Out Like a Lion

Posted on March 25, 2017 by If It Was Today

Water

Posted on February 26, 2017 by If It Was Today

A Walk In The Park

Posted on February 17, 2015 by If It Was Today

Today may have involved a walk in the park, in the literal sense, but yesterday’s flight was neither a literal nor a metaphorical walk in the park. A simple 90 minute direct flight from Ottawa to Washington turned into a … Continue reading →

Sand and Snow

Posted on January 25, 2015 by If It Was Today
