Twenty Years in One Photo
Just after Daegan was born we took a photo of three of us in our kitchen in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Ten years after that, having moved to a yurt and then to the desert southwest and then immigrated to Canada, we … Continue reading Twenty Years in One Photo
Toronto by Library #27: Danforth/Coxwell Library
First thing this morning, Sage and I leave the house. Our plan is to go to an art store to pick up canvases and paint for her, and to get breakfast. The art store is right next to the Bus Terminal Diner. This restaurant has been around for decades and has a really nice retro decor with big cushy booths, a counter with round stools for those eating alone, and most importantly big greasy American breakfasts with bottomless cups of coffee. After that we’ll go across the street to the Danforth/Coxwell Library. Continue reading Toronto by Library #27: Danforth/Coxwell Library

The library is in a part of the city called the Annex where we lived from 2013-2015. It is an interesting mix of quiet residential streets and a vibrant street life on Bloor street.

Enjoying Daegan’s Photos
One of the things I’m most happy about is that Daegan is able to capture photos of me in a way that feels very much like me. Generally when I see myself in photos, I tend to cringe a little. It is clearly a photo of me, but it captures me in a way that I feel doesn’t quite show who I am. That’s not true with photos like these. Continue reading Enjoying Daegan’s Photos
First Snow
I struggle some with winter as some of you know. I feel trapped inside by the cold and snow and spend most of winter wishing that it were not winter. I hate to admit it but sometimes I can feel … Continue reading First Snow
