Baby, ain’t nothin’ too small I wouldn’t do for you… I got up for you. I stirred the oatmeal for you. I changed the toilet paper roll for you. I took out your guitar for you. I learned a new chord and sang a song for you. I watched Veronica Mars with you. I sautéed… [Continue Reading]

Not what I asked for (but actually, better)
I went to The Pause again today. I needed something, though I wasn’t sure what. Before finding a table, I stopped at the bar to order a shot of patience.

Have you been to The Pause?
The Pause, my favorite new spot. It’s on the corner of Now and Notice, where that old dive, Reaction, used to be. Open every day, all day. All moods are welcome. Check out the bartender. Hottie!

Tight jaw? TMJ? Put a cork in it!
Did you know that your jaw is the most frequently used joint in your body? No kidding. Most people move their jaw (thermomandibular joint) 2,000 to 3,000 times a day. Like most things, when all is well and at ease we don’t even think about our jaws. But when things get tight? Or when we… [Continue Reading]
Welcome to Heidi’s Table!
Several years ago, on a still-long but already winding-down day of summer vacation, I stood in the Ottawa River with my pant legs rolled up as far as they’d go. Flat rocks and the low water level had allowed me to wade in quite far —far enough to leave the known banks for a taste… [Continue Reading]
