It’s my birthday today and I’m turning a whopping 28-years old. There’s something weird about the idea of being 28 that only really started to dawn on me this morning. Not that I’ve given much thought to the idea of myself turning 28, but the idea of being 28 in general has always seemed like read more
Operation Motherland: Part 2 – Of Desolate Highways and Many a Moose
May 16, 2013 – 11:05 am
To think, it was just over week ago now that my brother Tyler and I were waking up in a motel in Wawa, Ontario with a solid 13 hour day of driving behind us and one more 12 hour push before we made it home. It was also just over a week ago now that read more
Operation Motherland: Part 1 – Preparing for the Vehicular Pilgrimage

Without using Google to help you, guess how far it is from Ottawa to Winnipeg. Guess. I’ll give you a second. Assuming you choose a route that stays in Canada, you’re looking at 2,174 km (1,351 miles for my American friends. That’s just to get to the next province over. Sheesh). That’s the distance I’m read more
All’s quiet on the blogging front…
April 15, 2013 – 2:30 pm
It’s been pretty quiet around here lately. Between double screens, long hours and to-do lists the length of my arm, there hasn’t been much time for blogging. But it’s all been coming down to this week, my friends. This, the last week of the semester. My students will be doing the big presentations and handing read more

When my former PR professor, Kerry Ramsay, let people know that she would be taking a brief sabbatical from her program at Loyalist College, I knew she was up to something. She’s always up to something (good somethings; creative somethings). I wouldn’t have guessed that opening a store was going to be the something she read more
Forget the fools: April 1st is a day I celebrate

Today, Jasper – my buddy and constant companion – turns five-years old. Five. That’s about 35 in dog years. He’s pretty much a proper adult. The more I think about it, the harder it is to believe. Was it really almost five years ago that I met that squirming ball of fuzz at a farm read more

I woke up yesterday to a message from my father letting me know that my grandpa had passed away in the night. With that side of my family so far away, I was left with little else to do but wait. I spent the day awash in a sea of memories (it’s amazing how quickly read more
Facing your fears (creatively)
March 19, 2013 – 7:30 am
Once upon a time I met a guy named Andy. We worked together, I in the PR department and he in the creative department of a non profit organization. Aside from being obviously creative, Andy was also fun and quirky and we became friends. Time passed and eventually we each headed our own separate ways to chase read more
These new Disney shorts are bringing out my inner animation fangirl
March 18, 2013 – 7:30 am
When I was growing up, I considered myself to be somewhat artistically inclined. Nothing too crazy but I dabbled in art and I loved to draw. My greatest muse? Animation. Fun fact: I actually planned on going to art school and everything but changed my mind preeeeetty much at the last minute. That decision wasn’t read more

“Even now, so long after he had lost his first dog he never stopped believing that a dog could make you whole.” – Susan Orlean, Rin Tin Tin: The Life And The Legend For reasons I’ve had difficulty articulating, the past couple of weeks have felt hard.
