So since the start of my most recent bloggin’ hiatus…
Kenzie turned 7… wicked…
Christmas came and went… ’twas good…
The snow (which sucks and I hate) eventually went away… I was happy…
Love-of-my-life Karen and I celebrated our wedding anniversary (#8 – butter statues!!!)
The World Cup happened… everyone here flies flags… this was mine…
The World Cup ended… I was sad…
School ended for the year… “woot” said the kiddos upon successfully completing grade two and senior kindergarten & escaping for the summer…
Which pretty much brings us up to date…
And I’ve just been informed that #8 is actually traditionally bronze or pottery… thanks honey for not making a fuss in front of all those people when I presented you with your statue…
So Bora, my amigo and former cube-farm neighbo(u)r (as apposed to half of the Leeward isle) recently wrote a blog post in which he mentioned something we discussed at work…
This prompted me to a) read that post and b) read a few more which in turn further prompted me to a) subscribe to Bora’s blog as it’s downright spiffy and b) revisit writing a few words here again from time to time…
Indeed… the historical record seems to suggest I take a 3-6 month hiatus from posting here every now and then .. and I think the most recent one may be over… or maybe not – time will tell I suppose… there’s something that I find immensely… I dunno… “aligning” is probably the best word… about dumping my thoughts here regularly that isn’t satisfied by yer facebooks and yer Twitters, the two things that have supplanted this place as a repository for my thoughts…

What a drag… less than a week after our pal Miranda left us her long time amiga Mira has also passed away… Miro was cool… the epitome of the cat “I’ll acknowledge you and you can say “hi” and pet me when I damn well please” ethos… she’ll be missed…
An awful week for pets in our house… Koda’s looking over her shoulder and wondering what’s next…

So I decided to take today off and turn this upcoming three day weekend into a whoppin’ four day affair… and what better way to start the day than with a nice long bike ride through our awesome local trail network???… i was out later than usual and noticed that the sun was just right to make the lighting in each section of the forest just awesome for pictures… like a twat i was without a camera…
Which got me thinking about taking pictures in general… I really like taking pictures but rarely ever do… odd, huh???… so i decided that I’m gonna pack a camera along with me a often as i can from now on and snap away… which i did when I took the dog for a walk post bike ride… and along the way we found this flower… it’s glow-y…

Our cat Miranda passed away today… She was old and she was having issues lately… And as much as I made light of these things, especially lately I dug her a lot and I miss her a bunch..

So it’s the next to last weekend of summer break and it’s raining… and it’s gonna rain all weekend… kinda a bummer but the potential is there for lotsa fun indoor adventures with the kiddos… could be a challenge however because they’re at each others throats constantly these days… it’s definitely time for the school year to start again…
as an aside… the boo, who is six, used the word “penultimate” in a sentence a couple of months ago… I was kinda gobsmacked and rather impressed… I asked her where she learned that word and she said ‘I dunno… I just know it”… she’s used it a few times since too… I like words so I thought that was pretty wicked…
