The picture above is pretty much the main reason we have kids – to make them do the jobs we don’t want to do! 🙂 I wish Dyson made “air blade” hand dryers but body-sized. I put money in a parking metre today and it literally took two seconds to register each coin I put […]
Finally got to see a matinee of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” the other day so have now seen all three trilogies comprising nine total films within the main Star Wars universe. Like many kids of the 1980’s, Star Wars was a pretty major part of my childhood. The first “Star Wars” movie (later […]
It’s crazy how people make probably the single biggest financial decision of their lives based on 2-3 viewings of a property and a house inspection that lasts a few hours. I mean, some people might test drive a car more than that! Hell, some people might look at a laptop or other electronic device they’re […]

I’ve made reference in past posts to some of the upgrades and renovations we’ve done at our house over the past 15 years (and when I say “we”, I’m seriously indebted to Shea’s parents and my parents who helped many of these projects happen saving us *thousands* in labour costs if we’d had to hire […]
The deal is done, the papers signed at the lawyer, the only thing left to do to complete the selling of our old home and finalize the transition to our new home is to hand over the keys on Friday (okay, the realtors do that.) Anyhow, beyond the very obvious single answer that “There was […]
No matter how organized you are, there will be things you need to put your hands on that you can’t find. (I have a box that I kept separate that has all my essentials – screwdriver, box cutter, tape measure, packing tape, scissors, jumbo sharpie marker, etc. etc. but when I need some regular Scotch […]
