I know. Temperature is relative. 10c is cold, unless you are from Edmonton. San Franciscans put on heavy coats at 5c - while northern travelers are in t-shirts.
I’ll tell you a secret though. -35c (-31f) is a great equalizer.
It’s -35° FUCKINGCOLD.
I know. I’m using bad language, but you know what? At […]

Storms amaze me. A smoking hot day followed by a cold front almost guarantees fireworks. Yesterday was a HOT day. The fireworks were beyond our expectations.
The slow moving (50km/h) storm spewed lightning for almost 2 hours, with thousands of bolts through the clouds and hundreds […]
My short list, or should I say “My ‘chort list”. For the Bloggers amongst you - this will be a living blog post - being edited often over the next months…
As a new (a few years of occasional smoking of cigars and more renewed interest over the last years) fan of Cigars, I’m trying […]

Got away from the house on Sunday for a much needed break. I picked up Jeff and we headed to Calgary to fish the Bow River in town at Fish Creek park.
Not huge fish - but when you get to fish for brown trout, on dry flies, at […]
Day 9: March 15, 2007
While getting coffee this morning I was hard pressed not to notice the police carsw with their fancy LED lights blazing and flashy yellow police tape wrapped (again) around the Karioke bar on 34th ave and 99st in South Edmonton.
A Honda Civic - with a large exhaust tip was the lone […]
Day 8: March 14
No really. I’m living history. Three times a day - my clocks (PC / Phone / BB) Switch themselves around - fighting for control of time itself!
Not since 1916 when the British Government enacted the first of the ‘daylight’ savings routines (80 minutes, 20 minutes each sunday for 4 weeks) […]

Sleep is indeed a figment of someones imagination. It is non-linear, and fluid - leading me to believe that sleep may actually be a cosmic strand… You know… like the “Nexus” that Guinan lived in from the crossover ST:TNG movie with Shatner and Malcom McDowell… OK nevermind…
As a result, […]
We’ve now been through another round of the birth wringer. The metabolic folks, non-stress nurses and sonogram people have provided their input and we have been scheduled for a c-section on the 17th of October.
This is a week early for Ben - since his due date was the 24th - but it’s a necessary thing. […]
