Winter, I’m sorry

Winter I’m sorry. I may have been a little too harsh on you yesterday, because today you are simply beautiful! I still prefer sand to snow though.

Over the past two days we’ve received our first taste of winter this year. There has been a bunch of snow and school has been cancelled the last two days. Tuesday was blizzard like conditions so there was lots of wind and blowing snow. It’s made me even more thankful again to have a jobContinue reading “Winter Arrived”

Donairs and Donair Pizza

While I was away in Spain meeting my new team one of them, Simon, asked me about food in Nova Scotia and if he came here what he would have to try. The first thing that came to mind was donairs. Truthfully I don’t actually eat a lot of donairs, but when I do IContinue reading “Donairs and Donair Pizza”

But I’m still all stuffed up and can’t breath right. Now I’m just hoping that they actually help meContinue reading “Hot Toddies Don’t Cure Colds”

Thank You

This year I feel incredibly blessed for many reasons, and I’ll likely get into a more detailed post closer to the end. For now I just wanted to say thank you specifically to Pam one of my amazing new team mates. Of course no Christmas Eve would be complete without one last trip to grab someContinue reading “Thank You”

Hillbilly Cappuccino

Recently I picked up an AeroPress coffee maker which is absolutely fantastic. I’ve been making a pile of Americano style coffee. Tonight I tried something different I made a very hurting attempt at a cappuccino. I put some milk in a mason jar and shook the crap out of it. When it was all foamedContinue reading “Hillbilly Cappuccino”

Why you should use WordPress.com

This is something I’ve given some thought to recently as well. Dan does a great job explaining the benefits of WordPress.com. If you need a new website you should really check it out. Daniel Danilov After starting working at Automattic, I was surprised just at how little we advertise WordPress.com. Sure, we power ~24% ofContinue reading “Why you should use WordPress.com”

It had been too long since I’d been to Miner’s Marsh.
