Throwback Thursday – Happy Work-iversary To Me! (September 2008)

Friday is my 15th work anniversary of starting at RPL which is hard to believe!  (Uhm, time flies when you’re having fun?!?) I was trying to write a long post talking about the various roles I’ve held at RPL, some of the highs and lows, and more.  But it was just getting longer and longer […]

Sunset (or Sunrise?)

My last post was August 21 when I said I was going to try to get back to (roughly) daily blog posts after a summer of holidays and other distractions. Then I promptly didn’t post again for nearly two more weeks until today. Lots I could write, lots of navel-gazing about why I (still) have […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Sea Urgency (January 2012)

“Sea Urgency” instead of “Sea Urchin” is a malapropism that Sasha coined in Mexico but it applies for this picture taken during a snorkeling excursion in Hawaii in January 2012 long before she was born…

Saturday Snap – Rainbow Backyard

Seems fitting that a rainbow would appear to be landing in our newly landscaped backyard, both because it’s Pride Month but also as a reminder of all the good fortune that Shea and I enjoy in our lives.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Bellagio Fountains (March 2009)

May have told this story before but my parents won a trip for two to Las Vegas and it happened to coincide with a week that Shea and I had booked off. So after a bit of chaos to get Pace (two going on three) a rush passport, we booked and ended up going along. […]

Secular Sunday – First Karen Church

I’m not religious but I could see myself going to this church in an ironical fashion…

Saturday Snap – Charlie Echo

Sasha did a “photo shoot” with Charlie the other day and I was pretty impressed with the results…

Saturday Snap – The Green Green Grass of Home?

We’re having our yard landscaped next week so, if I’m lucky, this might be a photo of the last time I cut grass in my life! (Also, funny coincidence – the kid’s climbing structure ended up going to…our former neighbours at our last house who saw the listing on Facebook and reached out.  If I’d […]
