bookish

Wednesday, January 5, 2011

This is my favourite picture from the holiday season. Natalie and I were on the way to the mall to get a Sears portrait of Elsie, ’cause sometimes you just have a hankering to sit through a photo session at the mall during the Christmas rush with your toddler. Am I right? We stopped to [...]

Thursday, October 14, 2010

Nothing says fall like yellow leaves captured from my warm seat at The Good Neighbour. Can I categorize this under ‘Artful Pursuits?’

A precious Victoria day. I can take or leave the Victoria part…and couldn’t even muster the energy to read the entire Wikipedia page on the history of the holiday…but time with family is certainly precious.

funny. or not funny.

Thursday, April 22, 2010

Funny thing happened to me in Shoppers Drug Mart! Or not funny at all depending on how one views being harassed by the woman trying to sign you up for a Shoppers Drug Mart credit card. Certainly material for a stand-up routine, if you’re willing to admit that you would submit to such tedium, not [...]
