• An Ominous Cloud

    Since the middle of January, our household income has all but come to a halt. When everyone is worried about not catching a virus that can kill and are locked down to avoid contact with others, they generally don’t shop for fitness wear it turns out. And they most...
  • Taking A Hike

    For the first time, I think, since the mob built Sin City out here in the middle of nowhere, the Governor of Nevada has declared a state of emergency and Las Vegas has shut its doors to the world’s debauchery seekers. Thousands of enterprising young damsels no longer have...
  • Guy Time

    With three kids and a couple of businesses to run Ana and I have not been spending enough time individually with our kids. We do a lot together as a family but that precious one-on-one time has been rare, too rare in my opinion. So last week we decided...

    I caught whatever has been floating around out there in virus-land and was sick for over three weeks. It started with a fever, aches and pains, and extreme fatigue, which then morphed into a deep and debilitating cough, more fatigue, and general uselessness. If you’ve had the pleasure this...
  • Meeting Moniro

    I was born and raised in the prairie province of Saskatchewan, Canada, and emigrated to the United States of America almost twenty years ago. According to some, from their vantage point south of the 49th parallel, I left utopia. And I would agree, for some it certainly is, but...
  • We Had An Epic Battle

    The same scene plays out every morning between 5:30 and 6:00. Jesse calls out for mommy or daddy, and we draw straws to see who gets to fetch him. Soon he is nestling into a sliver of space between Ana and me in our bed and ordering up whatever...
  • But First, Coffee

    Coffee, like pretty much everything, has changed a lot since I was a young man. It’s still dark and steamy, and it still puts lead in your pencil, but ordering a cup has a measure of complexity to it now that didn’t exist back then. I remember my first...
