• Malaise

    I've entered into some sort of unsettled mood of late.  It isn't a depression (I know the photos are "darker" but really I'm just playing in Aperture and this seemed as good of a post as any to put them up in) for I'm happy and joking. But I don't seem to do anything. I've…

  • Do I miss the Sun?

    Not really.  Here's the sky from about 12:40 this afternoon. 

  • Sigh, photos

    I guess I should start posting some photos on here, people who have found me via the Canadian Blog Awards for Best Photo/Art Blog will probably expect it. Here's the the thing, its dark out up here. And I'm up against the like of Dave Brosha. Photography in the dark and near dark can be…

  • More Canadian Blog Awards

    Amended…. The last two categories, Personal Blogs and Best Blog Overall, have opened up for voting now at the Canadian Blog Awards. I, along with Michael's Meanderings; Reflections in the Snow-covered Hills; and Dispatches from the Failed Mommies Club (all worthy blogs) , have been nominated in the Personal Blog category.  Feel free to vote…

  • Canadian Blog Awards 2009

    The first round of voting for this years incantation of the Canadian Blog Awards is up.  I'm not sure what to make of the mechanics of the voting this year.  I have no problems with ranking of the blogs, but what troubles me is that, with the exception of a couple of categories, there are…

  • Silhouettes

    Even though we have four vehicles (a truck, ATV, and two snowmobiles) none of them are working right now. The truck has serious braking issues (as in no brakes), the ATV probably could start but has been sitting in the cold for the fall winter and I don't want to spend the time required pulling…

  • Requiem

    On Monday we were no longer at the House. In truth, it was midnight Tuesday before we cleared the last of our stuff out and finished cleaning, the people following us giving us the time we needed. We actually started staying at the apartment Saturday night, and are adjusting to (much) smaller quarters. Monday evening…

  • Up Here again

    Just in case you missed it the first time, one of my posts has been republished at Up Here magazine's blog.

  • My daughter’s eyes.

    Yesterday afternoon I took the kids to school. Usually, when we arrive I say the same thing I always do to Travis "Have fun, learn lots" and he bolts for his entrance. Hilary, because she is in pre-school only goes in the afternoon, and only every second day. I carry Hilary to the closest entrance.…

  • Avast Pirate

    I like to think of myself as a creative person. I write reasonably well, and one day I hope to convince someone that a screenplay or three that I've written are worth paying for. Or perhaps one day I'll get a little more serious about writing some magazine articles that are percolating around my brain…
