I saw you on the TV! 2

The Security guard that works in my building is quite the character. On multiple occasions this man has confronted me in a huff, steam coming out of his ears because he’s mad at something I’ve done.

Taste over hunger 17

Have you ever been eating something and even though your hunger has subsided, you still eat because you love the taste so much? Well I had a late dinner this evening, around 9:30PM, and I hadn’t eaten since I ate a sandwich for lunch around 3:00PM, so I was pretty hungry. The idea was that ...

Great outdoors 10

I returned home last evening from a weekend up north where the beautiful weather allowed me to escape from the city to a cottage and hike along Canada’s longest footpath, climb a 220 meter ski hill by foot and by Jeep, toboggan down the ski hill in a recycling box, cross a suspension bridge and ...
