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

“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. There have been emotions that won’t settle and read more

On running and kicking self-doubt in the face
January 16, 2013 – 7:30 am
It’s hard to believe that California is only two days away. Harder still to fathom is the fact I’ll be running my very first half marathon in the Disneyland Tinker Bell Half Marathon weekend while I’m there! Back when Llisa and I first decided to do this, it felt forever away. Like, January 2013 was read more
Review of a review: The Art of Racing in the Rain
January 10, 2013 – 1:04 pm
To kick off 2013, I decided to re-read my favourite book, The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. Aside from just really, really enjoying the story, I knew it was a book that provided a lot of great life perspective and I felt like I was in a place where I could read more
Farewell holidays, onward new year
January 7, 2013 – 7:30 am
Well, here we are. Right now it’s Sunday evening but I probably won’t post this until Monday morning. To me, Monday morning feels like the true and appropriate beginning of all things new. After two weeks of holidays (with thanks to my ever fabulous employer for the generosity) I’ve spent virtually my whole day cleaning, read more
On my morning run

Getting out of bed at 5 a.m. is not fun. Getting out of bed at 5 a.m. is especially not fun when it’s cold out and all you want to do it stay curled up in your toasty bed. But you can’t run in bed (although if you could, I would be a world champion) read more
An overdue retelling of my Midsummer Night’s Run
September 19, 2012 – 1:10 pm
Well friends, it only took a month but I’m finally getting around to writing about the Midsummer Night’s Run that my friend Llisa and I participated in. But I made a video to go along with the post so that’s gotta be worth waiting for, right? Maybe? Whatever. August 18th kind of crept up on read more
Je comprends un petit peu
July 24, 2012 – 3:48 pm
I made this video last week, just before embarking on a four day adventure in the wilds of northern Quebec. With 2012 being half over, I figured this was the perfect time to reflect on my progress with the whole “Year of Better Living” thing thus far. All-in-all, things have been going really well; better read more
Sometimes, you’ve just gotta vlog
July 6, 2012 – 10:47 am
Sometimes you have great, thoughtful, classy type videos planned. And sometimes, you’re deliriously tired and your doorway is haunted by a soggy ghost. It’s at times like these that only a rambly, nonsensical vlog will suffice. Sorry, guys. On a serious note though, if you didn’t make it through the video, I do ask for read more
