Merry Christmas from all of us to all of you!

Merry Christmas Everybody!

Balsamic vinegar and political puppets

I’d almost forgotten what it was like, cramming everyday life into the little pockets of time around the edges of work. I’m sure I’ll get better at it, but so far I’m pretty tired and I’m scrambling to get things done.

Then there’s Christmas. I’ve been watching from a safe distance on facebook as my friends […]

Christmas Re-Cap

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve GC and I worked our weekly shift in the soup kitchen at the Shepherds of Good Hope, serving up tourtiere pie and cauliflower soup and pastries.

Things were slow in the soup line, and there was a Christmas Eve Mass out in the parking lot at 8:00, so we stepped outside to […]
