Let’s go back to three months ago, about the last time I wrote a blog post. It was a dark and stormy afternoon. One of those scary sort of storms right out of a movie that seemingly comes out of nowhere. Derrick and I were out exploring the Philadelphia Zoo (America’s first zoo, and also […]Read Post ›
It’s hard to believe that it’s already this time of year again. No, not the end of summer, or back to school. It’s the week when I try to see as many movies as possible within a short tight week. And no, I’m not talking about the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s PIFF! The Philadelphia International […]Read Post ›
It’s been a year today since my Grandma Fife passed away. When I held her hand for the very last time. It’s been years since we were kids, playing at the farm, watching the Price is Right, feeding the barn cats, and being happy just goofing around with the hay bails and a broom. […]Read Post ›
“Happy We’ve Been in Philly 30 Months Today Day!” I sputter out. Derrick looks at me and says “Wow. That’s a lot”. And he’s right: it has been a long time. 30 seems like a bit of a milestone, yet it just seemed to pop out of nowhere. Maybe we stopped counting, got too […]Read Post ›
Walking with my little pug-terrier Primrose, the behavior that frustrates me the most in the moment, is also the behavior that when I step back and look at the bigger picture, I admire and adore the most. If she sees a dog within a 20-50 meter radius, she goes wild. It doesn’t matter the […]Read Post ›
In one of my recent posts, I wrote that one of the best things about living in Philly is being so close to New York City. As a huge theatre fan, I’ve loved being able to hop on a $15 round trip bus ride to see more Broadway than I’d ever dreamed of seeing. […]Read Post ›
It’s 11:17am, it’s sunny (as it always is in Philadelphia 😉 ), and I’ve just finished my Middle-Aged-Women-And-Me-Wednesday-Morning Class at the gym. I’m chatting with some friends about the weather (how Canadian!), when my fitbit vibrates. I look down, and a text message is scrolling across my fitbit: “You won the Spring……” My heart stops, […]Read Post ›
Like many in today’s capitalistic world, I work a lot. And when I’m not working, I’m thinking about work. What’s next on my to do list, who I need to get alignment with, what meetings are coming up, what fires do I need to put out, and what presentation do I have next. With this […]Read Post ›
If Love, Simon came out when I was a teenager, it would have changed my life. I love Love, Simon. Today, this movie still very much inspires me. It’s the first movie where I can truly see myself on the screen. I might even argue that they took my story, and simply modernized it. […]Read Post ›
The Reading Terminal Market was one of the first places we visited when we came to Philly. We heard it was a good place for lunch. We stuck to the outside aisle, finding a cheesesteak, some ice cream, and a box of made before our eyes Amish donuts. I was a little intimidated, […]Read Post ›
