Found this clip buried in a folder on my hard drive… One thing I’ll always remember about this trip to a writing event I helped organize in Medicine Hat in 2002 – why do event organizers (even other writers who should know better!) often provide a huge meal right before an event when the energy […]
Going to Hawaii a year and a half ago was one of the best trips of my life and I’m constantly thinking about when we’ll be able to get back (short answer: probably not for a long time!) But if I can’t get there in person, I can pretend I’m there, even when I’m still […]

For the past month, my Aunt Sandi has been visiting from Kelowna. Having lived most of her life in Regina, she moved to Kelowna when my grandfather was getting older to look after him and ended up staying there after he passed away. We sure miss having her in Regina but love her annual visits […]
