Tweet of the Year
December 24, 2010, 06:58 PM
Home early from work on this fine Christmas Eve… I will spend my afternoon chasing my ankle biters around the house.
Family (135)
January 01, 2010, 01:31 AM
Happy New Years! 2010 will be another great year for our family.
January 01, 2010, 04:38 PM
A little bit of a sleep in this morning (until 8:00AM)… now we’ve got the family all cleaned-up… now to start thinking about lunch!
January 02, 2010, 02:35 AM
Emma just went down… it’s time for us to go to bed. We’re tired.
January 02, 2010, 03:12 PM
The whole family is feeling good today. Sleep does wonders, let me tell you.
January 03, 2010, 03:43 AM
Alicia and I just finished up a good game of Diablo II. Should probably go to bed so we’re ready for lil ms. Emma.
January 03, 2010, 12:31 PM
Emma up from 1:30AM to 2:20AM. Slept the rest of the way.
January 03, 2010, 10:39 PM
About to have dinner with the family… then I’m going to have to run out and clean the driveway with the snowblower.
January 05, 2010, 01:23 AM
Lot of bloody snow in Ontario… I’ve run the snow blower 3x in 24 hours. Kids in bed now. Yay!
January 06, 2010, 12:51 AM
Home after a long day at the office. Supposed to travel to Toronto tomorrow… I think I’m going to cancel. The weather sucks.
January 06, 2010, 02:53 AM
Good fun playing Diablo II with Alicia after the kids went down to sleep.
January 07, 2010, 01:39 AM
Relaxing now that the children are asleep. Alicia’s taking a bath. I’m going to surf a bit with a Gin & 7.
January 08, 2010, 01:36 AM
Good evening. Got the kids down to sleep… relaxing at my computer again. Doing some financial/budget stuff since it was pay day today.
January 09, 2010, 03:39 AM
Alicia and the kids came into the office near the end of the work day… then we went to the mall so Daddy could get a hair cut…
January 09, 2010, 03:39 AM
… a little shopping was done and we had a really nice time as a family at the food court (of all things). Drew had some popcorn chicken…
January 09, 2010, 03:40 AM
… and french fries and Emma had a bottle. They were in good spirits. It was nice.
January 09, 2010, 11:48 PM
Just had dinner… up in the loft trying to keep the kids sane until their bed times.
January 10, 2010, 07:52 PM
Now that the Christmas Tree is out of the loft… I can put my beautiful desk back in its proper position.
January 14, 2010, 12:02 PM
Up with Emma since around 5:00AM. Not bad… Drew will be up shortly. He had a restless night. He’s got a cold.
January 18, 2010, 11:52 AM
Eh. Head colds suck. I haven’t gotten sick twice in a year in… forever? The joy of having children!
January 19, 2010, 01:52 AM
Poor little Emma cried herself to sleep tonight. Bawled for about 30 minutes straight. Inconsolable. Sucks when that happens. Poor thing.
January 24, 2010, 03:28 AM
Whoops. Got a little speeding ticket today. ~50 dollar fine. Out running errands with Alicia and the Kids. Doh.
January 24, 2010, 05:38 PM
Put a new toy storage rack together for the play area in the basement… adjusted Emma’s car seat, walked the dogs, updated some financials.
January 24, 2010, 05:38 PM
… another storage rack to assemble, a new car seat for drew to put together and install in the Rondo… probably other “Dad tasks” too.
January 25, 2010, 01:45 AM
Feeling wiped out this evening. Long day with the kids.
January 31, 2010, 04:29 AM
Alicia and I are 2 quests away from finishing Diablo II. Yes… Diablo II.
February 01, 2010, 03:01 AM
Productive weekend. We have a pretty functional finished basement. Drew loves it down there. Lots of fun for the whole family! Night.
February 02, 2010, 03:05 AM
…now my parents will have their own spare bedroom, their own TV room, their own full bath and even their own desk to work on their laptop.
February 03, 2010, 01:11 AM
Somber day around our household. Our two dogs are back with the breeder we originally got them from. They’ll do better in that environment.
February 12, 2010, 12:26 AM
Chillin’ with my two sicky kids. No strep throat (yet) for Drew. We’re going to stick to the tylenol routine to see if he shakes this fever.
February 15, 2010, 10:32 PM
Since we’ve had the kids, I’ve been sick several times and the last two head colds have taken me a long time to shake.
February 19, 2010, 03:02 AM
Quite a sick family we have here… we’re all still struggling.
February 19, 2010, 11:59 AM
I don’t think there’s a better sound in the world than hearing my wife sing to my baby daughter!
February 20, 2010, 03:45 PM
Updating some financials… dealing with the kids. 3 of the 4 of us are now on antibiotics. I’m the “lucky” one remaining….
February 23, 2010, 01:37 AM
Sitting on couch with my wife. Kids asleep… For now…
February 24, 2010, 02:56 AM
140 dollars for a warm house sounds like a fair trade to me! I wish the builders would’ve recognized the drywall dust issue in the basement.
February 26, 2010, 06:17 PM
A day off? What? Played Daddy daycare this morning when Mommy went to the airport to pick up Amy… drinking some coffee and chatting now.
February 27, 2010, 12:03 AM
Emma’s in bed early tonight (6:30-6:45PM)… we’ll be up with her for sure!
February 27, 2010, 05:15 PM
Yawn. Kids napping. Drinking a cup of coffee and fixing my neighbour’s daughter’s laptop. It’s running Vista. Ew.
March 04, 2010, 01:06 AM
Long day at the office. Looking forward to a few minutes to sit on the couch this evening after the kids are in bed.
March 07, 2010, 07:13 PM
I’m sure everyone has seen projectile vomit at least once. How about projectile diarrhea? I’m in that exclusive club. Babies are awesome.
March 09, 2010, 02:50 AM
Night. My poor daughter’s not feeling good. Taking her back to the doctor tomorrow.
March 14, 2010, 04:27 PM
Doing a long-overdue pull from the digital camera. Lots of new pictures of the kids will be up family.
March 14, 2010, 08:59 PM
We ran out to the mall to get the kids out of the house. Drew got a cookie so he was happy. Emma’s napping.
March 15, 2010, 12:50 AM
Just finished up Alicia’s tax returns (US & Canada). Being married to an American is a whack of red tape, let me tell you.
March 20, 2010, 10:42 PM
Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife Alicia who is 27 years young today!
March 21, 2010, 04:23 PM
Kids & Mommy napping. Just took a few moments to adjust Drew’s car seat in the Fit. Needed to put the straps up. He’s getting big!
March 24, 2010, 10:50 AM
Emma might be small… but that girl is loud.
March 26, 2010, 01:47 PM
Took the day off from work to travel to Pennsylvania. Alicia’s attending a wedding in Pittsburgh tomorrow.
April 03, 2010, 02:51 PM
Family - new pictures of Andrew & Emma posted in their respective galleries. A couple of new videos will be posted today too… standby.

