Dear Boundless Families: I am a peacenik by nature. If I were king of the forest, I would have countries solve their global conflicts with laser-guided pillows. But the last 10 days have changed my point of view. Pillows can be vicious. How else to explain that a...

Dear Boundless Families: The kids have settled into the new session, adapting to what has felt like Miami Beach one day, and Iqaluit the next. For the record, today we're in the Arctic, with sunshine bouncing off snow crystals with a purity that will make you weep....

Dear Boundless Families: The deep freeze has broken, to be replaced by oodles of snow, thickly draped over the pines, making them appear weepy and entirely yummy. It's a winter of wonder in this land, like a 600 acre snow cone - just add syrup. I spent an evening...

Dear Boundless Families: The kids returned yesterday from a two-day river journey deep in Quebec Wilderness. They stepped off the bus beaming. Pride was oozing out of their pores. And they were eager for a mattress.  Lyal and Jaden boasted, "No dumps"! I reacted,...

Dear Boundless Families: Just two minutes ago, at 10:32 am, the first rays of the sun for the past three days just shined through my sulky window.  The river has swelled to seven times its volume since I last wrote. It's likely a clue to climate change, but I'm no...
