Years ago the basement started out as a place where we stored old furniture and had laid down the old shag from upstairs. Think of it as a student’s living room: mismatched junk. No finished walls, exposed sump, etc. etc. One studded load-bearing wall to give semblance to a future finish. Fast forward a couple… Read More »
Christien laughed.
Last week, the household was sick. One does not know what exhaustion is until you experience having a horrible cold….yet not being able to lay down and recover. I must admit I reached some alltime lows last week when in the thick of it. With everyone being sick to some degree it was not possible… Read More »
Last Saturday I spent a VERY rare moment watching a bit of the hockey. There was a big hub-bub in both Montreal and T.O. around the retirement of 2 jersey numbers: 33 and 17 respectively. It’s funny, I was a HUGE fan back in the 80’s and into the early 90’s. Patrick Roy was a… Read More »
I found Dr. Mario on my Mame machine last night. I should start looking for other games some day. I may be surprised what I find. But with the little amount of spare time I have, it’s always Robotron 2084 for me! I’ve got to figure out how the pros complete all 255 screens. I… Read More »
Well, for better or for worse, Olivia now likes Joy Division. Especially the “Laser Song” which is more famously known as “Insight”. It would be amusing to hear her sing some of these songs…..
When asked what very special treat Olivia would like for accumulating 10 potty stickers, she promptly responded that she wanted a ham. So we went out and bought a 5lb, partially cooked, bone-in ham. She learns fast that the best treats of all come from the magical beast known as “The Pig”.
I’ve been playing ‘Yes’ in the car now for about 4 straight months. Partly because I’m so lazy I can’t even update my memory sticks. But mostly because they are just that good they deserve about 1/2 a year of my car driving attention. The collateral damage is that OG also has been listening to… Read More »
I have continued my committment to exposing Olivia to the great music Juggernauts of our time (and just before my time). During her existance she has absorbed the likes of Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin (not a huge fan but I’m working on it), ABBA and more. Currently we are absorbing the power of Yes.… Read More »
Went to see the playoff hungry Bills (6-7) take on the lowly and history destined Dolphins (0-13) with my brother in law Joey. We loaded up the CRV with the Coleman, some propane, beer and jumbo hotdogs. Thermal socks, fleece and winter jackets as the temperature was expected to be a few degrees below freezing,… Read More »
