Call For Submissions

Damn, I need to get some balance back in my life. I haven’t had time to write, and I really want it.
Although saying that I haven’t had time is an excuse, and not a good one. The recent job change has had a big impact on my life. It has largely been positive, but there [...]

Journeys Southward With HouseApe 1.0

It was a pretty busy weekend for me.
HouseApe 1.0 had saved up her birthday, Christmas, and odd-job money. She had enough for what is, in Western Canada anyway, the latest in trendy-trendy-trend wear, a Lululemon hoodie. I don’t know if this is a trend in your part of world yet. If not, wait for it. [...]

There Are No Words

I was at a memorial service on Saturday at a not inexpensive seniors condo. The service was held in the lounge – a bright, airy, large room with comfy furniture, a well stocked bar, giant TV, and the worst artwork I’ve seen … well, ever.

Sunday Morning Notes

Several of us here have been fighting headaches for the last couple of days. Chris and HouseApe 2.0 had them on Friday/early Saturday, and I started coming down with it late yesterday afternoon.
