I think. I do. And I do it now unless I don’t do it till much later.
Hoggs Falls in Ontario. There are probably millions of spots like this around the world. Each one is special for the person who experiences it.
This one cooled my feet on a hot summer day, and calmed my soul.

Walking. Flowers. Warmth.

Today I summered.

Finally! We have sitting-on-the-deck weather!

Across two days, we did the first 30km of the #BruceTrail.

This is the most aggressive hike we’ve ever done. At almost 50, I’d say not bad for an old couch potato like me!

My partner and I did 13 (or 14.5, depending on whether you trust my Fitbit app of the Bruce Trail app) of the #BruceTrail today. We aren’t the most athletic: we got over-taken by some women who were probably in their 60’s. But we did what we set out to do!

Let’s see. Tomorrow we may do some more!

This week is filled with the hope only #spring can bring

I’ve decided to try out Substack. I wrote a little something about #purging after #death.

My father died last year. He had retired in 1992, and other than the odd teaching gig here and there, for the last 30 odd years of his life, he gathered books, read books, made notes about what he r...

The Canadian school system does not do a lot of homework.

My son is sitting at the dining table working through 9th grade algebra problems. The look on his face is one of utter pain. But kudos to him - he’s doing it.

My point - if kids were given more #homework early on - it would be normal.

My younger teenage son was racially harassed by an older white man at the bus stop today. We are in SW Ontario. This has NEVER happened before. 1/3

Am I allowed to post about my #insomnia on here today, or is that too #pedestrian given the events we just witnessed?

Is this supposed to be the main platform now? Is this where we engage?

Gave my son (19) a lecture on the importance of getting a job. (He planned on visiting his girlfriend - and I’d asked about his job search.)

I feel like the mood of this home is now as cold as the weather outside.

I know what I’ve said is important. Then why do I feel so sad?

Hot breakfast with great coffee.
A walk by the river with the person I love.
A movie that had nothing to do with reality.
Mom-made food for dinner.

That was my Christmas this year.

We had a budget meeting today. People brought wine.

It was an interesting meeting. 😁

I watched the #movie Hot Frosty. It was utterly illogical and I should not have enjoyed it. And yet I did.

It was the epitome of a ridiculous Christmas holiday romance. It had every cliché. And it all somehow came together and worked.

I am to be heard
Not silenced nor muzzled shut
Words. Thoughts. Emotions.

I sometimes have no idea what the world is talking about. I read a thing and I have no context.

Worse yet, I find myself not caring enough to go google the context.

I know I’m getting old(er?), but am I also getting who-gives-a-fucker?

I’m afraid of echo chambers. This platform seems like it is very capable of becoming one.

Our Christmas Tree is never fancy or perfect or even meticulously done. But my boys and I put it up together. And I get to bask in the lights. What’s not to love???
