Saturday Snap – Surveying the Damage

From earlier today, Pace and my dad check out the #56 highway north of Indian Head which recently collapsed due to the massive amount of rainfall we’ve had this spring and summer.

What Really Makes A Vacation Seem Real…

…is when you can look up the long-range forecast for your destination and get a sense of what the weather might be like for your trip.  One week until we’re in St. John’s – hope the sunny weather forecast holds!

Too Many Tabs Tuesday

“Men, Which Books or Movies Have Most Resonated With Your Inner Thoughts?”  (AskMF) MetaSkim – a new news site that attempts to provide targeted local news (MetaFilter) YouTube now has (some really old and/or unknown and/or direct-to-video type) movies for free Google Execs and other tech experts are attending a summit to discuss the future […]

A Father’s Day Ramble

With my self-imposed “you must post daily” rule for this blog, I admit there are lots of days when I mail it in by posting a few brief lines or a single link to a different web site. But then, there are some days when I feel like I should put a bit more effort […]

Saturday Snap – Pace’s Thoughts On How You Should Treat Your Kids

Pace gives me some advice on how to treat your kids after I tell him I won’t buy him a toy. 😉   Perhaps in 20-30 years I’ll find out if he follows his own advice! Happy Father’s Day!

The Driveway Dream

For a number of Canadian kids growing up in the 1980’s like I did, hockey was life. In the days before Nintendo and the Internet, I would spend hours playing street hockey with my friends.  I would keep scrapbooks with stats of my favourite players.  A lot of my love of reading is probably due […]

Saturday Snap – A Bicycle Built For Three

Our Tentative Newfoundland Itinerary

Shea and I are off to a wedding in Newfoundland a month from now, from June 30 until July 9.  (Er, our holiday is that long – I don’t think the wedding will last ten days.  But it *is* Newfoundland so who knows?) Shea’s never been further east than Montreal and I’ve only beaten her […]

Saturday Snap – University of Regina (As Viewed From the Sask Science Centre)

Shea’s out with a friend tonight so Pace and I got to have a Boy’s Night Out.  He wanted to go clubbing <grin> but instead, we went to see “Born to Be Wild 3D” at the Kramer Imax Theatre in the Sask Science Centre.  I snapped this pic while we were playing in their outdoor […]

Saturday Snap – Happy Fourth Birthday, Pace!

Although I’m not as obsessive as those folks who take a picture-a-day of themselves or their babies, I have tried to take a photo of Pace every few months and now every year.  I didn’t plan it this way initially but now always include an Oscar the Grouch doll we bought him when he was […]
