Sorry for the slowness round here this week. I needed a bit of brain rest, then we got some sad news we weren’t expecting, and now I’m fighting off and mostly whooping the ass of some sort of cold type thing. It’s amazing what you can do and how quickly you can do it when …

Traditions And Memories
Here again is Gill, this time talking holiday traditions and memories. Here come the holidays! Like it or not you will probably go somewhere with your family. You probably also have traditions that have gone back generations, like the sumtuous turkey dinner with all the trimmings, or the joining of hands to say the blessing. …
Discomforting People
Gill just sent this in, which is kinda nice considering I didn’t get to bed until close to 3 this morning and had no intention of putting anything up today even if I hadn’t done that. Related: if another chance ever comes around, go to a Great big Sea concert. It’s absolutely worth it. I …
The Coolest Dream
And now, a bit of a break from the Black Friday madness for a few words from Gill. As many of you all probably did, I grew up watching Sesame Street. When I was little I would marvel at the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 song, and wonder …
Average Person
Let’s start off the morning with some Gill, as she reminds us all that being average is ok. Being average at something has always been a goal of mine, actually. Hopefully one day I’ll reach it. I am not going to discover a cure for cancer, but I definitely won’t set my hand on fire …
A Few Words From Steve, Then Parental Quirks Part 2: Those Things They Say
Happy freezing ass Monday, everyone. Just what we hoped for after our freezing ass weekend, am I right? No? Yeah, didn’t think so. Believe it or not, Carin and I seriously went out for frozen yogurt on freezing ass Saturday. We felt like idiots at first, but once we walked into the place and saw …

When Musicians Sell Out
Oh hey, it’s a guest post from Gill. But before she begins, I must disagree with her or at the very least pose a question. At what point did Hedley rock? I must have missed that. If you are watching the Gray Cup this rather cold day you might notice who the halftime performers are. …
The Movies Of My Life, Part 2: The Worst Of The Worst
This being a day that ends in Y, that must mean that it’s time once again to hear from Gill. Remember friends how in our last chat I warned you that I would tell you the nightmares in movie seeing that I have had? Well sit back, or maybe put your head between your knees …

The Movies Of My Life, Part 1: What Did You See First
As promised in the last post, here’s Gill. Think back to when you were small, or maybe not. You may or may not remember your first trip to the movie theater. It might have been as a tag-a-long with an older sibling to see Star Wars. Maybe it was a glimmer of happiness during tough …

Discomforting Questions
It’s been a few days since we’ve heard from Gill. So… For visually challenged individuals questions are apart of life. How does this look? Am I too close to something? Where the heck is my other shoe? Our sighted counterparts have questions when they encounter us as well. Some are routine have you been blind …
