If you have to doff multiple kilograms of gear before you can even start taking off your clothes at the end of the day, then you will sympathize with this soldier. Gone to years worth of war, he’s returned to his Wife who, not unlike my own would do, has wrapped herself around him in […]

Plenty o’ Fish

| September 1, 2014

On one sunny Summer’s day about ten years ago, the bountifully beauteous Mrs. LFM and I were shopping in the Halifax area when we decided a cup of coffee was in order. And so it came to pass that we pulled up in front of a coffee shop in the Bayer’s Lake district, facing the […]

Canada Day 2014

| July 1, 2014

Today is Canada Day here in the Great White North, and as such offers me yet another opportunity to educate the world in the history of the nation. I’m even more inspired to invoke the Truth because this year marks Mrs. LFM’s induction as a Canadian citizen, and my exposure to the government supplied knowledge […]

Growing Your Own

| June 23, 2014
