Quick Description: My Apartment in Georgetown
After posting about houses (Looking at Houses), someone asked me what my apartment was like. I’d take some pictures and use those to show you all, but the place is a a bit of a mess right now, not that it looks nice even when cleaned up. It is a…

Church Website
So recently, I started helping out with Annie’s church’s website. A new priest started working at Holy Cross a few months back, and I noted that the website hadn’t been updated with his information. After talking to him a few times, it looked like they couldn’t get the details they…

Looking at Houses
Annie asked me the other day to look through Realtor’s website and pick out a nice house in the price range we’d be able to afford. She also told me that I could look anywhere in Canada. It was really just an exercise in showing her the disparity of prices…

Family Meetup
Annie and I recently hosted a meeting between our families at the Presqu’ile provincial park. I rented a large shelter for us to use that can seat as many as sixty to eighty people. For the thirty people that showed up, it was more than sufficient. We had a whole…

New iPhones Confuse Me
So, Apple has announced their new phones and nothing was a surprise after all the leaks on Apple blogs over the last two months. I have to admit to being confused though as I thought the iPhone 5C was going to be the “budget” iPhone. With a no-contract retail price…

Introvert Time
One of the things that I really love about my fiancée is that she allows me something I call “introvert time”. A few hours to a full day where I get to just be by myself. It doesn’t mean we don’t talk, or that I spend the entire time sitting…

Avoiding Cliches?
As Annie and I get nearer the end of our novel, one piece of writing advice that I see everywhere is to avoid cliches. Thinking about our plot, I’ve tried hard to avoid them, but with the last plot twist, I feel like we’ve come across one that is unavoidable.…

Reflections of Self
One of the most interesting things, as I age, is how I perceive the person that I was when I was younger. I can reflect on the mistakes I’ve made, and what came from them. Growing up, for me, was a series of difficult moments, but none more so than…
