As of today, Colleen and I have been married for ten years. I wish I could come up with something clever to mark the occasion, but honestly, I’m a little overwhelmed* by the milestone. We’ve had a good run so far; sure, there’ve been a few bumps, but we manage to get past them and […]

Then talk about it: “I Was Married” – Tegan and Sara “Turn It On Again” – Genesis “Wind It Up” (live) – Barenaked Ladies “The Well and The Lighthouse” – Arcade Fire “I’m So Tired” – The Beatles “Change Is Hard” – She & Him “Swan Swan H” – REM “Lay It Down Clown” – […]

Andrew and I caught a matinee of Iron Man on Friday afternoon…afterwards, he was telling everyone he met, in breathless excitement, how cool it was, and what his favorite part was. It was cute. Of course, when I threw a mic in front of him to record his excitement; he clammed up. Colleen managed to […]
