Day four or is it five? Honey is losing steam. Her grandma mode is fading and everyday she seems just that much more worn out. I think I can use this to my advantage. “You know Honey,” I would say, “if we lived on an island thousands of miles away they are less likely […]
There is one real advantage to getting out of bed in what others would consider the middle of the night, the solitude. You are not really alone but at four in the morning you’re pretty damn close. I personally like it, not the days when I’m getting up to go to work but the […]
I have to cheat this week, I didn’t get anything new finished. For any new reader’s that may not understand the new name of this blog, it stems from the picture and my ongoing battle with Mother Nature, my one true nemesis in life. The bitch hates me! November 2012 I am Canadian, […]
