Not long ago I was sitting on a sunny patio in Yaletown with djbeat, swilling overpriced martinis and laughing at the foolish businessmen chasing tiny women in tiny skirts. We dined in fabulous restaurants, drank too much champagne and danced until we could dance no more. We were single, we were hilarious … and we [...]

Doubting Tango
October 23, 2009 – 4:12 PM
Every now and then something happens to trigger a feeling of doubt. The first domino falls and soon my mind is filled with needless worries and worst case scenarios.

Pass Slipped Stitch Over …
October 5, 2009 – 7:57 PM
When we moved to Cabril it was a shock to discover that our Internet connection was slower than molasses. Skype is out of the question and waiting for any graphics-heavy page to load is excruciating. YouTube is now verboten. My frustration soon grew to new levels and I began to avoid my “vintage” computer altogether.
Then suddenly [...]
