Traffic Patterns

I never thought the day would come, but it has: The geek blog is outperforming this one.
I had originally assumed that spinning off the new blog would take maybe 15% of the readership away from this one — the folks who weren’t really interested in the latest baby pictures, or ramblings about things that bug [...]

Big Summer Weekend #2

So when events like these come and go, I like to try to capture my feelings, or some recording of the time on the blog, so that when I look back, it’ll remind me of what it was like.
As for Randy’s wedding… I don’t think I’ll have to write much. I doubt I’ll ever forget [...]

So we took our monkeys to see the kids at the zoo

Ben’s favourite New York babysitter came to Canada for her first international trip ever! We saw Toronto Island, the Toronto Zoo, and the GSTA (Greater St. Thomas Area) in all its mediocrity! More pictures in Flickr.

We’re burnt and tired, but at least we’re managing to pull off a few summer activities! Today’s Nicole’s birthday (happy [...]

Take me out to the ball game

I know this isn’t the Blue Jays logo any more, but it was the last time I went to see them play. In fact, this was their logo the last time I watched any MLB at all.
Its not that I hate baseball. Its just that I don’t care. Baseball is no worse than any other [...]

Too much

In retrospect, going to a wedding reception with a toddler and a nursing baby, without having arranged a babysitter in advance, may not have been that great an idea to begin with.

Big Summer Weekend #1

While all our Canadian friends were relaxing and enjoying their day off on Tuesday, I was busy at work. I haven’t switched over to Canadian payroll yet (for benefits, and other reasons) so I’m still on the U.S. holiday schedule. It sucked a little bit to be working (and trying to sleep through the fireworks [...]

Restaurant Idea

They should make a restaurant for adults with young kids.
Maybe you think such a thing already exists, but you’d be wrong. Maybe you’re thinking “Just go to McDonald’s” or “Friendly’s is for kids.” But both of those miss the point.
What we really want — what we would have paid good money for tonite — is [...]

Cars are an expensive pain in the butt!

So here’s some videos that make me smile…
Abi’s first swim

See how daddy rescues his girls from the evil bug?
Ben’s Bell-Bum

Someone stuck one of Abi’s rattles onto the back of Ben’s pants. Cuteness ensued.
Papa’s Lawn Tractor

Do you know how to drive a tractor? Cause Ben sure does…

Don’t Watch the Zohan

I’m not usually an Adam Sandler fan, but occasionally I can be in the mood for his silly-talking low-brow humor. Tonite I thought I’d enjoy a laugh with my old friend, Mark.
Unfortunately, not only is “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan” the worst Adam Sandler movie since “Little Nicky,” it may also be the worst [...]
