Yep. It’s home. A KIA sportage now lives in my garage where the Echo used to. No room for car seat in that puppy. More later.
I am so bad. I couldn’t even write every day for a month. My respect for columnists has just gone through the roof. I’m not worthy. But… I will (even if slightly delayed) get my 30 in…. even if I have to do 3 in a day…
Edmonton, Canada - A seven year old boy was at the centre of an Edmonton courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him.

While getting coffee this morning I was hard pressed not to notice the police carsw with their fancy LED lights blazing and flashy yellow police tape wrapped (again) around the Karioke bar on 34th ave and 99st in South Edmonton.

Day 5 of 30: March 11, 2007
I noticed today the stark absence of vehicles in the driveway three houses counter-clockwise from us today. That can mean only one thing. Blane and Jodi have finally gotten 12.4 minutes of sustained peace and quiet with their brand new daughter Jaida.
I remember our first few days home. We […]
Once in a while - the stars align and things go as you planned (even though they didn’t.)
LT and I headed out at 9am for the Red Deer River at Dickson Dam just west of Red Deer Alberta. We decided for a laugh to go via Innisfail and pick up Subway sandwiches along the […]
Today doesn’t feel right. I feel like I turned my back on things…
