75% health and fitness, 25% life and 100% me!
It's finally February!!! Not that February is like a great month, it does have Valentine's Day if that's your thing but it means that January is over! Call it seasonal disorder, the winter blues or just the low point of the year but lots of us, including me, find this time of year tough. The... Continue Reading →
While most things about living in Nova Scotia are just wonderful dealing with Nova Scotia Power is definitely not one of the good things. Power outages are widespread, long lasting and often in circumstances that really add up to just regular storm. We are fortunate enough not to live on one of the problem circuits....

In a lot of ways 2021 was a lot like 2020 again around here. But there was one big and important difference. In 2021 we already had one pandemic year interrupted so we kinda knew what was coming in 2021. 2020 turned out not to be a running year for me but it still taught... Continue Reading →

Here we are going into season 3 of covid strong and 'celebrating' our second pandemic holiday season. Our little province has done well through most of the time but a poorly thought out self congratulatory university event has us pulling numbers that are on par with the worst numbers nationally since this has all begun....

Every year I write something about new year’s resolutions because as basic as they might be thinking extra hard about the path forward has really helped me out in the past. I have done the typical quit smoking and get fit resolutions in the past I have done more existential idea type resolutions too. More... Continue Reading →
Best Christmas present ever! I wanted to give you all a bit of a life update but it's not enough for a full post and it's not all that dramatic. I'll probably still make it longer than it needs to be though. I wrote a little about this sort of thing, celebrating calm times, a... Continue Reading →
