Geese are scary. I’m not normally afraid of nature (not true, I’m scared to death of many things in nature ie snakes and spiders. Oh and weird bugs and weird lizards and weird anything really), but I had a bad and exhilarating experience the other day. I was minding my own business (rarely true) walking around the man made lake in my neighbourhood and was … Continue reading Goose Attack
The home I grew up in did not applaud my lazy moments. I feel that there is much pressure to make huge deals of things that not long ago fell into the “legally required to do” category. “You passed kindergarten!!!! Congratulations for doing what you were legally required to do!” I love anything school and accomplishment related as it concerns my daughters, but there is … Continue reading Energy
“Awwww! That’s the Babiest Bunny Ever!!!” So said Erin on our early morning walk as the rain misted down on us and the world’s tiniest bunny huddled on the walking path.

If you are looking at buying a particular kind of truck you’ll see one every block, if you think “I haven’t seen so-and-so in awhile” you’ll run into them at the store, it’s just funny how it works. Sadly, I’m … Continue reading Hedgehogs
I was out walking with staff the other day and I kept interrupting them for two reasons: One: I’m allowed to because I’m the boss and Two: Nature was distracting me. We have staff meeting at my place and I looked outside where the sun was shining and birds were chirping and said “I wish the boss would let us have the meeting outside! Wait … Continue reading It’s Just Magic
“When I get to heaven I’m going to shut my brain off and just be super SLOW!” These words were uttered outside of a local store to my wife following a conversation with a worker who was not paying attention. “Actually, you were quite patient… like for you:)” she said. My parents expected a lot from my brother and I. Far more pressure was applied … Continue reading Not That Bright
