Kony 2012 (and some thoughts on Inactive Activism)

If you’re like me, you probably woke up yesterday to find your Facebook, Twitter and other social feeds flooded with links to a video called “Kony 2012“. Most people posting it didn’t have much more info than that so I didn’t watch it right away – partly because its length (half an hour) and partly […]

Music Monday – “And then we’ll be married/Then we’ll be man and wife/No dress rehearsal/This is our life.”

Have I posted this before? I feel like I have but I spent some time this weekend importing old Tragically Hip bootlegs into iTunes and it reminded me of how fully and completely (get it?) I used to be into the Hip – trading bootlegs, traveling around to attend different concerts, studying Gord’s lyrics like […]

Just some stream-of-consciousness thoughts about our trip before allowing myself to slip back to the “real world”… – Shea’s highlight was Anini Beach – My dad’s highlight was the helicopter tour we did of Kauai – I forgot to ask my mom what her highlight was so I’ll say that it was hearing me admit […]

Hawaii Trip Highlights

Well, we made it back from Hawaii and are now suffering that weird mix of happiness and sadness that you feel when you’re glad to be home after a period of time away but also wishing your holiday never had to come to an end. I was going to try to do a list of […]

Hawaii Trip – Jelly Fish

Shea and I could’ve sat and watched this exhibit at the Maui Ocean Center for hours (except Pace was rushing to the shark tanks and it’s pretty hard to argue with that!)

Hawaii Trip – Snorkelling at Molokini

Molokini is one of the world’s best scuba and snorkel spots. Shea and I went out yesterday for a tour and during the trip, I asked our guide to take our picture. I expected him to just snap a quickie from the surfboard where he was sitting watching our group but instead he hopped off […]

Hawaii Trip – Road to Hana

A few shots from our trip on the infamous “Road to Hana” today. You must stop for hot-from-the-oven banana bread around the halfway mark (coincidence – I have an Aunt Sandi who’s a major fan of all things Hawaiian!): The view of a black sand beach: One of the many waterfalls along the trail (the […]
