As I’ve gotten more and more involved with the NDP over the past few years, I occasionally get asked if I’d ever consider running as a candidate. Sometimes it’s tongue-in-cheek (I think) and sometimes serious, like when someone recently asked if I would consider running for city council (I think). When I used to work with […]
I know I keep saying it but where did the last five years go? Wow…
Went to a co-worker’s wedding today and felt like I virtually attended another one with how many updates I was seeing on my Facebook newsfeed. As always, that gets me thinking about Shea’s and my own wedding nine and a half years ago. Talking to some of the other guests at this most recent wedding […]
In exactly one week, Pace starts kindergarten. It’s a cliche but it truly is hard to believe how fast the time has flown. I thought it might be fun to try to rank the major milestones of a person’s life. Other than being born and dying, I know not everyone will hit these milestones but […]

This week's subject was “Kids As Couch Potatoes” and that seemed fairly relevant to our lives these days so we decided to go check it out.Some random thoughts on […]
It's World Breastfeeding Week so here's a song, written by a nursing student, about the subject. I don't usually do a long narrative for my Music Monday posts but I'm got to say that I'm so amazingly proud of Shea for the dedication she put into breastfeeding Pace for over two and a half years […]
Having a birthday in mid-summer has its advantages. One is that Shea and I have a tradition of going to one of the big summer blockbuster as one of my presents. (Well, usually we do anyhow. But the first year we did a birthday movie, I wanted to go to “Jurassic Park 3” but Shea […]
