  • Disturbing Dreams

     It’s just before 10:00am on Saturday morning and I woke up about half an hour ago.  I was having dreams about Verdie and Mawmaw again, but this time, Verdie was alive and Mawmaw was dead.  I was at the house on 13th Avenue and in Verdie’s room and she and I were looking through Mawmaw’s…

  • Oregon Trail

    It’s been a while since I made an entry, so, in spite of the fact that I’m having a hard time keeping my eyes open, I wanted to do a little catch-up… Last week, I got the ring that Deidre sent me that was Mawmaw’s.  It looked just like I remembered and fits perfectly on…

  • Oh Happy Day

    I wanted to make an entry for today because it was a really good day overall.  I was cranky this morning when Tracey wanted me to get up at like 7:45am or something insane like that, but once I got up (around 10:00am) , the day improved dramatically.  First, I woke up to find that,…

  • Sixx Shooter

    I’m lying on the couch trying to think of what I should write. It’s been a wild week, to be sure.  I have been super busy with the Southmere and Pacific View projects for Rennie and, naturally, they all decide to start responding to my inquiries about various things they want on Thursday.  I should have…

  • Rock On, Guitar Hero, Rock On

    Today was a bit of a get-nearly-nothing-done day.  I woke up at 12:30pm and laid in bed for a while. Deidre called to see how I was feeling since I had talked to her last night and had a few beers.  I talked to her for a few and then tried to motivate myself to…

  • Rock of Love and Yawning

    All told, I should be in bed right now. I’m tired, have a bit of a headache and have tons to do tomorrow.  I got the OK today from Rennie on the Southmere re-design, which will be another nice chunk o’ change in the bank when it’s all said and done.  On the flip side…

  • Giving Thanks, Canadian Style

    Being a dual citizen has its perks – you can live/work/travel on either side of the border, carry two passports and feel like a real, live spy and adopt the not-so-attractive title of “dually”.  But, one of the cooler things about being a dual citizen is that you get an extra, “official” opportunity per year to…
