Camping at Killbear Provincial Park v. 2010 – Seven days – lotsa adventures – walks with the dog every day – deer aplenty up close and personal – played guitar every day – zero emails – zero voicemails.

Took our pal Sarah and the kiddos to Niagara Falls today. Was super sweet. And super hot. Which made going on the boat ride and getting drenched pretty worthwhile.

Realization

So I read about Four Square and it sounded pretty neat… Then amigo Steve started using it and it looked pretty cool… So I loaded it and have “checked in” at a couple of places over the last few days… The unfortunate and somewhat sad realizations that I’ve been hit with are that a) no one gives a shit where I am and b) there’s no one that I particularly want to inform of my whereabouts… Sigh… Would’ve been great to have ten years ago though…

Significantly challenged this morning for a host of reasons. On the drive into work, however, I was treated to Hot ‘Lanta by the Allman Brothers and a cover of I Fought the Law by Mike Ness of Social Distortion. Perspective regained, some sense of balance restored, on with the day. I love music. And I really dig XM Radio.

Not really I guess but the kiddos and I built a spiffy lil’ refuge and macaroni & cheese-eria today whilst love-of -my-life K was doing a little extra work (boo)…



7 Months in About 100 Words & a Couple of Pictures

So since the start of my most recent bloggin’ hiatus…

Kenzie turned 7… wicked…

Christmas came and went… ’twas good…

The snow (which sucks and I hate) eventually went away… I was happy…

Love-of-my-life Karen and I celebrated our wedding anniversary (#8 – butter statues!!!)

The World Cup happened… everyone here flies flags… this was mine…

The World Cup ended… I was sad…

School ended for the year… “woot” said the kiddos upon successfully completing grade two and senior kindergarten & escaping for the summer…

Which pretty much brings us up to date…

And I’ve just been informed that #8 is actually traditionally bronze or pottery… thanks honey for not making a fuss in front of all those people when I presented you with your statue…



El Blog

So Bora, my amigo and former cube-farm neighbo(u)r (as apposed to half of the Leeward isle) recently wrote a blog post in which he mentioned something we discussed at work…

This prompted me to a) read that post and b) read a few more which in turn further prompted me to a) subscribe to Bora’s blog as it’s downright spiffy and b) revisit writing a few words here again from time to time…

Indeed… the historical record seems to suggest I take a 3-6 month hiatus from posting here every now and then .. and I think the most recent one may be over…  or maybe not – time will tell I suppose… there’s something that I find immensely… I dunno… “aligning” is probably the best word… about dumping my thoughts here regularly that isn’t satisfied by yer facebooks and yer Twitters, the two things that have supplanted this place as a repository for my thoughts…
