A blog full of memories
It’s my Dad’s birthday today. I would just like to take this moment to tell the world I love my Dad. He’s taught me a lot and –it’s never too late to say: You were right, Dad–most of the time. My Dad is a funny man. He has the best sense of humour of anybody …
Today, Alan and I drove around Petaluma in the Bush-Field truck. I am sorry for Alan though. He was driving. I was talking. Princess Donkey–that’s me. I just sit in the passenger seat and he drives and I talk. I have no idea what I was talking about. I think I was telling him about …
Today was the WordPress meetup in San Francisco. I was a bit late because I’m not familiar with driving in the city and I had to stop and ask for directions twice. I’ll need to get a map I think. The meetup was quite successful. Anthony of www.themacmind.com actually put it together. I’m hoping to …

For those who don’t know what a tuque (pronounced tuke) is–a tuque is a warm, knitted, and usually pointed stocking cap that is a staple in most Canadian wardrobes. A tuque–believe it or not– is purely Canadian (or the word tuque is anyway). Originally worn by French Canadian Voyageurs in the 19th century, the true …
We had moose soup for lunch yesterday. It was a soup my parents had made so I don’t quite know the recipe–except I do know about the moose. It turns out that the last time my Dad went moose hunting, he shot a hermaphrodite moose. It looked like a bull moose with horns and everything–so …
I’m experimenting with multimedia. When I went for my walk the other day, I recorded the sound of my feet walking in snow. The picture isn’t that interesting, but I thought the sound was. Here is my debut audio/video. It’s not a sound that I hear often in California. I wanted to record it. Tomorrow, …
