We went out to St.Catharines to visit my mother today, as my dad is in England on vacation and she’s very lonely. Plus the Easter bunny had made a pitstop at her house with underwear for all of us. We also went to the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls, and Shannon and Ari went on […]
Anyone that knows me is aware of my love of crossword puzzles. I started doing them in college to get through the monotony of between-class-time and to appear busy so that the actors wouldn’t bug me with their constant whining. It didn’t stop them, but I did get better and better at them and if […]

I almost typed “Lost Weeners” which would not have made much sense. Ok, a report on my weekend away from my loved ones:
I left Friday afternoon, I think the train was at noon on the button but I don’t exactly remember. I got in the wrong line at the train station, which figures, behind two […]
I have told this story to several people over the past couple days, so I know it very well.
Coming up the long escalator at Dundas West Station the other night, I looked up and noticed something small and grey tumbling over and over on the very last (top? first?) step of the escalator, the last […]
I have to admit, when I heard that skinny jeans were in I laughed. Then I tried a pair on and I cried. This was 3 years ago when I was still living in Windsor and feeling terribly sorry for myself. And I was about 17 pounds heavier than I am now. Naturally, a couple […]
Both cats had nicknames, Seamus was aka Wexler. I don’t know how these names came about, but for a while, it’s what I called them.
Anyway, for once, Rose is not cuddling the underside of my laptop, meowing non-stop. No, instead she is sleeping in a ball beside me on the couch. Sounds pretty good, right? […]
1. At school on Monday, one of the students showed me her new tattoo. It’s a skull with a mohawk on her forearm. At first I was doubtful, but I touched it and it’s real. Then she demonstrated how still she had to hold her arm, for, like, a half hour. Like this. The fella […]
My mom came to visit yesterday. We don’t get to see each other nearly enough, and when we do it always seems rushed.
To make a long story short, her car stinks. It was stinky on (Canadian) Thanksgiving, and we did a quick search for the source of the horrible smell and came up empty handed. […]
I was born in Woodstock, Ontario (see below) and lived there for the first year of my life. Then my family moved to Welland, where we stayed for about 3 years. Then we moved to Queenston Heights, which is near Niagara Falls, and lived on the production chicken farm for about another 3 years. We […]
