Well – 2011 is starting to shape up a little. The trees in Alberta are budding and green, the grass is returning (except where the dog has destroyed it, and the mice have destroyed it, and the snow mold has destroyed it) and I’m set to mow tonight. The skies are blue, the clouds are [...]
Happy Holidays Originally uploaded by ‘Scratch’ As Christmas morning dawns, I’m thankful for the people that we’ve shared the last year with. My family, and close friends – the new friends I’ve made online, and those souls that have made an impact on my family or myself this year. Any moment, a four year old [...]
So – we’ve been subscribers of that beautifully marketed communications giant for a long time. Well over a dozen years. Internet, and phone. Now – to suggest it’s been a rosy relationship would be silly. Why just last christmas, we had an outage of a few days, which required a call for support. During that [...]

I’m gonna be a daddy again soon. So – I haven’t blogged much about it preferring to keep the impending arrival of my second son a little less public than the first. We’re just a few weeks away now, and the world is getting both hectic and surreal. Between bathroom renos, flooded basements, spring/summer cleaning, [...]
This Picture shows what a cheeky boy Ben has become. He is doing so much more than even a couple of weeks ago. Like clapping, climbing stairs(Joy), showing his temper(with pursed lips), dancing (sort of), and even giving (sloppy) kisses. He gets into everything, including the dog water and coconut (a long story), and tries [...]
This little boy has been my world for the last 11 months. Soon, I have to go back to work. Now, I know that for my sanity (and my bank account) I need to go back, but it’s really a hard thing to do. Not just finding childcare and organizing the return, but allowing someone [...]
