Practical traction after a hard hit—field notes and tools for rebuilding without performative positivity
A note on boundaries: this is not a legal update in the detailed sense. For obvious reasons, there are things I cannot and will not discuss publicly right now. This is a personal marker. A recap. A place to acknowledge the road so far without stepping into details that belong elsewhere. Dear ledge walkers, I … Continue reading When the Papers Move: A Quiet Recap Before the Next Chapter
Well, hey there, Standing on the Ledge. How are you today? It is a wonderfully warm day, and I will admit it: I am regretting my scheduling choices. I took last night off from my second job and opted to go in today instead. Now I am looking at this weather thinking, my God, I … Continue reading Walking the Ledge Before the Map is Finished
Dear Ledgewalkers, It is hard to believe how much life can change in a few months. It is hard to believe that the thing went boom for me on December 15, 2025. One day there was a contract, a structure, a business rhythm, a set of responsibilities, and a way the world seemed to be … Continue reading Months Later, Still Standing
Hey there, Ledgewalkers. How are you all doing today? It is a fine Wednesday on paper. Work is work. Bills are being paid. Rent is being paid. Mortgage is being paid. The machine, such as it is, is still moving. And yet underneath all that, if I am being honest, life has felt a little … Continue reading When Survival Stops Being a Plan
Hey there, Ledgewalkers. Not entirely sure where this one belongs, but I suppose that is part of the point. Some posts come out polished, mapped, and aimed at a clear destination. Others are just observations from the ground while you are still walking it. This one is one of those. As many of you who … Continue reading The dirtiest cubicles have the most shoes
Hey there, Ledgewalkers. We haven’t forgotten about you. It’s been a busy week on this end, and if I’m being honest, part of that has meant doing a bit of other stuff and trying to relax, unwind, and take it easy for a change. Sometimes that’s the work too. Not every week is about charging … Continue reading One Day at a Time, One Task at a Time
Hey there, Standing on the Ledge. How are we this morning? It is now four minutes after four in the morning, and I am just finishing up work. Today was a royal piss-off of a day. My current boss decided to call my co-worker from Job Site A to complain about my co-worker at Job … Continue reading Stop Playing Telephone at Work
Hey there, Standing on the Ledge, how are we all this morning? I was not sure at first whether this belonged here or over at Unplugged Pagan, but the more I sat with it, the more I realized this is a Standing on the Ledge post. Because this is not just about an airplane. It … Continue reading Make it Fly: The Avro Arrow, The Canadian Dream, and Why it still Matters
Snakes Don’t Have Armpits Good morning, Standing on the Ledge. This is a random test post, because every now and then a little nonsense is not only welcome, it is downright medicinal. The world is heavy enough. Sometimes the most sensible thing you can do is let the brain run loose in mismatched socks and … Continue reading A Pickle by Any Other Name
Hey there, Ledge Walkers. How are y’all doing today? I’m not going to fake sunshine on this one. Today was a blah day. One of those off-kilter, low-grade miserable days where nothing feels sharp, nothing feels bright, and even the parts of life that normally carry you along just feel heavy. I got pushed into … Continue reading Spring Came in Sideways
