Uhh, maybe while I'm thinking about lifestyle changes to help reduce migraines I should also address my recent return to a more nocturnal lifestyle. Maybe I'm just not used to the longer days of summer and my body needs a couple hours of dark before it starts to feel tired. But how could anyone resist staying up late? There is so much to...
Today I woke up with another headache and slugged through the day until I found myself grasping my head between my hands every ten seconds. Another migraine, brought on this time by who knows what combination of dehydration, lack of sleep, erratic changes in the weather, diet, and the stealthiest of all symptoms... stress. The headache pain has mostly subsided now, but I'm...
The gentleman and I had been planning for sometime to take a drive to the countryside for the express purpose of taking photographs. Now, while I had a daytime drive in mind, last weekend I was surprised when, nearing midnight, the gentleman asked if I wanted to drive out to Elk Island (a dark sky preserve) to take pictures of the stars.

Over the past couple months I've had some of the worst migraines I've ever had to deal with. All through my life I've had horrible headaches, but they were infrequent and would usually last a few hours at the most.

But I really wanted to see it, so Alessandra and I took the train to meet Sarah after work and then all three of us drove south for dinner and a movie. I usually don't get excited to...
So, after all my talk, I finally made good on my claim to buy a bike. I ended up going with the Dahon, both for its compact size and the fact that there was one for sale on kijiji for much much lower than the model I intended to buy. I promised Sarah that now that I own a bike that this blog...
Although I've always considered myself a pedestrian, it took the sour situation of the end of my last relationship to really propel me to explore the streets of Edmonton on foot. Although the majority of my transportation in the city had been on foot, rarely did I set out on walks just for the sake of walking. At least not by myself. I...
On Wednesday night I met up with with miss sarah and our friend Tom for a little bike ride through Belgravia. The bike ride was all part of an evening of fun, but it was also prompted by Sarah's participation in the Let's Go Ride a Bike Summer Games, a contest put on by Dottie & Trisha, the two ladies who write the...
