Music Monday – “Oh Mr. Mom/Balancing check books, juggling bills/Thought there was nothing to it/Baby, now I know how you feel/Oh Honey, you’re my hero”

Back to work today after two and a half weeks at home with the new baby is pretty tough. I keep telling anyone who’ll listen that I’m really jealous of two guys I know who are both relatively new dads – one is a University professor who (I assume on purpose) timed his sabbatical year […]

Saturday Snap – “May the Fourth Be With You” Nerd Family Edition

A few different shots in honour of perhaps the nerdiest day of the year: I’m not a programmer but via a handy online interface, was able to create my own watchface for my “21st Century Calculator Watch“.  There’s also a web site with lots of other cool watchfaces others with greater skills than my own […]

Saturday Snap – Mom’s Lifetime Membership in SUN (and some thoughts on where she’s influenced me – it might not be where you’d expect!)

We snuck into the SUN AGM & Conference to see my mom receive a Lifetime Membership from the organization (she’d also […]

Princess Kate is here…

…And the non-in utero name of our new baby girl is Sasha Rayden Jay Thompson Hammond (there’s no limit on middle names, is there?). She was born weighing 7lbs, 8 oz. and was 20 inches long. Born at 2:30pm on April 16, 2013, she is currently sleeping peacefully. Checklist… Mom tired but otherwise doing well […]

Saturday Snap – I’ll Miss When Shea’s Not Pregnant…

…I asked her to hold my wine and she agreed. 😉 (Can you see that look of longing in her eyes as she glances at my wine? Actually pretty cruel of us to tempt her this way during a birthday supper for my dad earlier this week!)
