So, even though I despise these things (see here) I still watched this year’s event. What a hypocrite I am.  Some observations: Ellen DeGeneres is equally as bad/good as Jon Stewart. So we can assume she won’t be hosting next year (Seinfield anyone?). I didn’t see any of the movies up for any Oscar except… Read More »
We’ve been struggling this past month trying to decide where to relocate OG for daycare. Our current arrangements have become a non-option for the time being as that family is preparing to increase its head count. The struggle we are having is whether we want to enroll her in a commercial daycare environment. For the… Read More »
We finally had what could be liberally called a snow storm last night. From where I come from (and from where some people I know now live), it was more like a moderate flurry. Nonetheless, the blowing wind blew most of the snow into our driveway this morning. Leaving it virtually impossible to ram the… Read More »

The location is at the Waterloo Campus which is on University across from the Taco Bell / Pizza Hut Cardiology Centre. It’s in the building where the old… Read More »

Unfortunately I, the champion, was unable to attend due to late arrival home from… Read More »
Olivia is in a transition. Now that she’s over 18 months I guess it’s time for her to start testing her boundaries and exerting her character a bit more. I’ve noticed this in her eating and how she is expressing her desire to not do something. OG used to be an indiscriminate eater. She would… Read More »
OK, this seems to me to be a no-brainer but I’ve got to pose it anyway. An interesting friend of mine named ‘Dave L’ asked the following (I’ll be paraphrasing): Texas Hold’em: If you were psychic and had the ability of either knowing 1 of your opponent’s 2 hole cards or knowing what the river… Read More »
I didn’t want to make this public knowledge but I just had to. Besides, those who know me already suspected. I am a watcher of 90210 now that it has been revived on TV Tropolis. We recently upgraded our digital cable box with a PVR so now we (yes, someone else in the household also… Read More »
I was looking through all my poker accounts over the weekend and found $1000 sitting in my Paradise account. This windfall will be put to good use: going towards a trip somewhere, someday soon (I can’t divulge any details at this time). While logged into Paradise I took a look-see around and discovered that there… Read More »
