Another year full of challenges, but my daughter survived.
A personal reflection on finding unexpected love and joy after embracing solitude, and the liberating effects of letting go of social media and embracing real connections.
Today is Bell Let's Talk Day, a day focused on mental health awareness. For the past few years, I have been using it to talk about a theme for the next year.
Another challenging year, but coming out stronger than in the past.
I feel rather horrible for my daughter tonight. Second summer in a row where her bestie is moving away from Kelowna.
I think my daughter is one of the slowest eaters ever: 30 minutes to eat a bagel.
Racing to finish the final season of Downton Abbey before GoT starts again. Always pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy this show.
That moment when you get all the business at once.
I bit the bullet this year and signed up for Amazon Prime to take advantage of the free shipping through the year.
That time of the night to pour a whisky has come, I believe.
I made the mistake of trying a different whisky from my reliable favourite. Not as tasty, but takes the edge off. Success.
A late night test for cross-posting.
I believe everyone goes through their teenage years exploring the multiple facets of life until they have that one experience that makes them say, “This.”
I have no words for how mentally exhausted I am feeling this evening. I wish this life thing would get easier, not more difficult, as time marches on.
Late to the party, but the first two seasons of Downton Abbey are quite good. At this late hour, I will saw they’re flawless with the character development and pacing of the stories. Just enough mystery to keep me completely engrossed in the storyline.

Best news of the day for me comes via Jason Kottke: IKEA products are now available on and directly from Amazon. This means that some things are also available for Amazon Prime shipping to get your things within two days. I thought maybe it would be the smaller household items, but there are some furniture items available too. Including my coffee table, and my daughter’s arm chair. You can also buy these fun kids’ plates there too. If you’re in the States, you can even buy the Swedish meatball
An incredibly exhausting day for both me and my daughter, but my thoughts are with a dear friend who flew to Vancouver to say goodbye.
Today, Ryan Holiday announced his latest book on his brilliant reading recommendation mailing list.
