  • Belated Halloween Posting

    I have been quite remiss about blogging lately! I remember in October thinking “I should do NaBloMoPo ((i.e., write a blog posting every day in November)) again and then somehow it’s halfway through November and I hadn’t posted ((Until yesterday.)). But once I got on my blog to write a posting for my mom’s birthday, […]

  • 2021 (a.k.a. 4719) Starts Now

  • I jumped out of a f&^*ing plane!

    So yesterday I jumped out of a plane. Because that seems like a reasonable thing for a person who is afraid of heights to do, right? Long time readers may recall that time that I hung off the side of the CN Tower. It was terrifying and I was sure I was going to die […]

  • And then I did two!

    So I decided that I needed videographic evidence to prove that I can, in fact, do an unassisted chin up, so I asked one of the trainers at the gym to take a video of me doing a chin up. And much to my own surprise, I did two!   View this post on Instagram […]
