We likely won’t be permanently into our new house until later next week but that doesn’t mean, now that we have possession, we can’t start getting settled in!
I admit that between things we need for our new house and the usual Christmas pressure to “buy, buy, buy!”, I had a fairly loaded Amazon cart on the go. But I read this article and just couldn’t do it – I mean, I know most corporations treat workers poorly and do anything in pursuit […]
We moved to a newer part of the same community we’ve lived in for fifteen years. In fact, our new house is only about ten blocks from our current house (and shorter as the crow flies)! Because of this, the kids won’t have to change schools (a major consideration in our decision.) Not only that […]
Nothing much, just bought a house! 😉 (Er, obviously this is a story months and really, years, in the making but I’m sure I’ll get to the full story soon. For now, I’m heading to bed after a *very* long day!)

When I was accepted for grad school, we were pretty lucky to find an apartment that a young woman was giving up (I think she’d done a semester and became a “Christmas grad”) so when I started my program in January, we were not only able to assume her lease but buy out a lot […]
A variety of ways to look at the results. How would proportional representation have shaped the results (always with the caveat that even PR supporters like myself have to acknowledge parties knowing the election was happening under PR would change strategies and the results so it’s hard to map FPTP results onto PR models perfectly.) […]

But after last night, I feel like we have the rare situation where every party could arguably be said to be both a big winner and a big loser in some very definitive ways. Liberals Won: The election obviously Lost: But […]
“D for Democracy” – Spirit of the West
I’m not sure if it was something I learned in a political science class or read in a book or when exactly I figured it out. But I don’t think it’s especially profound to realise that, at its core, the biggest difference between people on the left and people on the right is that people […]
