Chasing the Last Light

 Just me, Dixie, and the last glow of the day.


Tonight’s walk‑run with Dixie had a different kind of energy to it. We headed out around the park just as the light was slipping away, that perfect in‑between moment where the sky hasn’t given up completely but the streetlights are already starting to glow. It’s a great hour for time‑lapse—enough movement, enough contrast, and just enough traffic rolling by to make the frame feel alive. I grabbed a short clip, but honestly, I think the university area would’ve been an even better backdrop with all the vehicles streaming past. Still, the timing was right, and the atmosphere had that quiet, moody feel I love.

Dixie did great out there. She had her little bursts of excitement, then settled into a steady rhythm beside me. There’s something grounding about those outings—just me, the dog, and the cold air settling in around us. Even in the dark, it felt good to move, to stretch the legs, to shake off the day.

Back home, the evening kept its cozy momentum. Kim’s off for a bit, so she made fish and rice for supper, and it hit the spot. Simple, warm, and shared—those meals always feel like a small reset. And because I’m a big guy and it takes a bit more to fill me up, I’ve got a frozen pizza in the oven now to top things off. No complaints; it’s just part of the rhythm.

All in all, a good outing, a good meal, and a good night. The kind of everyday moment that’s easy to overlook but worth remembering.



The Hidden Hunter’s Moon 


πŸŒ• 

There is a certain magic to a full moon, even when it’s playing hide-and-seek. Tonight, I was all set to capture some stunning footage of that glowing orb in the sky, but nature had other plans—a thick, rolling fog moved in and completely veiled the view.

 It’s funny how the "Lunar Effect" works; even without seeing it, you can feel that restless energy in the air. As the saying goes, things just seem to get a little bit crazier on full moons, and maybe the fog just adds to the mystery. 

Whether Kim is feeling the lunar pull or the world is just leaning into the chaos, there’s no denying that tonight feels like the start of a story that’s still being written behind the clouds.



In my confusion πŸ˜• i posted it was January 3 and it's actually January 2 today.... work to hard on the blog now to edit that so it's is what it is. Thought I was a day ahead of myself.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
