I recently had a friend ask if we had “seasonal pillows” in our house. After a brief discussion, I learned that there are people who change out their cushions to match the colours or themes of the seasons and holidays throughout the year. This got me thinking about our humble couch and I realized that … Continue reading Seasonal Pillows

Hangin’ Around
My wife and I are the proverbial “empty nesters” and that has brought about some exciting changes with how we utilize our living spaces. One of the biggest changes we have made is to transform our spare bedroom into a giant walk in closet, or “dressing room”. We opened up the wall to make it … Continue reading Hangin’ Around
Big News – and a little history
Warning - this post contains some background information that some of you may find… well, boring. As long as I can remember, I have been putting words onto paper - yes actual paper, I am that old. I started writing stories as a child, using a manual typewriter that my parents had. I would make … Continue reading Big News – and a little history

Due to an abundance of social events this year, such as the recent graduations and weddings, I have to share this important informational bulletin regarding visitations.

Online Buying and Selling – bargain hunting or a twisted social experiment?
We live in an age of unfathomable technology and information. The world is, quite literally, at our fingertips. We can be sitting on the couch watching Seinfeld reruns, pick up our phone and place an order for a George Costanza bobblehead figurine from another country and have it shipped to our doorstep in time for … Continue reading Online Buying and Selling – bargain hunting or a twisted social experiment?
Thanksgiving Needs More Cowbell
Happy Thanksgiving. It's that tiny window in our year, wedged between summer frolic and Halloween. I say wedged because Halloween is a full two month ordeal around our house, with decorating, planning meals for a Halloween party, designing costumes - there's very little time for this turkey nonsense to be honest. However it still is … Continue reading Thanksgiving Needs More Cowbell
May contain wheat – unlike my pet rock
I freakin love hamburgers. There, I said it. Judging by the number of hamburgers that are consumed worldwide I can also only surmise that I am not alone. I’m pretty sure McDonalds didn’t change the “billions served” sign solely because of me, although in my burger hayday I certainly did my part to help. I … Continue reading May contain wheat – unlike my pet rock
Keeping your sanity: A non-political rant about politics
I rarely get involved in politics on the internet. And by rarely I kind of mean never. Honestly I would rather stick needles in my eyes than get involved in a political argument online. This does not mean I do not have my own thoughts and beliefs, I just know that the chance of winning … Continue reading Keeping your sanity: A non-political rant about politics
