Working Towards Many a Goal

September 21, 2011

working-towards-many-a-goal

No, I’m not dead.  I may seem brain-dead much of the time, as evidenced by last week’s Derpmachine games, but I digress.  You’ll not that it’s been a month since I’ve posted: between vacation, back-to-school and now back-to-work, there hasn’t been a lot of time.
So… FAST!
We got tired of being overcharged for our home Bell [...]

On the Importance of Hobbies

August 21, 2010

on-the-importance-of-hobbies

In the last week, my wife’s blog has leapt back to life.  Why?  Because she’s finally done with school.  After an intense (and intensive) year at college, she now has evenings free from the shackles of homework, assignments, exams and study.  She can return to her fibre-related hobbies that she had to put a near [...]

The Week of Bad Timing.

November 6, 2009

the-week-of-bad-timing

Sometimes life just sucks.  Comparatively of course, we first worlders have it far easier than a Darfur war orphan any day of the week, but sometimes you just have to wonder if you’re cursed.
The week started off well enough.  Our various illnesses had cleared up and Mel and I took the kids to get their [...]

the-conundrum

I understand the philosophy behind buying from your local merchants.  It helps foster community growth and to diversify the services available close to home.  However, the sad truth is that some kinds of businesses simply can’t compete with the ease and convenience of buying online, even across national borders.  One of these is the traditional [...]

Time on One Hand

February 24, 2009

time-on-one-hand

Sure, I’ve got some time on my hands.  I’ll be on Warmachine hiatus for three weeks due to scheduling so painting isn’t a huge priority.  If it weren’t for the extreme tiredness I’ve been feeling (SAD is making me, well, sad…) the 1.5 - 2 hours I maybe have free in the evening might be [...]

3 Squared

3-squared

Today is my 9th wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe it’s been that long, or the fact that I am lucky enough to be married to such a wonderful, smart, funny and talented woman such as Melissa. I could drone on and on about the challenges we’ve overcome as a team, our beautiful [...]

Gaming and Kids

June 27, 2008

gaming-and-kids

I am entirely in love with and immensely proud of my kids, but each in their own way have been squaring my circle when it comes to my hobbies.  Liam is on the verge of walking, so his added mobility and attraction to the buttons and cables of the ‘Siddy and Triple makes video gaming [...]

How to Win at Life: Get a Good Spouse

how-to-win-at-life-get-a-good-spouse

Remember when I said that I had thrown off the shackles of the flu that had consigned me to the W.C. for 24 hours? Well, make that an additional 48. Hubris brought me so low the next day that I didn’t even want to get out of bed except to move from bed [...]
