Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on July 26th, 2004
Yesterday some friends came by for dinner and a belated birthday celebration. They introduced me to a new drink called a “caipriosca” (cai-pree-OS-ka) that is better than Kool-Aid: Cut 1 small lime into eight lengthwise slices, removing the white stuff in the middle. Place lime slices (all of them) in large tumbler, and mash to Read the full article…

Thank you for driving around looking for me when I was in grade 10 and broke curfew because I was dating a chick in grade 13 who had a van.

Last weekend Phil and I built a fence. I will eventually get around to chronicling the entire experience, complete with animated photos of its progress, but for now, it’s enough to say that I enjoyed it, learned a ton, and hope I never have to do it again.

Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on June 5th, 2004
I hate the morning. It’s slow, and cold, and out of focus. The AM is needy, and persistent, and full of aches. What’s good about the morning that you can’t get in the afternoon or evening? Well, after a long night of work, that turned into a morning of work, I climbed up from my Read the full article…

Thank you for having dinners at the table instead of in front of the TV. Having the whole family together to talk after a day of work and school was a ritual I will always cherish. Remember the food fights?
This Little Piggy Went For My Eyes

Made myself bacon and eggs for breakfast this morning. It was warm and quiet, I had a cold glass of OJ, and I was enjoying the start of my day. It was so quiet, in fact, that I could hear sounds coming from my sizzling bacon that I had never heard before. A kind of Read the full article…
