We open our show The Game’s Afoot in less than a month. Our fearless director set a date for us to be off book. To know our lines, that is. And that date has come and gone. I can’t speak for everyone, but none of us know our lines yet! Okay, maybe I can speak…
I subscribe to Seth Godin’s blog. He’s been posting daily for decades. It’s amazing. I don’t read every post. But I read today’s post. About chocolate. And I went down a chocolate rabbit hole. I had no idea that a lot of the world’s chocolate is produced using slave labour. And child labour. Or if…
I weigh myself every morning when I get up. Then I weigh myself again after I go to the bathroom. And I usually weigh myself at the end of the day. If I’m fasting, I’ll even weigh myself before bed. But when I mark down my weight for the “day”, I use the lowest weight.…
Writing can be hard. Especially when you are starting on a project. Getting those first words written can be excruciating. For me, it isn’t for lack of ideas. There’s tons of things to write about. Before I start writing a blog post, I glance at my list of possible post topics. I’ve got about 190…
I finished reading The Comfort Crisis a couple of weeks ago, but I’m going back to read it again. I listened to most of the book with Kindle Assistive Reader. Which is great for listening to the book in the car. But it’s not so great when you want to go back and savour something.…
The new season has started for Vocal Point Choir. And we’re learning the songs for our concerts in December 2024. As often happens at the start of a new session, new people join. And others leave. It’s strange when the choir shuffles a little from season to season. We’ve got two new people singing Bass.…
The C word. Cancer. It still causes anxiety and worry. We have family and friends dealing with it. Last weekend we found out that another friend has got it. With all our advances in technology, why is this one thing we haven’t beaten yet? Why haven’t we developed the cure? Is there a cure? What…
After four months of going down, my average weight went back up in September. My average weight was 202.3lbs. Up half a pound from last month. Not a huge slip. But a slight step in the wrong direction. Two steps forward, one step backward. Lowest weight of the month was 198lbs. Heaviest weight was 207.6lbs.…
Today is our 36th Wedding Anniversary. It’s a lifetime. A lifetime of memories. Kids. Laughs. Trips. Expenses. Families. Friends. Pets. Losses. It’s more time than many people get. And I’m grateful. We’re grateful. We constantly tell each other how lucky we are. It’s not all rainbows and sunny days. I drive Deb crazy sometimes. She drives…
