Offline on the Edge of the Bay
Dec. 24th, 2025 05:57 pmAt the in‑laws’ place, the outside world barely exists—one flickering bar of service, if I’m lucky. The Bay of Fundy stretches out in front of us, grey and endless, the tide doing its slow, ancient breathing.
Inside, the little one is on high alert, glued to the window, waiting for a certain jolly, oversized visitor to make his grand entrance. Every creak is a possibility. Every gust of wind is a sign.
Disconnected, quiet, and oddly perfect.

Victory, Somehow
Dec. 24th, 2025 07:12 pmAgainst all logic—and an alarming amount of gingerbread‑house candy—we actually got our little one to sleep tonight. Even the excitement buzzing off her about tomorrow couldn’t keep her up forever. The house is finally quiet, the tree is glowing, and our sugar‑fueled elf is out cold. A small Christmas miracle.
