Not all the lessons we learn in life are profound. Occasionally, there's an obvious premise that we simply ignore or forget and Nature has to find a way to remind us. If we're lucky, we survive and get a good laugh out of it. This is the story of one of those reminders.

The Great American Debate A Tragedy of Errors
Quirkville was a sleepy little village near the centre of political pandemonium as the 2024 election season went into full swing. That was the general consensus amongst the residents of Quirkville, anyways —each of its many occupants going about their daily lives in a similar 'out-of-the-box' way that made Quirkville one unique place to live. This year, they held a series of candidate debates in the American presidential race, hoping to spice up the usual bland political events.

The Funny Side of You
When we think about humor, we often picture stand-up comedians, witty one-liners, or funny friends who always know how to lighten the mood. But what if I told you that humor isn't a one-size-fits-all? Just as we all have different personalities, we also have unique styles of humor that can shape our interactions and relationships. Understanding your humor type can make you more relatable and help you connect better with others. So, which humor type fits you best?

Lost in the Rain: How a Stranger’s Kindness Changed My Day
In the frenzied rush of my Monday morning, the rain had begun to fall harder. I was trudging through the streets of downtown, my spirits as damp as my clothes, clutching my coffee cup as if it were a lifeline. The usual chaos of the city—honking cars, hurried footsteps, and the persistent chatter of people on their phones—seemed amplified by the storm.

Carol and Harry Go to the Cinema
It was a cold and rainy evening in Vancouver – the perfect kind of night for just staying home and nursing a cup of hot chocolate with one’s slippered feet up on a soft, cozy ottoman in front of a crackling fireplace or watching a Hallmark Christmas television show or something. But, even though the weather outside was bordering on frightful, Harry suggested to his partner-in-sublime, Carol, that perhaps they should venture out into this miserable nocturne for a hardy adventure and head to a movie at the cinema. Surprisingly, Carol thought the suggestion to be of honor and heart and thus she agreed. So then – a movie it was to be.

Do My Bidding, Mosquito Army!
I LOVE My Forest. The emerald sky where I live is pierced with shades of blue beyond. Birds sing their lewd songs to each other during the spring and scream at their children during the summer creating a cacophony of sounds that we humans describe as beautiful. Fireflies light up our summer and autumn nights with flickering and fluttering eloquence, and an opossum has been adopted as a nocturnal snuggle/dinner buddy by the colony of rescue cats that I hold responsibility over and has even on occasion let me run my fingers gently over its back side (before saying: "Okay. That's enough, friend" by politely walking away). And the cicadas sing us to sleep every night. It's peaceful, it's quiet, no noisy human interference, and you can see the stars for miles. And come morning, (especially in the cooler months when the morning fog lifts off the ground in opalescent swirls of cloud low to the ground) we are greeted by little families of deer.

Open Letter to My Children
Kids, I know I’m a weirdo. If you think about it, you do too. After all, it was me who hung the creepy doll head on the light pull in the living room when you were little. I’m the one who watched vampire movies and reruns of The Addams Family in between episodes of Facts of Life and Gilmore Girls.
