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 [...]

Making Progress

As infuriating as bad customer service is, when you do finally find someone who is good at their job, the contrast between the incompetence that passes for normal, and how wonderful this person suddenly seems is astounding.
Two people, in particular, have been little glimpses of joy in the stress and complications that have arisen from [...]

Gotta take it on the otherside

I don’t get sick very often, but when I do, it always hits me when I relax. And it always hits me harder than everyone else I know. Nicole gets sick too, but usually she’s over it in a day, and back to calling me a wimp for the next week while I recuperate.
She’s not [...]

Jon’s new phone number

Effective immediately, I have a new cell phone number:
591-0841
Area code as stated earlier (same as it was when we previously lived in Canada, one number more than our US area code.)

We’re all sick

So here’s my new favourite picture ever, to entertain you while we recuperate, and wait for life to get more interesting again. More in the sidebar and in Flickr…
