Even though Caileigh got married last September, it’s still weird to think that one of our kids is married. Caileigh and Chris lived together for a few years before getting married. But the milestone of marriage adds another layer. I have an adult child… I mean, we have three adult children. Getting married doesn’t make…
The Player’s Guild is putting on a Mother’s Day show. It’s called Listen to Your Mother. And will be performed a few times on Mother’s Day weekend. Deb is going to be reading a modified version of our toast for Caileigh and Chris’ wedding. And I will write something else. About mothers. Or a mother.…
Yesterday, I said that I would listen to the woo woo a bit more. “Woo woo” is my word for the mystical. The magical. The interconnectedness of things. Today, I saw a Facebook post from Playwright’s Guild of Canada: And I thought to myself, “I wonder what Prairie Theatre Exchange is up to?” So, I…
I often go back and forth when thinking about Life, the Universe, and our interconnections. Part of me is pragmatic. Embracing my logical side. Just the facts, ma’am. And part of me is mystical. Embracing my irrational side. Basking in the “woo woo”. The unexplainable. We’re beings of energy and all kinds of possibilities exist.…
It might shock you, but I didn’t do any running while I was on my trip to BC. I know. Crazy. But then when we got back, I had the sobering realization that the Around the Bay road race was only four weeks away. And I had only run 16km as my longest distance. The…
I’m grateful that I’ve been able to cross off my first item from my 5-Year Plan: Visit Keaton and Kate in BC. Yay! It was a great trip. And so much fun to be able to spend time with all three of our kids and Kate. Without having to share them with their various in-laws,…
Last month as a pleasant surprise. Weight-wise, that is. I didn’t get as much exercise in as I had hoped. And I didn’t get to bed earlier enough on a consistent basis. But I still managed to lose 2.7lbs off my average weight for the month. So, I was down to 206.5lbs. With a high…
The last day out West arrived sooner than we wanted it to. Our flight was leaving at 11:20am. But Caileigh was heading out on an earlier flight, so we said our goodbyes to her the night before. When I got up, I went into the living room and had a shock! Caileigh was there! She…
This was our last full day out West. And it was going to be special. Even though the day before was the most important. Because of the trivia. Today was the day for the BIG meal. Keaton was going to be smoking some meat in his smoker. Chicken, pork loin, and sausages. Yum yum. But…
Today was the most important day of our entire visit. Yes, it was my birthday, but that it isn’t why it was so important. It was Trivia Night at The Mighty Peace Brewing Company. My birthday celebrations were secondary to the big event. But before that, we went for a hike on the Cactus Trail.…
