Stuff in the Bottom of my Filing Cabinet

Posted on May 1st, 2012

So, I was going through my filing cabinet, looking for a certain piece of paperwork, but I also came across a couple of other things… My first passport, used twice! (It surprises me that a passport issued to a child as young as I was at the time would still be valid for 5 years. [...]

The Countdown is On!

Posted on March 12th, 2012

Tonight I just booked my first flight in like, two years, or something.  It’s been so long since I’ve been anywhere, I forget when and where it was!  Anyway, I booked a flight to see my best friend Stacey, who lives in the States.  We talk pretty much every day but we’ve never met!  This [...]

Eagle Watch 2012

Posted on January 28th, 2012

After years of trying to get there, I finally went to check out the Eagle Watch today.  Eagles are prevalent in the area at this time of year and for two weekends during their peak time the community of Sheffield Mills organizes a festival of sorts.  They put out food in the mornings to lure the eagles [...]

Wanderings: The Forks, Winnipeg

Posted on March 2nd, 2011

I lived in Winnipeg, Manitoba for about two and a half years  around the end of High School.  It was not my favourite place on the planet, for sure.  Despite this, there were parts of the city that I loved.  Assiniboine Park, the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature (as it was called then) and [...]

Wanderings: Wieskirche

Posted on February 2nd, 2011

The beautiful rococo church “Wieskirch” (White Church) is nestled in the Bavarian Alps of Germany.  I visited the church while on a weekend tour of the area back in the summer of 2000.  It was a semi-unplanned stop, if I recall; one of those ‘we’re ahead of schedule, why don’t we go visit this nice [...]

Wanderings: Local Coffee Shops

Posted on January 4th, 2011

A little preface to this post – I don’t actually like coffee.  (gasp and horror, I know!) Luckily, coffee shops generally sells other yummy, hot drinks as well. So whether you enjoy coffee, those funkily named drinks, tea, hot chocolate or even pop (depending on your coffee shop of choice), take an hour or and [...]

Wanderings: Weinachtsmarkts

Posted on December 1st, 2010

While living in Germany, we did a lot of travelling, both near and far.  Some weekend, we would just visit local markets.  Those were always a blast in their own right, but nothing could beat the weinachtsmarkts – Christmas markets - of November and December.  As these were specifically Christmas markets, there was even more to see than at [...]

Wanderings: Thanksgiving Chapel, Dallas

Posted on October 6th, 2010

It’s almost exactly a year since I went to Dallas, Texas for Fan Days III.  I booked a couple of extra days to explore the city and really enjoyed the tour of the city that I created for myself. One of my favourite stops on this tour was the Thanksgiving Chapel - and not only because I [...]

I Was an Escort – Star Wars Celebration V

Posted on September 22nd, 2010

If you’ve been reading this site, or following me on Twitter the last few months, you know that I was prepping for a trip to Orlando for Star Wars Celebration V.  Finally, the time for my trip arrived.  I left from work and slept at the airport.  I’d planned to do a lot of writing [...]

Wanderings: County Fairs

Posted on September 1st, 2010

When I was younger, we lived in Alberta.  I’m sure we had county fairs, or exhibitions, or whatever they would have been called, but we never went.  Maybe it was too far away, maybe it cost too much, maybe it wasn’t publicized enough and we never knew about it.  May we just weren’t interested. It [...]
