Five senses. Twenty-six letters. One perspective.
This is simply a place for me to explore, develop, and share my thoughts, ideas, and perspectives. I do a lot of writing for my day job, but this site allows me to keep my creativity healthy, while not worrying about the perfection I strive for in my professional life. Total freedom to write whatever my little heart desires is fun, and I hope you enjoy it.

I Ate Some Food.
I ended my last post with a tease about one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Since I wrote that line, I've been thinking about how best to describe that meal…
Introductions and First Impressions.
I was recently married in my home, Canada, to a pretty cool Brazilian woman. We met while living in Dublin, Ireland. Shortly after being married, we jumped on a plane to her home town of Santo André, Brazil, to spend some time with her family, and so she could show me around.
