Article writing...
I have to write an article for the Guiding Ontario Newsletter. It doesn't have to be very long, which is good, because the deadline for submissions is tomorrow.
Considering how I toiled over the last article (and produced something far superior to what usually appears in that publication, in my humble opinion) and it got canned, I'm hesitant to ( Read more... ) -
Die, mice, die!
A haiku....
I can hear the mice.

more about my knee

Christmas festivities
I've been at home since Tuesday and I'm finally just getting used to having people around again. I hadn't realized how much of an impact living alone on the woods would have on me until I came back to civilization again. Even when I was in Toronto last week, I was still staying alone in a hotel room. So, despite the urban jungle, I was still ( Read more... ) -
Ahh, civilization!
I've been in Toronto for the last few days for work and I have to say that I've really enjoyed feeling like a part of civilization again. At the same time, I'm quite glad to be heading back to my little, backwoods corner of life today ( Read more... )
