I haven’t watched the series finale yet, but my brother posted on Facebook: “WTF Dexter?” This leads me to think that they’ve done something…odd…with the ending. And before I watch it, I would like to speculate and share it with you. 1. The last season has just been a dream Made popular with Dallas, this […]
Car Tunes
Tara and I have very different musical tastes. They do cross at times(mostly 80’s pop) but for the most part they don’t. In the car we tend to listen to Top 40 or News Radio, and these days it’s mostly news as we’re tired of the “witty” banter on the other stations. I want to […]
Practice Converstions
I pulled into the parking lot of the local Macs store, and I could see inside two youth’s dressed in MegaDeth shirts. I had on my usual polo and long shorts, with sandals. My hair wasn’t styled, so it had a wispy look to it. Not at all MegaDeth like. In fact, if it wasn’t […]
Dexter as dad
I’ve been behind on watching Dexter so I’ve been trying to catch up. Watching yesterday reminded me how different Dexter and I are in terms of fatherhood. Sure, one of us is a fictional character, but other than that we do have our parenting differences. He’s off all day at work, and then doesn’t even […]
Brazil Day 3 and 4
I’ve gotten a little behind as I was writing these at night in the hotel room. Day 3 ended with “happy hour” as it was the best way they could put it. It just meant we went out to snag some drinks and something to eat. As I am in Brazil, I would like to […]
Brazil Day 2
So again today I am glad I didn’t actually rent a car. What the hell was I thinking? I mean, if you brought the average Ottawa driver into the middle of Sao Paulo and let them drive somewhere, it would take about 3 minutes flat before they got into an accident. And it would have […]
Brazil Day 1 (mostly)
The day really started with the trip to the airport. No, the day really started with waking up with my wife and hearing Liam chatter on the monitor. We invited him into bed and he almost stayed for an entire 5 minutes, but wanted to head downstairs to watch Dora(or trail, or diggers, he kept […]
French Dora
A long time ago, or at least it felt that way, there was a rumor going round that when Dora the Explorer was going to be shipped up to Canada, that instead of Spanish she would have to speak French. As it turns out, this wasn’t the case. She’s still speaking Spanish(and wearing shirts that […]
Disney Here We Come!
Our flights are booked, the condo is booked(and deposit paid) and we’re totally geared up for visiting the sunny land of Florida! I’ve been to Disney World twice; once has a kid(9 or 10) and 7 years ago with a group of friends. Not sure which visit was more exciting 🙂 We’re going in April, […]
Big Boy Room
Last night, we upgraded Liam’s room to 2.0:Big Boy. He has a twin mate’s bed(apparently captains beds have additional storage at foot), a proper dresser and we’ve moved out the crib and change table. The transformation isn’t complete(ok, we’ll call it 2.0 beta) as there’s some decoration still needed, but functionally, it’s upgraded. And […]
