From His Eyes

Blog kitt decided around 20:12 on 27 January 2018 to publish this:

There are times when I see myself as Jonathan sees me, and I think that maybe, just maybe, I'm doing okay after all.

This was one of those moments.

Two Classmates Walk Into a Bar

Okay, so, tell me, what are the chances that two classmates from Phoenix, Arizona, both end up living in the capital of another country? Let's be real, not very high.

Yet, here we are.

Jonathan and I went all the way to the west end to meet up with Brad and Lily, the former I hadn't seen in decades, the latter I had never met. Except there's a non-zero chance I had actually crossed paths with Lily, as she loves ultimate as much as I do. We might have played against each other at some game in the OCUA leagues, just please let her never have played for that terrible team that insisted I remove my jersey when I stood on the far sideline, because it "distracted their teammates." (Editor: no, she did not, she played at my level, not at the chump level of that team.)

Meeting up was more than a little bit awkward before we settled into reminiscing mode, and then lunch was just so lovely. I am delighted to meet up with these two, hear their history, learn about their kids, and just catch up. I am so hopeful we can hang out frequently soon.

Soufflé's POV

Blog Posted by kitt at 15:45 on 22 January 2018

Carol came over for dinner today. To my delight, she was okay with my making soufflés! Just not chocolate soufflés (insert a grumpy emoji here, an emoji that my site doesn't support, hence even more grumpy emojis). I am unsure how I can be friends with someone who doesn't like chocolate, but woe I guess I can endure /woe. And kidding, Carol is lovely.

This Kid is So F'ing Canadian

Hayden flopped into the snow. I am grateful I was able to grow as the boys grew up.

The part that surprises me every time is that when I say something absurd, he verifies it.

What Would Happen?

Jonathan asked me, "What do you think would happen if you stopped hiding?"

Eiffel's Looking Up

Blog Yeah, kitt finished writing this at 07:22 on 26 November 2017

We went to the Eiffel Tower today. I wanted to go to the top. Jonathan was willing, though not, I suspect, enthusiastic. I can't say that I was particularly enthusiastic, to be honest. The temperature was cold, the winds made its effects colder. The crowds were... well, crowds, which meant lines. We waited in the tickets line, I played Pokemon Go, Jonathan waited patiently.
