  For rating at one star just despite how a lot of political people are using the book as leverage Check out this book on Goodreads: Time to Think: The Inside Story of the Collapse of the Tavistock's Gender Service for Children  https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62814704-time-to-think In misinformation…. Anthropology the book shows a short duration of time. And gets very meta and redundant on the how much time is studied. Compared to the last 200 years studied Let alone the last 2000 year. So give it a rest I don’t think anybody in 2000 years years is going to figure out any difference between a booty call. And a butt dial. Anna is cool- quote  Misinformation visit your brother-in-law whose number one priority is protecting women It’s just weird that the demoncrates don’t care that boys are playing girls sports Going into their locker rooms while they’re undressing as a huge threat to girls Why are demon Demoncrats so against protecting them? Protecting women, I’m obse...

  What started as a quick, ten-minute loop around the block turned into a proper 2.4-kilometer autumn walk today. My mom completely surprised me by keeping the pace going, and we ended up spending a delightful 33 minutes taking in the neighborhood. The trees are in that beautiful, unpredictable transitional phase right now. Some have turned vibrant shades of yellow and orange, while others are holding on to full summer green. That randomness is one of the best parts of the season—nature doing its thing on its own timetable. Dixie joined us for the trip, and all that extra distance definitely did the trick—she's out front thoroughly worn out and relaxed while we unwind. While sitting out front brainstorming how to capture the walk for this post, Mom spotted a few rare late-season dandelions on the lawn and picked them—a quiet little moment before the afternoon's yard work kicked off. Now, the saw battery is charging up so I can tackle cutting down a tree, and the weekly grass cl...

  Welcome back to the blog! I'm balancing a busy day of appointments, but I couldn't resist sharing a quick adventure from this afternoon. I've already tackled one appointment, and I have another one coming up soon. To manage the pre-appointment stress, I took the best co-pilot I know for a walk—there's nothing like fresh air and endorphins to clear your head. The main event, though, was our run to Tim Hortons. When I asked her if she wanted to go for a drive to get potato wedges and a drink, I practically got a round of applause. She thinks she's a shotgun rider at heart, always trying to sneak upfront, which she simply can't do. For this trip, we debuted the full setup to make sure she stayed put: a cozy back seat car seat and her new goggles. (Here is my gorgeous girl looking like a complete icon in her pink goggles). We are working on car ride behavior, and I have to say, it went pretty good today! There was only one incident. We were driving past the neighb...

 A Warm Day, Yellow Leaves, and a Dog in Goggles Some days just land right where you need them, and today was one of those steady, good ones. Kim and I headed out to take photos of turtles, wandering through the coulee while the leaves showed off their full September yellow. It’s that time of year where the whole valley looks dipped in gold, and even a simple walk feels like a little seasonal reset. I’m still in that maintaining‑training groove—runs with Dixie, walks, work shifts, all keeping me moving. The weight’s something I’ll wrangle soon enough, but for now I’m doing good, staying steady, staying active. The dog was in full sniff‑mode, nose down, tail up, checking every patch of shade we passed like she was inspecting her kingdom. And yes—her new eye goggles made their debut. They’re supposed to tint everything into one colour and keep the wind from tearing up her eyes when she sticks her head out the window. Turns out they also stop her from barking at the vehicle ride, whic...

 Crisp Air, Golden Leaves, and Tail Wags We took advantage of a beautiful autumn afternoon on September 20th for a walking adventure with our black lab in Sunridge Park, Lethbridge. We logged 2.45 km over 55 minutes, burning 302 calories with an average heart rate of 109 bpm. The golden foliage made a stunning backdrop, especially along the paved path and near the pond. The map from Google Fit showed a vibrant track in Sunridge Park, highlighting the different speeds we maintained on our pleasant walk.

The leaves at Sunridge Park are just starting to turn, those early splashes of gold and orange that make certain corners look like a little wonderland. Dixie was in her element — tongue out, happy, practically laughing her way down the path. By the time you all got home s...

The streets are quiet, the air is cool, and the path forward is simple: just keep moving. Tonight brought another "Maintaining" status on my watch screen. It’s easy to look at a colored bar on a wearable display and feel like you're stuck in neutral. Since quitting smoking, the old rhythm has felt missing. The peak training statuses and high-productivity runs that used to come naturally seem trapped on the other side of last year's back injury and a heavy season of loss. When you lose an uncle, a grandparent, and a friend all in a single week, the weight doesn't just rest on your mind—it settles deep into your physical body. Lately, my training log looks more like a cycle of recovery and retraining, occasionally landing on a strain or a hold pattern every time I try to push the pace again. But looking at the numbers only tells a fraction of the story. The real metric isn't written in algorithm zones—it's written in momentum. The year before last was a cycl...
