  • PNE Purchases

    Having a dog living in the house with us during the Vancouver rainy season in Vancouver makes me appreciate all that much more the purchase I made at last summer’s PNE; the Sham Wow. Every time I return from taking little Pikku out for a walk in the rain I grab the Shaw Wow and…

  • Sharing and Caring and Paying It Forward; NaBloPoMo 25

    Most people have changed the hairdresser or barber they see. I have. Yes, I know, I know, my hair is uber-short. Well, shaved right off. However, I have a tidy little beard and I use that as an excuse to visit the barber. I love the barber shop for the testosterone filled environment. Barber shops…

  • The Most Dangerous Driver on the Canadian Roads; NaBloPoMo 24

    After significant rigorous scientific analysis of mounds of data, we have a reached a conclusion as to which demographic group is the most dangerous group of automobile drivers.

  • Heart and Stroke Foundation Television Ads; Too Edgy? NaBloPoMo Day 19

  • The End of the Afternoon Nap NaBloPoMo Day 17

    The age of the afternoon nap appears to have ended in our home. Getting our toddlers to nap was relatively easy but, goodness gracious, after the girls had slept in the afternoon, bed time was pure hell on wheels with screaming and fits. So last Sunday we thought we would try to go without the…

  • My First SFU Senate Meeting; Day 13 NaBloPoMo

    Last week I attended my first SFU Senate meeting as an elected senator. It was very inspiring to attend this event where the over-arching concern of the people in the meeting is the good of the university. An aspect of the meeting that I particularly enjoyed or rather, appreciated was that the reading package (approximately…

  • Remembrance Day 2011; Remembering Michelle Lang

    Today I stand in remembrance of my dear friend Michelle Lang and all the other men and women have fought and died for our freedoms. Michelle died in the combat zone of Afghanistan while on assignment with her newspaper. I will never forget her.

  • The Walking Dead and Toilet Paper; Day 11 NaBloPoMo

    While watching television there is a little thing called “the suspension of disbelief.” That means you just pretend that the things that are unbelievable are actually believable or you just let it slip over you.  However, in spite of that, I cannot help but wonder about some of the more mundane “life” things. For example,…
