People displaced from Ukraine are (rightly) getting a lot of attention right now. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other groups that are suffering around the world. Shea and I were happy to attend this event earlier this week (though disappointed to not win one of the amazing looking cakes in the Silent Auction!) [Edit: […]
One of our neighbours occasionally texts “You up for a pint?” Most of the time he means beer but the other night, he showed up with a pint jar of homemade moonshine his co-worker had given him. (Apparently the secret is to dissolve Jolly Rancher candies in the mixture?!?)
Sasha had permission to invite a friend over to watch a movie this afternoon and somehow that grew to five girls showing up today to watch movies, eat pizza, and hang out for a few hours.

At a Christmas party one of Shea’s nursing colleagues hosted in 2009, one feature was pre-made alcohol shots in syringes. Little did we know how much “get the shot” would change in meaning a decade later! ?
I can’t think of an event that defines America better – the introductions, the crowds, the focus on competition and over consumption (but I’m still going to tag this as “Sports”) 😉
Kellogg’s workers in the States who have been on strike since October (in the US, apparently workers aren’t guaranteed their job after a strike as I believe is the case in Canada) were in the process of being laid off en masse by the company who wanted to hire 1400 permanent replacement workers. A bunch […]
