Lost & Found in Philadelphia

Lost and Found

The Best Movies Of 2017 That Won’t Get Nominated

Feb 25, 2018, Editor’s Note: So it turns out 7 of my top 17 ended up with an Oscar nod or two.  In response, I will amend my post title to “The Best Movies of 2017 That May or May Not Get Nominated”.   Also, I have now seen all of the best picture nominees, […]Read Post ›

The Passengers Of 2017

As we near the end of the year, on quick reflection, it would be fair to say “see you never 2017”.  I’ve heard people promise a quiet, happier, better 2018.  Personally, the last 4 months have been weighed with cancer, and the death of my step dad, and my grandmother.   It’s been more lonely […]Read Post ›

The Life (and Death) of My Step Dad Al

Today would have been Al’s 65th birthday.    A few days ago, I was gearing up to sing one of our slightly on key yet always charming birthday renditions to him, and now… now I don’t even know what to do. My step dad Al had brain cancer.  And he died five days ago.   […]Read Post ›

The Magic of Slowing Down to Run A Half Marathon

It was a dark and stormy morning.  As the wind blows, the rain pours, the evil witch cackles… Dark and stormy?!  No way!  We’re at Disney World!  It’s fireworks, energy, music, and Mickey.    We’ve been up since 3am.  There really isn’t much that I would get up for at 3am.   After months of training, […]Read Post ›

The Unexpected Culture Shock of an NFL Game

This is my life’s motto: If it’s legal, safe, doesn’t hurt anyone, and I’m available, I’m game.   I’ve found some of my favorite adventures in life by simply leaning in and saying yes.  After moving to Philly 21 months ago, this really has become a way of life for us.  So when an offer […]Read Post ›

A Call to End Gun Violence

Monday morning.  6:41am.   Please, just let me fall back asleep.  I toss around, eventually landing on my right side, as Derrick wakes up and begins getting ready for work.  After 10 minutes of lying there, I decide to get up for the day.   I walk the 63 steps to the bathroom, grasping to […]Read Post ›

Lots of Love, Grandma

Friday.  We got the call that my dear Grandma Fife was being moved into Palliative Care from her home at the retirement home.  Okay, more serious than before, but thankfully we were already back in Canada, and I was planning to spend the following five days to have time for just Mike and Grandma. Friday night, […]Read Post ›

There’s Still Luck Left In Atlantic City

Oh, you won’t like it.  There’s not much to do. It’s dirty, and kind of scary.   …Well… have fun! It was a dark and stormy night (literally), and Derrick and I were off for a weekend to Atlantic City.    Our friend Brandon decided AC would be his birthday destination, and for us, it […]Read Post ›

Love, Heart, Hope: The Marching Continues

Due to being in the right place at the wrong time, Derrick and I aren’t able to make any Pride events this year in North America… other than DC.   So a few months back, we penciled DC in.  When we heard about the Equality March, my entire body knew we needed to pen DC Pride […]Read Post ›

Why I Love Cruising

Somewhere over the last eight years, Derrick and I have become “Cruisers” (as in ship cruising people 🙂 ).  10 cruises ago, I never considered the idea of cruising, and now I can’t image vacationing any other way.  It’s a comfort, and an excitement.  Even before we get off our current sailing, we tend to […]Read Post ›
