Spring

31May06

There is a time that I do adore,Before the meeting and thinly veiled hate.A twilight of ignorance, I’d describe,That you can’t recognize until it is too late. I think that I feel like that about you. “If I’d only known then…”I’d lie.I only learn by experiencing.“I’d have appreciated…” I’d pretend.I only remember by suffering. I […]


It’s been a week since I’ve posted anything in here. Usually that means that I’m going to sit down to try to make myself write a post. Which typically leads to something that seems forced and half-assed. And today is no different. With that said… Read on! As I was showering this morning – and […]


You may remember my story about the day I spent with my 8 year old (9 now!) cousin. She is also the twerp responsible for an infamous series of sketches, including “Peter Pooping.”* Let’s call her “the monkey.” Please don’t confuse her with ACN (Adorably Cute Niece.) This morning I stumbled upon an old journal […]


Since I am busy working on something else, I don’t have time for a long post today. Instead, here is a picture of me when I was a wee little tyke. I am sitting on the steps of a courthouse, with my (late) RCMP officer uncle, drinking a beer. Welcome to Cape Breton. I drank […]


Some random nuggets this morning… – The other day my father asked me, “Is there an actor named “Shitley Killinger?” I replied, “I don’t believe so.” He thought for a minute and then said, “I think I may have really screwed up the People Magazine crossword puzzle.” – The word “balls” still makes me giggle. […]


I’ve debated writing this post. Quite frankly, I don’t feel like I have the writing skills to adequately express what I want to express. I’m not sure that I can do it anything close to justice. But, I’m going to try… Today is my niece’s birthday. Five years ago, my sister was 25 weeks pregnant […]


Hi. How are you? Oh really? Good to hear. You are looking well. Wow. That’s a little forward… but appreciated. Here’s the thing: 1) I’m exhausted. I’ve had a super busy few days – doing something I love – and need some downtime. I’m completely zonkered. B) I’m a little bored with the straight prose-y […]


A while back, I heard my father tell people that my adorably cute little niece (ACLN) will likely be his only grandchild. At first I didn’t really think about it, lost in my own world of fantasy baseball trades and the classic Springsteen songs playing in my head. But, later it kind of struck me… […]


If this is your first time visiting PDDC, let me catch you up… I like watching TV. There ya go. That being said, it should come as no surprise that the words “season finale” cause me to be a little bit bummed. It’s kind of like when you are 15 and the summer is ending. […]


Decisions…

01May06

Typically when faced with a difficult decision, I’ll look at the pros and cons and decide which one outweighs the other. Then I’ll give it the “gut test.” Most of the time this yields one obvious-ish answer. Most of the time. Decisions in general are very difficult for some people – both before and after […]
