It’s such a hard decision, but our experience is that you will know when it is time. Trust yourself to know what is best. ❤️

Just takes 25 or 30 years of practice, IME. Maybe they’ll get there eventually.

Our very second ever quince harvest.
A green plastic grocery store bin filled with about 60 quince, perhaps a week short of being at peak ripeness.

Really love the years when the literature Nobel is announced and everyone is happy about it. My Folio copy of “If Not, Winter” is one of my most prized possessions. I pick it up and try to just bathe in the strangeness a few times a year and I think it kind of resets my brain a little.

This is what human beings do, have done forever and ever. It’s maybe the best thing we do.

Will Lee actually died, and his friends had to (got to!) go through their grief about it, help fictional Big Bird go through his grief about it, show real children who had a relationship with Will’s fictional character how to go through it, and make a piece of art about death that holds up.

I've always been at small fire parishes: little paper scraps and shavings in a pie plate or something. It would go out on its own (hopefully after the paschal candle was lit but not always) and a trusty parishioner would make sure it was cool and toss it.

I'm enough of an urbanist to have to clear my throat like this before whining about traffic in Halifax this morning, but also: Thank goodness I've made it through all that and arrived at the only place on earth my laptop works.

Been told I should place “3 or 4” books on the various side tables in our house, artfully, so as to create a pleasing mood in persons who might wish to purchase my house. Constructing the perfect stack for each environment is now my entire personality.

Extremely same here. "How hard would it be to take out this janky second kitchen?" is one of the big questions we keep having to answer.

We're in the market right now and it's been really surprising how many places in our price range seem to have a basement suite of some kind. We do not in any way wish to become landlords but you can see how it might happen kind of accidentally.

Wife and I playing stump the band at reciting children’s books from memory. She’s ahead, but I just ran through Peepo perfectly and that feels like a moral victory.

Presumably the Germans have a word for the feeling you get when your baby discovers that they can reach objects on a surface that used to be too high.

My own biblical literacy is, if I may, quite strong and it's a huge source of joy for me in literature and in life. I got it from unhealthy religious communities in my late teens/early 20s which I do not recommend, and do not think you can replace with 3 weeks in grade 11 English. It's a pickle.

It’s a widespread phenomenon.
A piece of green painter’s tape on the rim of a kitchen sink. It reads”Don’t use this side of the sink - it leaks!”

They fill such a nice seasonal gap as our hummingbirds fledge that I can’t completely write them off. But the last occupants of our house planted nothing but and they’re so monotonous.

I would eat these for sure. Looks from here like just the skin that’s really burnt and I bet the worst of that would peel off if you need it to. Worst case scenario chicken salad sandwich.

The greatest archetype of a Wile E Coyote sketch is where you can know exactly what is going to happen to him from the very first frame, but because the sketch is only 12 seconds long your brain hasn't quite caught up before he hits the canyon floor.

It just landed in my mailbox this morning and I have read about half. It’s astounding? It’s visually incredible, it’s so beautiful and surprising and it’s authentically unique. I would never have seen it but for you and I can’t thank you enough.

Of course people in Northern communities, especially in winter, struggle with vitamin D deficiency. It’s very important to me, therefore, that everyone knows about the Yukon’s public health campaign on that front. The “We all need the D” campaign. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Yukon's Department of Health and Social Services says its vitamin D campaign was meant to target a younger crowd but online reaction 'escalated to ribald humour.'

Calvin also delivered us a new fridge on the afternoon of Christmas Eve when ours suddenly stopped working in the middle of a marathon baking session. The best.

Blockbuster whatever. The good movie place in my hometown was an appliance shop whose proprietor just loved movies and kept a big rental section next to the dryers and stoves. Huge variety, historical selections, and never charged late fees because they didn't have a computer to track them. RIP.

When I moved back to Halifax from school in 2014 a group of kids from my building used to play cricket in the courtyard and it really made the place feel like a community. I’m delighted to see how much it’s grown since, and can’t wait to see a proper pitch in the city.
