Oh yes! That is my son sticking cheese up his nose. I witnessed moments later as he popped the cheese into his mouth, followed by a satisfying “Mmmmm!” I just placed the heavy bundle of joy in his crib with his bottle after bathing and dressing him. I’m amazed that even now, 15.5 months after … [Read more…]
My trouble is that I’m ambitious. And I’m undisciplined. I both love the idea of reading great books and I enjoy reading great books. Oh, the other problem is that I read very slowly. The Lord of the Rings = 18 months. Crime and Punishement = 9 months. The Count of Monte Cristo = 4 … [Read more…]

Love you lots! Wish we could celebrate together. Check out the little video I made for her. Here’s to the 6th decade!

As I am loading luggage into the vans at the airport, something dislodges my cellphone and it’s case from my belt. I notice once we arrive at the place where we spend the night that they are missing. I look for it in the vans. Les calls it so we can perhaps track it down … [Read more…]
Spoken to me today at lunch by member of a short term mission team member from PEI, no context needed as there really wasn’t a context: And those Frenchies, I have no use for them. And the worst ones are the New Brunswick Frenchies. I’ve got no use for them at all.
I know I may risk losing readers, but most of you don’t leave comments anyway… I know my faithful readers will stick with me. This morning I discovered a belly hair on my own belly that measures 9.5 cm (3 3/4 inches). Isn’t that incredible? As I was measuring it, it detached from it’s home … [Read more…]
I bought k-os’ third album Atlantis – Hymns for Disco last night on iTunes 7 and now I’m burning a hip-hop fever all by myself. Listen! I’m not at all into the mainstream porno hip-hop, the stuff that’s currently strangling top 40 radio. But k-os has thoughtful lyrics and the music makes me sweat and … [Read more…]
