Since 2020 was a dumpster fire and there was no end in sight, I decided to set modest goals for 2021, because really, how can anyone plan anything amidst an ever changing pandemic? And it was probably a good thing I did because there were enough simultaneous apocalypses, what with the heat domes and floods […] →Read more
Floods Massive flooding in BC has had devastating effects on the province. Some places got a month’s worth of rain in the space of 2 days – and southern BC is a rainy place during this time of year, so a month’s worth of rain here is a lot. Massive mudslides and flooding cut off […] →Read more
Apparently I have broken the blogging floodgates with my recent blog postings, because here I am blogging again! I recently got myself a new iPhone because the one that I had was cursed. It was also old and slow and its battery was crap and it was constantly too full so I was always having […] →Read more
I have been quite remiss about blogging lately!

Slightly Past Halfway Through The Year Check-In On My Goals

So let’s see how I’ve been doing […] →Read more
I can eat indoors at a restaurant with friends. My hockey league has re-started for a summer season. We’re allowed to travel to other regions within the province again – so are planning our usual trip to Kelowna for the August long weekend. My office is working on a plan to get us all working […] →Read more
Today would have been my dad’s 76th birthday. He never got to meet Watson (and he wasn’t particular fond of cats, what with his being a bird man, and cats being bird murders and all), but here’s a picture of Watson is wearing a party hat! We ((We being me and Scott, not me and […] →Read more
