Labour Day weekend saw a bunch of family gathering at my parents farm for a BBQ, some fun & games, some laughs, and to come together and spend some time together. It was a wonderful time, one I thoroughly enjoyed. Too often do we allow the schedule of our daily lives, keep us from seeing […]

Stardate 94301.29 Sleep still proves evasive, and yet as i type this (ever so slowly) with one hand, as the other is holding someone while she fussily sleeps – I wouldn’t trade this exhausted haze for the world.
