Rock of Ages

If you’re interested in a fun time, I recommend going to see ‘Rock of Ages’, the new musical playing in Toronto. If you’re an 80’s fan, and in particular the hair bands of the 80s, then you will get a big kick out of this show. I won’t say much around the plot because, well,… Read More »

An NFL game in Buffalo

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 »

Vegas part deux

Way back in May Sonia and I went to Vegas to celebrate the big four-oh for Tara.  About 15 of her best friends went down as well.  I was pretty much the only guy there so I was able to go and do whatever I wanted.  That is, I was able to go and gamble.

Trip to the Jays

We headed down to the Jays game last Saturday afternoon to watch them play against the 2006 AL champs the Detroit Tigers.  Always a fun affair, Jays games are a little more interesting to me this year than in past years.  Not because they are a contender this year (at least before their B.J.

The Jetta Mystery has been Solved

Our VW (very wonky) Jetta has gone through its share of woes lately. But it culminated last Friday in a ride equal to any coaster ride found at Six Flags. Friday was a weather phenom if there ever was one. The day started mild and rainy causing large accumulations of water on the roads due… Read More »

Pure Joy

This photo is possibly the most perfect visualization of what “Pure Joy” is: For more photos of a very cute baby please visit Olivia’s photo album of her trip to the Dominican Republic.

Escape for our 5th anniversary

On Tuesday August 22nd, one month before our milestone 5th anniversary, Sonia and I went on a very special outing. Sonia is a fan of the Food & Beverage magazine that you can pick up for free at any LCBO outlet. It is very good for getting recipe ideas for unique and very tasty dishes.… Read More »

Jesus Christ Superstar

I am a huge fan of Webber and Rice’s Jesus Christ Superstar (way and by far either man’s best work) and have been since I was around 7 yrs old. If you talk to my mom, she can tell you all about the funny things I used to do when ‘the rock music’ was playing… Read More »
