I figure I’ll write about Timmy’s since it’s Canada Day. It seems appropriate. A little while ago, Tim Horton’s came out with…something…called the Creamy Chocolate Chill. Wow, something is wrong with me…I’m blogging about some random food product. But there are two reasons I want to, so bear with me. When I first heard about …

It’s Canada Day. How’d We Get Here?
Soundtrack time. Yup, it’s Canada Day. Where is this year going? I hope people are finding fun things to do somewhere, just enjoying the day off. I’m probably going to be spending some time outside if the weather decides to be good. I’m just glad to be doing what I want to do. Not a …
Great Big Swing-Along?
It’s become a morning routine to have CBC Radio 2 on as I get ready for work. Because of this, we discovered something that Tom Power does every weekday morning around 8:20 ish. He calls it the great big sing-along. Basically, he picks a song that bunches of us know the words to, and says …
Fussy Eater
Fussy Eater Part 1. Fussy Eater Part 2. Been meaning to put this one up for a while not just because it’s a classic, but because I think about it pretty much every day since Carin and I have a tendency to quote the hell out of it in our everyday lives. We never buy …
Are We A Curse?
I was joking nearly nine years ago when I called us the apartment building kiss of death, but my god, it feels like every place we’ve lived in has had a big ol’ fire in it. Sure, the fires happen mostly after we’re gone, but still. We’ll start with the fire in the first building …
Everybody Send Good Thoughts To Ann Adams
I think a lot of our regular readers remember Ann Adams, right? She’s got lots of comments on here, and often, her and Steve talk baseball. She’s been a loyal fan of ours for about 10 years or so. Holy crap that’s a long time. I thought I might meet her when I went to …

I’m An Aunt!
I don’t know why I didn’t write about this last week when it happened, but better late than never. Last Friday, Friday the 13th, I became an aunt. Yup, my brother and his wife are now the proud parents of an adorable little boy. I don’t have his picture, although it’s up on Facebook, I …
So…I’ve Spoken At A Funeral
My grandma’s funeral was last Thursday, and as of about 2:30 that afternoon I can no longer say I’ve never spoken at one. What a strange feeling it was. Not the speaking itself, aside from the setting I’m used to that. The strange part was the feeling I had when it was over. I didn’t …
2014: Goodbye And Good Riddance
It’s mid January, and I feel like I have to write the usual holiday wrap-up/year in review post. I feel like this will be the shortest one ever because both the holidays, and the year, feel like they have been snatched and tainted. Getting to my family’s Christmas was coloured with a bit of Carin-style …
Merry Christmas And All That Stuff
Since I’m’ posting this today, this song makes a good soundtrack. Yeah, it’s December 23 and I don’t know where the time has gone. Somehow, despite my battles with the captain, I still managed to get my Christmas shopping done, although it was a little closer to the wire than I would have liked…and the …
