I've been sporting facial hair in various shapes, forms, and guises since grunge hit back in 1991-92 - I strongly dislike the round shape of my face and find that a nicely sculpted beard/goatee/VanDyke/patch helps to elongate my Charlie Brown shap...
My wife and I broke out the backgammon set - some of our fondest memories from our honeymoon in the Gulf Islands are the nights we spend in front of a roaring fire, drinking tea and playing backgammon while the Fall storms whipped all around our c...
I'm intrigued by the skill and craft it takes to produce a lovely garden and/or yard - it must be the English in me. However, being a downtown urbanite and having exactly six feet square for a balcony, I think I'll indulge another passion of mine ...
I actually enjoyed this exercise; it reminded me that there are certain facets of my life that I need to explore and develop. It also reminded me that my wife is hands-down the most important person in my life.
I attempted to keep an eye on this today, but it's definitely something that is going to take a while to build into a habit. I work on dual monitors all day and have a tendency to lean forward when focusing on a CAD design file.
I had a complete physical last year when I switched doctors - however, I am due for a full blood workup, so I'll get that done this week.
I'm going to take a bit of a different tangent on this one - I've been wanting to see a good naturopath for ...

1) I respect and cherish my wife above everything else...
I have to place this one in a holding pattern for a few days until we get the final paperwork on the mortgage for our new place - I should be able to knock this one off by the end of the week.
I know I responded to this back in June, but since I'm trying to do the whole thing over again, I wound up grilling some tasty New Zealand sirloin steaks in a smokey bourbon applewood sauce and served it with a dijon potato salad. The steaks were ...
Definitely accomplished this today - had conversations with a home inspector, a young woman with her two children who were checking out the dogs at the local pet store while my wife was oohing and aahing at the peg/pom cross (ugly as sin, those th...
Wow - I have a really great relationship with my Dad, but that was still a bit difficult to write in places. I think I'm actually going to mail it to him; there are things that I need to say to my Dad, positive things, but I think a letter is much...
My wife and I routinely do this once a year - we follow Elaine St. James' Simplicity guidelines.
However, we just bought our first home so we're moving at the end of August - looks like I'll get a chance to really declutter our entire home over t...
