Consequences

Posted on March 27, 2013 by

I suppose the other side of the “no privacy” coin, is the “no show”, which is what happened this morning. After fifteen minutes Becky called the agency to see what was going on, and got an answering machine.  She left … Continue reading →

Today was a holiday here in Canada. It’s still fairly new to us, so I don’t think people plan for it as much as other holidays. We didn’t really have any plans, anyway. I spent this morning helping Becky finish … Continue reading →
