Some songs will tell the tale way better than my meager words.  From start to finish this song speaks for me.

One Last Car Ride

 ...   I can't buy pickles.  I've tried over and over to buy them and every time I do I just tear up and start t cry.  It would almost be funny if it weren't so damned constant and embarrassing.   Moxie's favourite snack was pickles.  And pizza.  But pickles, all day every day she would get the drool bubbles and make a mess on the floor as she watched the jar being opened.  Not sure why she liked them so much but it was something she enjoyed from pretty much the start of our adventures together.  So.   Now I can't buy pickles, I just miss her too much in those moments, I guess.   Today is one year.  One year without her snorty breaths, velociraptor nails clacking across the floor, her farting to help her get up on the couch.  It was a thing, truly.    The silence was the hardest, especially living in that house, the one I bought so I could have my own dog.  My 170,000$ dog.   Now I o...

…A long time comin…

…It’s been a long time runnin, its been a long time comin…it’s well worth the wait… - Gord Downie, The Hip I’ve stepped away from the blogosphere for awhile, gentle reader.  Your patience is always appreciated and to be fair and honest, I don’t know that my work would have been any good.  Discordant would be my best word association.  Sometimes life just kicks you right in the mind.  And heart.  Repeatedly…  Moxie passing last October was really tough for me.  I had that dog the entirety of living in my home.  She was as much a part of the history there as anyone else.  I bought that house to get a dog, so yeah, I bought a $170,000 dog.  … Worth every god damn penny.  I’d give all that up in a heart beat for just one more day with that goofy old girl.  I miss her dearly, even now…. especially now. An odd thing happened after I said my goodbyes.  She left me…and so did my ability to write or play guitar.  The two thing...

The Brink of Life and living with it

  Life is a crazy ride, I think we can all agree on that fact at some level or another.  For some it’s more plateau than peaks and valleys, for others... it’s the ‘you must be this tall to ride’ roller coaster of ups and downs and screams of delight and terror.  Or both.  At the same time.    This past year and change has taught me a lot about who and what I am as a person; likes, dislikes, who I want in my life and who can be left to drift and that’s ok.  I’ve dealt with a lot of pain of the loss of friends too soon and Cancer, with it’s ever present black claw grabbing mercilessly at any and everyone it can... it’s been overwhelming at moments.    Even now as I write this, I know what I’m doing here.   I’m skirting the big issue that I’m forced to face.  It’s a big issue amidst many big issues but for right now it has encompassed all of my spare moments of thought and energy.      I’m skirting again because I ...
