I was reading a blip on Instagram this morning. Apparently me and my generation are the reason young people can never afford a house. Oh yeah, and the Democrats. The poster was American so I guess as a Canadian that would be the Liberals or NDP. As I delved into the scary world of "comments" … Continue reading I’m a Boomer, Apparently That’s a Bad Thing →

The other day I was reading a little blurb and the author made a reference to Fibonacci. I kept reading and then thought, why do I remember him? Why do I understand the reference the author is making? I know its my love of math and ultimately my University education, so I get where I … Continue reading Why? →

I realized early in my marriage what's not his and what's not mine. Let me explain. Sometimes it isn't the things we share that show how close a relationship is. It is the things that we don't share. Growing up I had a lot of hand me downs but I didn't really have to share … Continue reading Is Marriage About Sharing? That Depends… →

After his death, Ann did a short tribute to the man and published his most famous poem. The Station. Guess what my Mom cut out that day? When my … Continue reading I’m Not About The End Result →

Last summer I once again joined three ladies golf leagues. Why, you ask? Well when spring arrives I am excited and I forget how much I don't enjoy masses of women. Extremely competitive women. Last year at the windup game and dinner for the most competitive league, my partner and I were paired with two … Continue reading Feel the Energy →

Looking back, I would have to say that raising children was the most difficult undertaking of my life. The most common lament for parents is that there isn't a rule book handed to us so we just need to wing it. There were a few things I told my kids about raising their own children … Continue reading Raising children →

Years ago there was the Dick Van Dyke show. But a few years after it went off the air there was another sitcom starring Dick Van Dyke. The genius title for the new show was The New Dick Van Dyke show. The sixties and seventies had brilliant writers. Now I don't remember much about either … Continue reading The Rats are Winning →

Last year I entered the world of Instagram. At first I found it fun and somewhat informative. I am ADHD, love to cook (and eat), I weight lift, I garden, do home improvements. And so I started to follow like minded people. Just last week a man came across my feed who had a unique … Continue reading Childhood Trauma →
