"All by myself, don't wanna be, all by myself, anymooorre!"

Shea's mom had a couple days off so Shea and Pace headed down to Weyburn on Sunday for a brief visit, returning tomorrow. It's been good timing as that's allowed me to pluck away on the new Mac for a couple days without interruption – I mean, I love Pace more than anything in the […]

Dream of Consciousness

Tomorrow's a day off for the working world but for me, it's the first day of a full week off before I begin my new job.  I'm pretty excited to have the week even though I know we'll never get done everything that we want to do.  I mean, our list ranges from easy picks […]

A Peek at Peak Oil

Peak Oil is a theory that is increasingly relevant as the price of oil and gasoline continue to skyrocket.  It was first proposed in the 1950's by an American geoscientist named M. King Hubbert who worked for Shell in Texas and correctly predicted that the supplies of oil were limited in the United States and […]

Friday Fun Link – Floating The Bow (June 13, 2008)

Well, we're back from Calgary and it was a great trip! Pace was an amazing traveler, we saw lots of friends, family and old familiar sights.  In many ways, it felt like we were trying to cram three and a half years of memories from when we lived there into just under a week of […]
