A day of remembrance. The 11th day, at the 11th hour, the 11th minute … I hung my head in emotional meditation and commemoration, recognizing and paying homage to those that have lost their lives, making the ultimate sacrifice for their country and people. I feel embarrassed at my own shortcomings, noting their acts of…
It’s been a quiet year of travel, stateside, for both slaDE and myself … Last year, we were over there almost every weekend, skydiving of course. However, today’s gathering was to celebrate the upcoming birth of Michael Anthony, son of Lisa (Whitmire) and Mike Maly. It’s has been absolute ages since I’ve been to a…
Have you ever had one of those days where you felt completely and utterly blah? I’m not speaking about the typical feelings of mal-tempered health, but rather, experiencing the consciousness where one’s ego is taking a (self-imposed) beating with the truly unnerving squelching of any semblance of positiveness and sexiness. Well today, I’m faced with…
I read a really interesting book lately called “Miracle cures : dramatic new scientific discoveries revealing the healing powers of herbs, vitamins” by Jean Carper. For my own health, I felt that it was important to write down the natural healing benefits of those listed herbs & vitamins. Having done the legwork, I thought that…

I was so excited at the prospect of going in to the “Everything About Sex” trade show, being held at the Ex in Toronto. What a novel idea! Or so I thought it would be … but it turned out to be an over glorified sex shop at the pricey cost of $40 admission for…
I don’t get it?? In, out, in, out, in out, in out …. what do you want?? Of course, I am speaking of Tsumi … the ever-changing Siamese cat who can’t make up her mind on whether she wants to be inside or outside. Again, this morning within a 2 hour span, I had let…
Thanksgiving celebrations just aren’t the same when a family member is missing due to ill-health. My Aunt Doris fell and fractured her pelvis in several places last week and is confined to a hospital bed for the next few weeks. Her partner Craig was there but Dorey’s celebratory spirit was sorely missed ….. It was…
Family time is so important to me, especially after knowing that Christmas may not be spent in their presence this year (again …). It’s not the day, but how you spend it that’s important … Hence the delayed Thanksgiving get-together with Mom and her family, and time occupied with my younger sister before her India…
