Writer. Editor. Runner. Yogi. Nature lover. Wife. Sunday, September 11, 2011. Ten years ago today I had just started my work day at the Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University, where if I remember correctly, my job consisted mainly of eight hours a day of data entry for a graduate program audit (my, how some things have changed). Ten years later, so much of the stories we are hearing is about remembering those who were lost and celebrating the heroes who came to the rescue at Ground Zero. B...

Ceebie: July 2011

Writer. Editor. Runner. Yogi. Nature lover. Wife. Saturday, July 02, 2011. Sunday Scribblings: Hitched (Or, Tilting at blue skies). Do you remember the flowers you bought me for $1.99, that time you came. To keep me company after my operation? They were so anemic-looking then. Dried up and weedy, and not a bud in sight. It was difficult to imagine they'd one day turn beautiful,. But you told me they'd come back, so I believed you. We planted them in rows, watered them, then had tea on the balcony,.

Ceebie: October 2006
http://ceebie.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Writer. Editor. Runner. Yogi. Nature lover. Wife. Thursday, October 19, 2006. Writing about my family, particularily my dad, has always been uncomfortable for me. Coming from a strict British household where the world "love" was rarely said, but often showed, it was difficult for me to show my dad how much I love him. Even worse was seeing him cry for the first time ever when he dropped me off for my first day of university. He tames her hair. Into two ribboned pigtails. In the evenings,. His china doll,.

Ceebie: Sunday Scribblings: The gift
http://ceebie.blogspot.com/2011/06/sunday-scribblings-gift.html
Writer. Editor. Runner. Yogi. Nature lover. Wife. Sunday, June 26, 2011. Sunday Scribblings: The gift. The morning had passed in a blur of bright lights on the TV screen: talk shows, reality shows and canned laughter tracks. Pleasant, numbness distraction, only inches away from the comfort of her bed. All she needed to do was reach out her fingers and change the channel if the numbness got too - mind-numbing. It was all so effortless. Until the young girl with the frizzy blond hair interrupted. Reaching ...

http://theleisurologist.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Musings, Fluff and Pixel Dust. Tuesday, June 30, 2009. There's Starving Men In Canada. Some people get their literary fill from Shakespeare, Gore (Al or Vidal), Chaucer, Dostoyevsky or the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Not me. I'm a bottom feeder. I get enlightened by reading bumper stickers, though not while tailgating. Now, here's the things in my fridge that came from within one hundred miles of home:. Do you now understand why I've titled this blog post 'there's starving men in Canada'? I doub...

Essays from East Lawrencetown: The wearing of the poppy
http://sadpercy.blogspot.com/2011/11/wearing-of-poppy.html
Essays from East Lawrencetown. A Nova Scotia blog. Friday, November 11, 2011. The wearing of the poppy. The many faces of Remembrance Day. Here, where there was no war, just commerce and volunteering for service overseas, it is a very sombre week, everyone wears poppies and it is full of ceremonies remembering all the soldiers who fought in WW1 and WW2 (and others of course). (it is also a big drunk for many). It was a defining issue for the young country of Canada. Friday, November 11, 2011. East Coast ...
