June 12: I wake up with flamboyancy in my step. Today is our first Philadelphia Pride. Pride has always brought me a renewed sense of confidence, and a revitalized sense of community. In a time of personal struggle with finding my community in Philly, Pride is a motivator to get outside, and to celebrate. As we get […]Read Post ›
Today we welcome back our Philly Phood Blogger, Derrick. This post is more food for thought than food you’d eat, but an important story for those considering relocating to another State, or the USA from Canada.

It’s been 123 days today since we moved from our comfortable home in Toronto, to this unknown American adventure. Although I had mixed feelings about quitting my job, I needed to support my partner’s opportunity, and take my own opportunity to “retire” at 32. It’s been inspiring not having someone tell me what my purpose everyday, […]Read Post ›
I’m currently on my first ‘vacation’ back home to Canada. It’s been 10 weeks since we moved to Philly, and it seemed like it time to come back to my homeland. I needed to reconnect with my family, reenergize with friends I’ve known for years, and to just be in a community that I know. As […]Read Post ›

Hello blog world! I’m Mike’s husband Derrick. As a special treat I will be guest blogging now and then about a topic that everyone loves… food.

Sometimes it’s the little things, like mailing a letter home, that seem like the biggest things. Below is the series of challenges, fights, successes, failures, and all around postal confusion that I faced trying to mail a few items. Mike vs the United States Postal Services (USPS)- FIGHT! Round 1: The Basics: Finding a Mail […]Read Post ›
You may or may not know it, but today, March 9, is National Get Over It Day! Surprise! I had no idea either, until I happened to google randomly if March 9 is any sort of ‘national holiday’ (the things you do to keep busy when you’re “retired”). It is also National Meatball Day in […]Read Post ›
A phone call coming in at 5:35am is never a good sign. Instantly aware, I grab the phone and pass it to Derrick. Even though I was deep asleep, an acute alertness comes over me. My gut knows, but my brain tries to deny it. Derrick says hello, and instantly crumbles. The world freezes. His […]Read Post ›
