What? Why? Why would anyone in their right mind travel to Northern Alberta in February? I asked myself the same thing but when I have a place aching in my heart for my babies (who are no longer babies) I have no

Happy Halloween, everyone! From the archives, A Bad Husband Costume for those who missed it the first time around…
I was having my Sunday night telephone conversation with my 17 year old son when I asked what he was going to dress as for Halloween, at school. He told me he was going as a “Bad Husband”. Oh, oh.

Well, hopefully I got a few smiles. The point is, we’re all imperfect. Some of us are just better at it than others.
