Yes, poor start to the season. I almost (repeat, almost) shot a 9 that was over 50. I had to birdie 9 at Conestoga to salvage a 49. The back was not much better resulting in a needed par on the back 9th to break 90. I didn’t do it! This is the first round… Read More »
Tired. Christien, get those teeth in! Thankfully, Christien is going to stay at Grandma’s tonight. So, I am taking Olivia out on a date to play mini-golf and then to Boston Pizza where we will hook up with Mommy. This should be fun. I called her over lunch hour to ask her out on the… Read More »
Spring is in the air. This march break has been the warmest that I can remember since I was 15 and back in school when the break meant something. Since Wonderboy, not much has happened at the homestead except for the wee fact that Christien is accelerating his growth like mad. Since Mexico, that kid… Read More »
I am here at Wonderboy on Sat. morning, the traditional time of rest before the outdoor portion of the events. The results so far have been a little disappointing. Greg and I partnered up for the Darts this year and unfortunately drew a tough set of matches. We lost in a tie-break Around The World… Read More »
We took a trip to the Mayan Riviera last week. Yep, the 4 of us. We travelled to Mexico with a couple of other families, all with very small children. Fortunately we stayed at a ‘family friendly’ resort called ‘Sandos Caracol’. I recommend going there if you have kids 5 and under. Along with the… Read More »
We took Olivia (sorry Christien!) to see Disney Playhouse Live last Saturday. She is a huge Mickey & Minnie fan as well as the Tigger and Pooh show. Fortunately the show featured both of these groups as well as the Little Einsteins (curse them!) and Handy Manny. Olivia absolutely loved the show. She yelled and… Read More »
Evening life has settled in more nicely these days. Just recently I remember basically chasing Christien around as soon as I got home from work right through to bed. Sprinkled in with trying to find time for Olivia and keeping the peace between the two. Over the holidays there was a transition that took place.… Read More »
Olivia gave me a good laugh on Saturday. We were listening to ‘Seaside Rendezvous’ by Queen. The unique thing about this song is that it features a lot of unusual instruments and sounds like kazoos and dampened trumpets. That 30’s sort of sound. During the instrumental ‘jam’ part of the song she said: “I like… Read More »
Our 4 year old Canon Digital camcorder went kaput. It uses the Mini digital tapes….the load mechanism on the camcorder failed and we can no longer load tapes for viewing or recording. Which leads to the problem that I have a bunch of used tapes that I need to somehow get the data off of… Read More »
will be titled ‘The Basement 2 – hello Roach’s favourite room’. Not only am I surrounded by cement and small windows (this fares well when there are unusual events going on in the neighbourhood), but the basement is now finished and has been since June. But now, those loose electronic wires that were laid through… Read More »
