I Don’t Like Me When I’m Angry
It’s the start of July and I’m here with another update on how things are going with mom. Since I have very little in the way of outlets to express my wide variety of emotions, I’m choosing to do it here. Be prepared. There’s a lot of raw angst about to flow through my keyboard. … Continue reading
We’re All A Little Tired
It’s December 31st and the new year starts tomorrow. We’re about 2 years into the COVID pandemic and we’re all kind of tired of everything we have had to endure. But above all else, we’re exhausted with hearing our “leaders” change their minds every week about what makes the most sense to keep us safe … Continue reading
Meet Donna: The Voice of Criticism
If I have learned one thing over the years, it’s that somehow writing things out does help. If you go back through the history of posts on this blog, you’ll find many long rants of mine where I just vent out whatever happens to be on my mind at the time. I talk about my … Continue reading
It’s Just Not That Simple
I have been seeing a lot of commentary about Greta Thunberg and climate change and with the Canadian election being held today, I’m seeing plenty of content on Facebook about people claiming the whole thing is a sham and it’s just some kind of Liberal scam to keep them in office. Aside from the fact … Continue reading

This is on the heels of the federal government’s insistence that single-use plastics be outright banned country wide by the end of 2021. I heard about this … Continue reading
Finding Comfort in 4A
It was May 20th, 1993 and I had no plans that night. As usual, my roommate was hiding in his bedroom so the living room was open for me to watch whatever television I felt like taking in that evening. I sat down in front of my TV, turned it on to NBC, and said … Continue reading
The Highs and Lows of my Employment
I don’t know if I say it often enough, but the truth be told, most days I love my job. I am fortunate enough to work for a company that lets me travel around the world, meeting new and interesting people, and killing them. Ok, maybe not the last part. But I do get to … Continue reading
F*ck Father’s Day
NOTE: The following post is probably NSFW due to course language. You have been warned. As the father to an 8 year old girl, and an almost 10 year old boy, I appreciated the little gifts my kids gave me for Father’s Day. I loved being told I was a great dad. I also loved … Continue reading
I’m on vacation
I took a few days of vacation prior to my actually “work” I had in Orlando. After my work week there, I came home to a full week off work where right now, I am doing as little as I can. As an added bonus, the wife has been gone all week and the kids … Continue reading
