2018 - Should I Return From My Blogging Hiatus?

Well. It's been a very long time since I've "picked up a pen" and divulged my thoughts in a blog. For some reason, I decided to come back here a reread some of my work, and wondered why I stopped. I admit I was busy, lazy, out of stuff to talk about. I figured no one was reading and just stopped. Was it a need for attention? Was I getting the desired amount of focus? Maybe, but I forgot that I liked to write and share.

 Everyone goes through life drifting from one friend to another, one job to another, one interest to another. I was a Star Wars fan, a bald eagle watcher, a urban cycling commuter. Now, not so much. Have I drifted away from things I love due to laziness? Perhaps, but maybe it's time to return to my blog. Lots of things have changed in the time I've been away. Everything from a "partner in crime", a new cat and dog, a new job, and loads of new experiences.

 I also have lots of new "rants", timely at my age! Getting older brings on the supposed "wisdom" I have. Hmm well that's only in my mind I guess. Obviously if you've kept in touch via social media, it's like the "Coles Notes" version of my life. Short and sweet. Here I can present the full view.

 So, on that note, I am hoping to keep adding to my blog. Hopefully someone will be reading...

 Here's some pics over the past "disappearance", of new things happening in my life.

Adults and Toys - Do Adults Ever Really Grow Up?

Every morning I drag myself out of my warm bed and prepare for another work day, as everyone else does in numerous routines and rituals. I pop in my earbuds and tune out the nearby noise, listen to the news while doing my daily puzzles on my mobile phone on the bus, and mentally prepare my "To Do" list. Looking around the crowded bus I always look at the similarities students wear to university, checking the popular brands and styles. At one point during my employment at the university, I created a "style" Bingo game, matching brands and styles students wear, and I always tried to figure out how these younger "starving" young adults could afford Nike Air Force One sneakers, Canada Goose parkas, Blundstone boots and the like. I do this today, sneaking a quick snap of the style and Google Lens the style (no faces of course), sometimes outwardly scrunching my face at the price of the item on my screen. No wonder these kids are starving, they can't afford ...

And Just Like That ...

  Like a cozy sweater, I wrapped myself in the past, took a deep breath and pushed play. I knew what was coming, and I was already familiar with the first episode of its release, but knowing I had full access to every episode made the experience more personal. There was no familiar theme song as it wasn't a reboot, but it had the feeling of something you know like the back of your hand, like that smell that brings you back to your grandmother's home or the taste that transports you to another time in your life. It was almost like the feeling returning to a numb limb, with which I have had recent experience, two carpal tunnel surgeries later. My brain, or rather my soul, was awakened from the fog bathed in for what seemed like forever.  I decided to use my time back in New York with ladies from my past. Although fictional, they definitely were part of my life, playing out storylines side by side with my life on the tube weekly. Having them back, 20 years later, aged and lived i...

Christmas Dinner 2023

Christmas dinner is not a challenge for me, unlike most people all over the world. Depending on your main dish selection and the corresponding side dishes, the difficulty level can differ for anyone, but I always suggest keeping it on the simple side so you can spend more time enjoying yourself than living in your kitchen. It was just my partner and me this year, keeping it a bit low-key and quiet. He just started a new job and didn't want to go too crazy, doing a little extra studying during the festive days off. His decision was leg of lamb, which I was happy with as turkey for two is either too much trouble or not special enough if using turkey thighs for your main dish. Using my kitchen and cooking tools (and skills) was a great decision, making our neighbourhood festivities available while also having time to cook. After visiting the local pub and enjoying a few rye and cokes (beer for him) we tried to gather an appetite, filling up on Christmas brunch with my family earlier i...
