So, after a flurry of activity this weekend, I am much more in control and not so sad, despite the fact that it is still snowing. Still snowing. It’s been a week now of snow, blowing snow, and the sky matching the snowy, snowy ground. Someone who lives in a much, much nicer climate than […]
The Apocalypse? Or PMS?

Yesterday I was so blue and everything seemed bleak and grim: my legs ache and hurt constantly, there are unspeakable tragedies all over the world, I need to do the soccer scheduling, I have to write an article for the community newsletter, the sky is grey, it’s been snowing for five days, it’s cold and […]

Well, not really. I grew up here and March is not, to me, a spring month. It’s a WINTER month. My birthday is in late April and that is when spring begins for me, which is not to say it won’t snow after said birthday, but it’s spring snow, rather than winter snow. Big difference. […]

Certain special days do not translate well for everyone. For example, Robbie Burns Day – does anyone who is not of Scottish heritage really want to eat haggis and listen to bagpipes? I’m half Scottish and I certainly don’t want to – or President’s Day, which does not carry over very well to countries that […]

I am perpetually cold. I wear a minimum of two layers at any given time for ninety percent of the year. The other ten percent belongs to the days that are spent vacationing in warmer climes and the two to three weeks a year in Calgary that temperatures actually warrant the removal of a sweater. […]
