We had a health guarantee, but we don’t want to give back Luna, so we will find a way to keep her comfortable and hope she gets to live a good life. Luna just had her second birthday and today we should be on our way to meet up with her litter mates, but we…
It feels weird to write about this since we’ve been living here for more than a month now but Annie and I bought a home. It is a raised bungalow with Annie, Luna and me on the main level, and my mom living downstairs. The house is semi-detached, so we still have a connected neighbor,…
Almost exactly a year ago, I wrote a post where I discussed the options available to Canadians that interested me with regards to electric vehicles – Electric Car Options, but I was focused primarily on range and price, and since then I’ve come to realize that my top choices might not work. While the Hyundai…
When Annie came to me and said that she will need a desktop computer this fall for school, since it is being delivered remotely, I jumped at the opportunity to build a new machine for myself and pass on my current machine to Annie.

In March, Annie and I decided to track our mood several times a day on a scale of 0 to 10 to see how we were feeling. Little did we know the world was about the change. I had long wanted to do mood tracking and when I mentioned it to Annie, her eyes lit…
In February, we tried to avoid added sugars. This meant that we could have things like 100% orange juice, but not many other things. You’d be amazed at how many things have sugar, but also how poorly you can still eat without added or processed sugars. My wife continued to join me in this challenge…
I never expected to live this long and now as I near forty, I am freaking out a bit over the idea of living into retirement. When I was in my twenties, I got married, we bought a house, I even took a government job far from that home to try to set us up…
So today, I received the main part of my new 3D printer set-up, the Sidewinder X1. This isn’t the 3D printer I thought I was going to get, but I’ll get to that story soon. I’ve been wanting a 3D printer for several years now and watching the features increase and the price decrease until…
