Are we still fighting?
I wish Mother’s Day was during the week and not on a Sunday. It would really work for us, because we seem to fight more on the weekends than during the week when everyone is busy.
As my friend Sarah said in her #ippp post for this week: “This is my life. The potential for greatness or disaster.” Truer words have never been spoken, my friends - and this Mother’s Day we walked the fine line between greatness and disaster.
With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.
Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.
Is he like the coolest astronaut ever or what?!?

Family Fun Day Sunday
Not enough play and too much work makes for a cranky family - so we decided it’s time to introduce Family Fun Day Sunday.
We did two so far - nobody cried and nobody puked - and that counts as a win in my book.
Mix a grumpy, back-and-knee-pain-ridden father, a stressed-out-worry-about-everything mother, a teenage daughter and a genius-yet-super-sensitive pre-teen in the mix and there are usually tears and vomit involved - but not this time, people! We are making this count!
Our first outing went to Harmon Lake and along Kane Valley Road - here are some pics:

It’s a real book!
A couple of weeks ago my third book was published. It’s the second one I wrote for the German publisher Iwanowski and it’s called “101 Kanada Westen - Geheimtipps und Top Ziele”. It is a travel guide, but not a traditional one describing routes and “hard facts” - it highlights extraordinary experiences and the stories behind them.
Anyway - it was a lot of work to write it, but I loved every minute of it. Needless to say I’m pretty stoked about it and I carry one of my author’s copies around with me at all times…
And sometimes, when I show people, they say: “Wow, that is a *real* book”. You know, like they were expecting something home-made. Like when I tell them that I wrote a book, they think I sat down and started drawing something…
