Shrapnel

When I was younger, whenever we went on a family holiday (vacation) my Dad would take a picture of us all standing in front of the plane we were about to get on.

These days you don’t go outside to walk to the plane – especially not here in Canada – and the metal stairs attached to the back of a truck are probably a thing of the past in most parts of the world now. Sadly, I am unable to continue the tradition.

That’s OK though, because I believe I inadvertently started a new family tradition with this picture from January.

The airplane selfie!!

Watch out for number two in the series tomorrow. I’ll try and get Flo in the photo this time too.

I purchased the stupid $400 headphones that I’ve mentioned once or twice before.

I already love them. Last night while Flo was out walking the dog I tried listening to a bunch of different types of music (some hip-hop, some classic rock, and some classical) and it all sounded amazing (currently playing: Kleerup’s self-titled album).

When she got home she was in the bedroom doing something, and I was vaguely aware of some noises in the apartment. I hit pause and I could hear Charlie barking. It sounded so much like he was outside in the hallway that I actually got up to go see what was going on, and let him in if he’d somehow been left out there.

Once I’d taken the headphones off and I didn’t have the benefit of noise cancelling I could hear that he wasn’t actually in the hallway at all – he was standing about eight feet from me.
