Time to Unwind and Connect With Family!
Oak Bay, Victoria
Hello from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada!
We are away for ten days visiting Dave’s family and scouting out our old haunts … bookstores, coffee shops, favourite restaurants.
We lived in Victoria for 12 years before moving to San Diego and have not been back in over three years! It’s a wonderful city and we are […]
Straight-Up Dooce
From time to time, you’ll hear me rave about Heather Armstrong, also know as She Who Rules the Blogosphere.

The last time Dave and I were in South Africa, we bought two gorgeous pillowcases at Woolworths.
As I recall there were Queen-size duvet covers and sheets to match but we didn’t buy them because, for one thing, we have a King-size bed and, for another, we each sleep with our own single duvet.
Yes, long ago, […]
The Lovely Miss Lira
A couple months back, Eish blogged about Lira and I started listening to her on my headphones at work.
Part Sade, part Angelique Kidjo, part all her own silk and smooth, Lira is dark chocolate, red wine and soft velvet to my ears! If you haven’t heard her, visit her website at Miss Lira, which has […]
