Things got a little hectic after Christmas, so I neglected to post this. It was… baffling, to say the least!

I get some weird search phrases, but this one stood out in the crowd.

I love that my immigrant grandparents made a life here, and my memories [...]

I blame the winter temperatures here in Toronto for sending my appetite through the roof these days. I experienced cold weather in Pennsylvania, but I wasn’t outside as much as I am now except when David and I went flying. I remember learning in my first Archaeology course that the way humans deal with cold [...]

I whipped up a Sunday lunch of pork chops and mashed potatoes, then stuck it all in the fridge and headed out the door because the winter light today was so good.
(Those crazy camera people, huh? They’re always yakking about light.)
When I drove to Philadelphia a couple of weekends ago, it was the same brilliance [...]

I arrived home late after a cinematic bingefest. I used to go to the cinema on my own from time to time before I met David, but we watched so many films together (especially through Netflix) that it took me such a long time to get back into the movies. I’ve gone with a few [...]

I’m really going to pay the price for staying up late, but I watched the presentation that I put together for Vinny’s memorial, all 145 slides. It was the first time I’d watched it since it was shown at Hamburg Airport on March 25, 2006. It took most of a week to put it together, [...]

When I went to bed last night it was already a winter wonderland and the snowplows were out in full force. By then I’d already given up the idea of driving to the flight centre after work, but it stopped snowing in the afternoon and the sun came out to melt some of it away. [...]
