At the Edge

Who’s in charge here anyway?

IMGP1 Originally uploaded by ‘Scratch’. It was a long night – and a short one. I ran home to let the pup-dogs get some people time, while Lin and Ben spent their first night together at the Casa de Grey Nuns. I arrived to a cooing little baby with a few new scratches (fitting huh?) [...]

Holy shit… Now what!

IMGP1536.JPG Originally uploaded by ‘Scratch’. Do these things come with manuals? Instructions? Come on now – our $400.00 TV had a great book, but this dude…. NOTHIN! What a transformation. 10 months ago, we had given up on the chance of having a baby on our own after 3 years of trying. Seems that when [...]

T-Minus….

Too Posh to Push

Today is October 12, 2006, and I am now scheduled for a c-section in a couple of hours. Yes I was up early this morning (4 AM) but It wasn’t due to nervousness. Ben decided it was time to get up, and after 45 minutes of ignoring the kicks and jabs, I gave in. Besides, [...]

Avast! (and Ahoy, Aye, Aye aye and Arrr!)

It’s been a year since I broke the news about it – but again ladies and gentlemen, or should I say “Ladies and Scurvy dogs…” it is the 19th of September, and it is International Talk like a Pirate Day. http://www.talklikeapirate.com tell’s it like it is folks. And for the rest of the day – [...]

Hooray! It’s Friday

It’s friday.  Why that should seem exciting in itself is beyond me – but it is.  I thought though that I’d deliver my very cool but somewhat bi-polar why I Love|Hate Fridays. If you like it – that’s excellent.  If you don’t – that’s excellent too. YAY! It’s the last day of the week! HOLY [...]

Summer? What summer!

Posted by Scratch on August 28, 2006 at 7:10 am

Chris got me thinking, and that’s often a painful thing to do at this time of year.  Where did my summer go?   I feel like I’ve missed it completely.  Too few evenings chasing fish till dusk.  No late night geocache raids, no nights spent behind a friends telescope, or the viewfinder of a camera. Maya-watch [...]

EXTREME!

Posted by Scratch on August 23, 2006 at 6:09 am

IMGP1014.JPG Yeah – it’s “extreme” or so says the sticker on the truck. It’s true – the Pathfinder (AKA FishPimp) is gone. Too much gas. Now in the driveway is the FlyAngler.ca Mobile aka the “Cache Machine”. Yeah – it’s extreme. (Nissan XTrail Extreme package) Garner – I want you to know… It killed me [...]

Subject line HERE… no HERE!

Posted by Scratch on August 22, 2006 at 10:24 pm

It arrived. It took 2 long months of waiting – but it arrived. I was enlightened, and entertained. I was amused, and embarrassed. And even though Annie Serteich made fun of people like me (Bloggers, and nerds) I feel great. Why? My copy of “Subject Line Here” arrived.  The event (with Nickerson at the helm) [...]

Hats off to you my friend…

So it’s seldom that I will blog a viral video.  One of those entertaining and entirely amusing ‘net’ things that by word of mouth beomes near ledgend. This case however… is different. Enter Star Wars – and James Earl Jones, voice of Vader.  But – what if his dialoge was from OTHER movies?  Darth but [...]
