Long weekend blitz
Here’s what we did over May long weekend:
Went camping in the backyard
That’s “the backyard” in quotes, of course, because it’s more like a small lawn-bowling pitch. Unfortunately, we only made it until 2:45 am, due to the extremely noisy suburban prairie winds keeping us awake.

We’re off to Portland, Oregon this evening, to see Kendra’s twin brother Quinton get married to Kendra’s ex-roommate Roni.

They were made, painstakingly, by Kevan Gilbert: you know, from Vancouver, works for a web agency, sometimes makes up songs, is a totally dorky dad and husband. More boring details on the 
Ah, the life you live. I think, at some point, Kendra must have realized that marriage to you meant multiple out-of-season Christmases, haphazard domestic stakeouts, musical adventures and postcolonial cuisine. Then she quietly nodded, pumped a fist, and said, “Indeed.”
Or perhaps all of these things were her idea. Better yet? Perhaps they were MY idea and you have discovered a portal into my tirelessly creative brain.
