discovering Pakak
Amaruq woke up startled. He heard his father setting up the snowmobile outside. Amaruq had probably not slept for a while. As spring approached, folks were ready to go seal-hunting. Despite the fact that his father had given his permission for him to go with them, he wanted to go over and cuddle up to his mother in bed with his younger brother Nauja. However, he knew he had to get up right away.

Don't pour some sugar on me
I must admit, I promised myself I wouldn't watch another one of those "the-food-corporations-are-out-to-get-us" documentaries after I gained 6 kilograms (13,23 pounds) after becoming a vegan for a year. I gave that up because I felt like crap the whole time and decided that a balanced diet including some meat and fish just worked fine for me even though I really feel bad for the animals. My free advice to those that want to try the modern vegan meatless options - check the calories on those “healthy” vegan meat alternatives, green does not equate to lean unless you eat produce only.

How to Pregnancy Test as a Guy
Few among us relish test taking. Exams don't make many warm fuzzies waft into your mind, I imagine. Actively trying to conceive, though, will likely make testing start to factor in at some point. There's ovulation testing, pregnancy testing, tests to test for testing.

You’re in that awkward in-between stage where you’re trying to figure out who you are and what you want in life. But don’t worry, we’ve all been there. And we all survived (and thrived!) So take a deep breath and relax.

24 Days of Elfmas
Since moving to North America from the UK 11 years ago, I have had to learn to grow accustomed to the subtle little differences compared to life back home. I wouldn't say that I have ever had culture shock, but there are certain things that are different for example, fires on the beach to cook s’mores in the summer (illegal in UK (fires, not s’mores I mean)), S’mores, driving on the right side of the road and going around roundabouts backwards, paying to have a bank account, not having to pay to have a TV, etc etc

Live In The Moment
Chapter 1 I wake up to a notification on my I-Phone 20. I’m still holding on to the invitation to my 75th birthday, I must have drifted off to sleep while reading it. I do that a lot nowadays, can’t seem to stay up for more than just a few hours. There are days that I feel trapped in this old body and the young me is screaming to get out. Maybe take the wife to a movie or just a nice walk at the park. Given the chance, I’d take them on a nice vacation and show them all a good time. Nope, this is me now, have to wait for someone else to decide my day. Could be worse I guess, I spent all last week in a hospital bed. My arm is still bruised from all that poking they did.
