A different New Year’s event

Traditionally we’ve gone to house parties on New Year’s Eve sans enfants. This year we changed gears and decided to go to the city event at town square. It was an outdoor skating party and performers for the kids. It went from 6-9 pm with a new year’s countdown at 9. The kids loved it… Read More »

Crushed in the semis

So, it really was the worst case scenario. I was crushed 91-29 and it was evidently over even before the 1st half of the 1st games. He had a WR that alone scored 24 pts. 91 is a good score, but beatable. I lost via the perfect storm. My DST was up against the lowly,… Read More »

1st round success

Well, hard work and some luck pay off. With my two best RBs out for Sunday, I managed to pull off a win in big fashion: 89.3 – 64.3. Against the same team that put me out in the 1st round back in ’07 when I was sailing to what I was hoping would be… Read More »

1st rd of the playoffs

It’s like being in the trenches…all is quiet as we wait for the blitzkrieg tomorrow at 1pm. I don’t think I have a chance with my big boys down for the season. But stranger things have happened and I’ve been on both sides of that situation.

De-stressing the morning routine

With Christien now liking to go to pre-school (it only took 1 1/2 months!) it takes the edge off of the mornings. It doesn’t feel like a death march. Now if we could only stop the sibling fights, the constant distractions and the general butt-dragging that goes on trying to get the kids out the… Read More »

3100 nativity scenes on the wall…..

I went up to Walkerton with the kids to visit my Mom on Saturday. Out of bizarre curiousity, we decided to go to the Mormon church to see this supposedly famous display of 3100+ nativity scenes that are donated by peoples from around the world (although most are from within 200kms of the area). The… Read More »

New hosting site

The old hosting site I was using decided to shut it down leaving me 1 month to move over. Thanks to some good tips from Alex, I cut over to a new hosting site last Monday and it has gone as well as hoped. So I’m alive on a different planet and ready to go.… Read More »

Help me set up a Fantasy Football talk show

Seriously, I wonder how much fun it would be? I’d love to give it a try. Do you think it’s expensive to buy time on the Rogers community channel or should I go the Youtube way and see if I get hits? I need a catchphrase like “That’s Roach’s of the week!” for my lockin… Read More »

Golf vacation coming up

Got a golf vacation planned again this time of year in Wiarton. Naturally the weather last weekend for Thanksgiving was 25-26 celcius. This weekend? Not so good. Anyway, we’re staying at Pat’s cottage so it’ll be fun regardless.

Baseball history

I haven’t blogged about baseball in a long time but last night was too exceptional to not take not of: Baseball craziness The craziest points to take out of this is the unbelievable combination of TB’s amazing comeback with 1 strike left in the game, and Boston’s dumbfounding blowup with 1 strike left in their… Read More »
