I hate colds, well who doesn’t really. But I also find them rather fascinating. I never quite know what each cold will turn into. I have several variants, two of which I really, really dislike, one of which I generally despise for what it does to me. The Silencer: I get this one from time to time and most people…

It’s done! I never thought I would get married. Just add it to the list of things I said I’d never do that I eventually did do. I really need to be more careful about what I say from now on. I said I’d never teach, I said I’d never go to graduate school, I said I’d never take another…

Our Wedding Song, one of them, the one we danced our first dance to anyway. It was supposed to be Queen, Best Friend, but it proved too tough to do a slow dance to so we switched the night before to Jack Johnson – Better Together.

So instead I will just lose sleep, stress, wake up at 3am with anxiety attacks about all the things that might go wrong…breathe deeply…and think about Greece….. And maybe I’ll just randomly cry for no apparent reason. I think Kirk is actually going…

Late Saturday afternoon I was trying to get the garden cleaned up. I figure we will probably have a few visitors in the next two weeks with this wedding thing happening…and the deck and garden were a disaster after the fall and winter passed through. So out I finally went to clean up leaves and survey the damage wrought by…

How can a pen be worth $80,000 you ask? I figure I am actually being conservative, particularly when one factors in blood, sweat, tears, and loss of income. So ti’s probably worth about 5 times that if you wanted to get picky. I spent about 12 years as a student at UBC. Two years plus a summer at the Bamfield…

The cake has taken more twists and turns than anything else in the wedding planning process. Mainly because I just can’t stomach the associated cost. We started off looking at a web site suggested by a friend. That was when we discovered that the “reasonable” baker charged a minimum of $5.65 per serving or higher, minimum cost $500, plus $100…
