  • Gearing Up for My Twentieth Move

    So, at the end of this month, I’m moving again. This time, I’ll be moving from my bachelor apartment above a convenience store to renting a house from a friend of Annie’s family. It will mean that things are going to be even tighter when it comes to money, but it will be a healthier… Read more

  • Not Feeling the Blogging Vibe

    I go through periods where I just don’t feel like blogging, and I’m in that state right now. Even this post was hard to create. There are unfortunately some really great moments in my life that I didn’t record in a post, and I’m sad about that because my memory can be so horrible sometimes.… Read more

  • Singing in Choir

    Last night, I sang at Annie’s Catholic church. I don’t have a good singing voice and I don’t like singing in front of people. So why did it I do it? Annie and her other choir attendees asked me to sit with them this week since they were low on numbers. I decided to do… Read more

  • Goals for 2014

    Here is my post for 2013, and as you may or may not know, I didn’t complete all of my goals, but I did better than I thought when I wrote them. I continued to review them through the year, and it seemed to help make a difference in my life. This year, I have… Read more

  • Quick Christmas Rundown

    So Annie and I made it through both my family and her family Christmas celebrations. Getting to Kingston was a total nightmare. Poor Annie white knuckled the drive the entire way from Georgetown to Kingston. The roads were icy, and people in Toronto are stupid about driving in such conditions. Many vehicles passed us as… Read more

  • Middle Class Strength?

    The middle class has long been the standard to which most of the world’s population has strived for. The idea that we will be able to live a comfortable life and have enough left over to purchase the odd object of desire or go on a reasonable vacation. I have been in the work force… Read more

  • Editing Second Class Supers

    It looks like editing our first draft is going to take almost as long as writing it, as Annie and I slowly work away on our printed manuscripts, finding issues, errors and changes we would like to make. There are nearly four hundred printed pages, double spaced for us to work on, and we are… Read more

  • Bronchitis: The Plague

    So, I’m still not fully healed, but I spent nearly three weeks fighting a rough bout of bronchitis. I had to take some time off work, and I was pretty much useless otherwise as well. I am glad that things got better without antibiotics, and that it didn’t become pneumonia. The endless coughing, the fits… Read more

    My Christmas Letter 2013

    This year has definitely been one to remember. So much stuff has happened, I’m not even sure where to start. Here is a link to My Christmas Letter 2012, for those that are interested. First off, I should mention that I moved to Georgetown. Last year, I was thinking about where I wanted to live,… Read more

  • Visiting the Mothership

    Annie and I just got back the other night from visiting the headquarters of rocketgenius, the company I work for. We went to Virginia on Sunday, and had a great time. The company party on Monday night was amazing, the weather, while rainy, was warmer than here, and I came back with a ton of… Read more

  • Christmas Stress

    I know Christmas is not supposed to be all about the money, but I also feel like it is hard to give things to people that they want without it. We live in a consumer based world, and how do you go into a home with something that they’ll enjoy when the things they want… Read more

  • Being Sick

    I don’t do well being sick. I find it hard to focus on getting better. I find it hard to give myself permission to focus on getting better. I want to be productive, and I’m hard on myself when I’m not. The discomfort is annoying, and I can’t wait to get better. Sometimes though, because… Read more
