Fixing A Scratch In My Vinyl

Now, the weather outside is frightful, when inside it is so delightful…and it snowed, and it snowed, and it snowed. Hadn’t pretty much all winter, but it made up for it this past weekend. Then once the snow had all fallen, the temperature dipped to -25 (or more) for about 48 hours or so. Even had to drag out my -40 big-ass Sorel moon boots … Continue reading Fixing A Scratch In My Vinyl

We Mourn Like Elephants

As you no doubt are aware, Elephants grieve. They stand by their loved ones and shed tears. They bury them, even recognize the bones of friends and family; and even can pick out their loved one’s skull from a group of others. They stay by the bodies or come to visit loved ones after death.

  • Of Superpower, Wealthy White Boys, Botox’d Stepford Poodles and Hope
    I think each of us has our own superpower. A thing we do with uncommon skill. It often, I’ve discovered, takes a good while to find, or accept, or understand, or feel. It’s different in everyone, how it manifests, and when. Often, or just as often, we are tricked into believing that our superpower is the thing we are maybe most known for. However, over …
  • Lessons on Resilience from Canadian Solidarity
    I’m an American citizen who grew up in Canada—because why settle for a normal childhood when you can have a frosty mix of hockey, maple syrup, and universal healthcare? My dad is American and my mom is Canadian. The one element that defines both families, is generations of ancestors in the same place, on the same land, going back to well before the founding of …
  • From Doomscrolling to Hope: A Journey Through Canadian Patriotism
