Pace turned six this weekend and I know it’s cliche but man, time has really flown. I haven’t had a chance to update this montage of photos we’ve taken with Pace and a stuffed Oscar the Grouch doll every three months of his first year and then annually since then so it only goes up […]
I’ve been taking at least a photo of Sasha every day since she was born. I’d seen various videos made from daily pics of babies, kids and others over the years but didn’t put a lot of thought into doing this with Sasha until, oh, pretty much the day she was born. While hanging out […]
I, too, used to do this… …until I realised there was a better way. For the love of Dog, people, turn your camera phones sideways!
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 […]
Sam Baker is an amazing songwriter I discovered while attending the Fred Eaglesmith Charity picnic in Alymer, Ontario in 2006. Part of what makes him so amazing is that he really shouldn’t even be here, having survived a bombing that killed three other people while riding on a train in Peru in 1986. That experience […]
I’ve made a few passing references to my semester exchange to England in 1995 on this blog but I don’t know if I’ve ever told the story in a bit greater detail. I will do that someday for sure as that four month period remains (and *please* don’t tell Shea I said this!) ;-), the […]
Lots of nostalgia in the video below… NHL 94 is the obvious classic of the bunch but I probably spent more time playing EA NHL 2000 than any other video game in my life. Nothing spectacular about that particular game – just came at a time when I had lots of free time (no kids!), […]
Shea and I are having a dress rehearsal for the baby’s arrival (it’s not coming but showed a couple signs it might be so five hours after coming to the hospital to get checked over, we sit awaiting test results.). Shea’s resting so I’m surfing around and came across an /r/askreddit question about the funniest […]
At the risk of sounding like an old fogey, I can’t really make out any of the words to this song. So I’ll just put the band name and title of the song as the title of this post instead of relevant lyrical excerpt like I usually do. But since the title of the song […]
I don’t watch wrestling as much as I used to but Wrestlemania Sunday is always a special day. I rarely shell out the sixty bucks for the PPV but have watched when I’m with a group of people or at a bar or something. But this year, through the magic of the Internet, I may […]
