Bryson O'Rourke Wedding: Battle Not With Monsters
http://brysonorourke.blogspot.com/2015/05/battle-not-with-monsters.html
It started in 2007 and went on from there. Sunday, May 3, 2015. Battle Not With Monsters. Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. Beyond Good and Evil", Aphorism 146 (1886). Nietzsche quotation is a warning. I take it at full and face value. I would like to read the larger context because trying to contextualize it makes me think many different things. Strangely related is the movie Lucy. Had lunch with a friend on Friday and she ...

Bryson O'Rourke Wedding: December 2009
http://brysonorourke.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
It started in 2007 and went on from there. Sunday, December 13, 2009. The denizens of 20 Corley Ave., 2009. And what a year it was. Alligators, robins, sting rays, raccoons, crabs, cavies: the major events often seemed clustered around animals. Here are some highlights. It was cold, snowy and dark. Naomi turned 5 and she had an extra special party at Glitter Pie. We visited Tweed for Family Day weekend with our friends from Ottawa: Chris, Sherry, Noah, Luke and Eric. May also saw the first of three famil...

Bryson O'Rourke Wedding: There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio
http://brysonorourke.blogspot.com/2015/05/there-are-more-things-in-heaven-and.html
It started in 2007 and went on from there. Saturday, May 9, 2015. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio. I had a dream last night. Kate and I were sleeping in a tree, on branches beside each other. I woke up and said I needed to get down. She said, "Okay, but I'm staying here. It's comfortable.". I have been thinking about adding to my post " Doctor, doctor. More specifically, I have been thinking about responding to Kate's post, " Interesting / not so very interesting questions. As if, what?

Bryson O'Rourke Wedding: November 2012
http://brysonorourke.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
It started in 2007 and went on from there. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. I was going to post this on Friday, November 23, which would be the six month mark since Kate died. But I'm tired of these anniversaries. I just need to let time "run like a river/ to the sea.". Also, on Friday I'm going to the ACC to see The Who perform Quadrophenia. So, here it is, the end. Rage, rage, against the dying of the light. So fuck be to the cancer who took life away from her. It has been six months of too much to summariz...

Bryson O'Rourke Wedding: May
http://brysonorourke.blogspot.com/2015/05/may.html
It started in 2007 and went on from there. Sunday, May 17, 2015. Today is Sunday of the May long weekend, the 2-4 weekend, as it's known. Even though next weekend is the May 24th weekend, this weekend is the May 2-4 Weekend. In that moment, it was peaceful. There was much around that moment, however, that was not. I'm pretty sure that May will never be about anything else for me. The Friday before the long weekend three years ago, Kate and I were at Sunnybrook and it was a brilliant, warm, blue sky d...

Bryson O'Rourke Wedding: Good Times, Bad Times
http://brysonorourke.blogspot.com/2015/04/good-time-bad-times.html
It started in 2007 and went on from there. Friday, April 24, 2015. Good Times, Bad Times. You know I've had my share. I'm so happy that spring has arrived, though the past couple of days the mercury has gone in the wrong direction. Even noted some snow about. I rode to Sunnybrook with her in the back of an ambulance. We'd asked them not to run the siren. It wasn't a bad ride up there. The two medics were young women: vibrant, chatty, full of life. Of course Kate returned the energy. I miss the kids as li...

Bryson O'Rourke Wedding: September 2012
http://brysonorourke.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
It started in 2007 and went on from there. Sunday, September 30, 2012. Saturday, September 29, 2012. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. I was sitting in the back seat of my parents car. And I was wondering exactly where we are. Going down the highway at 100 km an hour. Oh my gosh we just passed the CN Tower. Are we there yet. Are we there yet. Actually, I am responsible for this irresponsible rap, but when Naomi revived it this past week I thought I should record it here. Friday, September 28, 2012.

Bryson O'Rourke Wedding: March 2015
http://brysonorourke.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
It started in 2007 and went on from there. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Through the Black Humor. Below I am posting something from Kate's blog, Auntie Cake's Shop, a thing she wrote, December 15, 2010. She gave it the title, " Virginia Speaks to Me. I'll have something to say about it another time. Take it away Kate:. I worship Virginia Woolf. She has spoken to me at so many different junctures of my life - provided me with solace, and food for fervent thought. My friend Gabrielle found this for me:. I wante...

Bryson O'Rourke Wedding: June 2012
http://brysonorourke.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
It started in 2007 and went on from there. Saturday, June 30, 2012. I ate one of these tomatoes. It wasn't quite ripe, but they look nice. This is the fourth summer I've grown tomatoes on our front, upper deck. They need daily watering and regular pruning, but they are the taste of summer. The baseball, Naomi tells me, came from Mummy. Yesterday Naomi and I took our gloves to the school yard for the first time ever and played a little catch. Friday, June 29, 2012. Some kind of daisy thing. 1 c brown sugar.
