Christmas is over and the year is very quickly winding down. I’m starting to think about my last few posts for this year where I plan to take a look at the goals I set for 2012 and set some new ones for 2013. But, before I get into the serious end-of-the-year stuff, I thought I would take some time to share a little about my Christmas this year ( Read more... )

Goal setting has been on my mind a lot lately. The last year or two have been pretty free form thanks to the endless demands that Caden Bryce puts on my time.

Life has been a series of if not adventures, then at least interesting events, for the last little while ( Read more... )

I'm honestly starting to think that 'virus' is simply another way for a doctor to say 'I'm sorry but I haven't got a fucking clue what's wrong with you' and, as I'm sure anyone who's ever been told they have a virus and will get better on their own can appreciate, I'm getting sick to the back teeth of it ( Read more... )
