was a right brain stroke which has translated into left-side paralysis. It’s looking like she’ll be in the hospital for rehab for a very, very long time. Keith says she was in good spirits today – she was [...]
