While reading today’s post on my friend and fellow-blogger Elizabeth Harper’s site today, I was reminded of something. The day that HK and I were to leave Vancouver this summer, I took one last run along the seawall to my favorite little park that overloooks the sea. The park, a … Continue reading
Ahhh–Labor Day is behind us, and even tho summer isn’t officially over until late September, most people consider Labor Day to be the segway into the Fall season.

2008 is over. I know, it was officially over on Thursday, Jan. 1, but our weekend was spent taking down holiday decorations, putting stuff away, and generally just cleaning up. That, to me, signifies more of an ending than a beginning. Closure. So yesterday, Monday, Jan. 5th, I actually felt like … Continue reading
