Jen had the day off today, well at least until after school, so we took a bit of time this morning and went for a walk around the marsh. The water had a skim of ice on the top in some places. The grass and cat tails were shimmering with a bit of frost. OurContinue reading “Morning Walk at the Marsh”

Car == Fixed
A couple weeks ago I wrote about how my car wouldn’t start, and since then it has been sitting in the drive way not going anywhere. We made out fairly well on one car, although it was challenging at times and we burned a lot more gas driving just the big SUV. Today that cameContinue reading “Car == Fixed”
Running Progress
In early November I set a new goal to hit 500km in running before the end of the year. That meant that I have to run 25km per week to get there. In the beginning I was doing very well, lately I seem to be making it to the end of the week and having toContinue reading “Running Progress”
One Year Automattic Anniversary
Today marks my one year anniversary at Automattic! For most people that probably doesn’t seem like a very big deal but for someone like me it really is. My first “real” job was when I was 16 years old which was 20 years ago. Before that I had summer jobs, things like my paper route, andContinue reading “One Year Automattic Anniversary”

While helping a friend try to troubleshoot and figure out some performance issues on her WordPress site I also went in to addContinue reading “WordPress Menus and PHP max_input_vars”
Getting in the Christmas Spirit
Today I started out a little bit on the cranky side. There was no real good reason for it except that I knew it was going to be a busy day and I was feeling rushed already. Before I had even finished my morning coffee I had to start hurrying so that we could getContinue reading “Getting in the Christmas Spirit”
Old Car Problems
For a couple minutes today I thought I might be running home unexpectedly. Luckily after calming down a bit and thinking things through I figured out how to avoid that. Previously I wrote about how I love my old car, and really I still do. However not sure I would trust it as our only vehicleContinue reading “Old Car Problems”
Where Has The Time Gone?
For those of you not in Nova Scotia we have both a vehicle registration that has to be renewed every two years as well as a safety inspection by a mechanic every two years. The end of November is when our registration was due to one of our vehicles. Today my wife went online andContinue reading “Where Has The Time Gone?”
Stressful Couple Weeks
Glasses seem to be a common thing in our family. Jen wears glasses for some things, for the past few years I have worn glasses pretty much all the time, Caile now wears glasses, and Alex did wear glasses when she was younger to help with an eye turn. So even though Ella hasn’t hadContinue reading “Stressful Couple Weeks”