Home safe after spending the weekend in Pennsylvania.
April 17, 2010, 03:52 PM
Family - New pictures up in the kids albums! Some cute ones.
May 01, 2010, 12:51 PM
Yesterday we drove behind a car I’d never heard of before… a Maybach 67S. Alicia google’s it on my berry… $380,000 car. Wow.
May 04, 2010, 10:51 PM
Relaxing with the family after a long day at the office. Drew is a clown!
May 08, 2010, 05:36 PM
Daddy & Drew went out this morning to run errands. Dude errands. We had a great time! Breakfast together at McDonald’s!
May 13, 2010, 12:09 AM
Playing the role of Super Dad this evening while Mom attends a “Pampered Chef” thing something. Just got them in bed. Stay down please kids.
May 21, 2010, 03:05 AM
Holy smokes. Just finished Grey’s Anatomy Season Finale. That was tense.
May 22, 2010, 04:33 PM
An early start to our Saturday… Kids up well before 7am. Already ran some errands. Enjoying a coffee during nap time.
May 24, 2010, 01:22 PM
Emma is now officially mobile enough to be dangerous. Not crawling yet, but she’s close enough that she’s making some wicked face plants…
May 24, 2010, 04:56 PM
Argh. Emma made a half-step from a crawl position this morning. I just know she’s going to crawl while I’m away this week in North Bay.
May 26, 2010, 11:40 PM
In Hotel Room in North Bay feeling badly about missing out on some of the challenges that are going on back home. Be strong family!
May 29, 2010, 12:19 AM
Good to be home in beautiful Fonthill with my family. Glad it’s the weekend too!
May 31, 2010, 12:08 AM
Good day around the Kirk Household… cut the grass, setup the rain barrel, inflated a new fun ‘pool thingie’ for the kids. Drew splashed!
June 01, 2010, 12:25 AM
Kids in bed. Trying to take over a hundred of pictures off the digicam for the website. Check in the morning family!
June 01, 2010, 12:45 AM

June 04, 2010, 12:39 AM
Enjoying a wife-prepared cocktail. Thanks hon!
June 06, 2010, 12:17 AM
We took the kids out to Port Dalhousie today. A beach spot with a historic carousel. I took Drew for a ride. He… hated it. Bawled! Doh!
June 07, 2010, 12:16 AM
Both kids just went down to bed. Looking forward to some R&R with my beautiful wife.
June 12, 2010, 12:12 AM
Another week in the books. I’m “super dad” this weekend with Alicia going out of town. Should be interesting!
June 18, 2010, 12:25 AM
My Wife bought me a 64GB iPad for Father’s Day… she’s a cool chick! Thanks honey!
June 20, 2010, 11:48 AM
An early start! Drew made Daddy a cool T-shirt at Daycare for Father’s Day! Emma got me a princess picture frame for my desk! Coffee…
June 21, 2010, 01:21 AM
Excellent Father’s Day in Fonthill! Spent some quality time with the family, went shopping and even saw a movie with a friend! A-Team = fun!

Long day! Hopefully the kids will both sleep well tonight allowing Mommy and Daddy to get caught up.
June 27, 2010, 11:19 PM
Enjoyed a nice dinner at Liscombe Lodge this evening. Thanks to my parents for doing such a great job babysitting!
June 28, 2010, 05:22 PM
Good trip to Antigonish with the kids to have lunch with Papa. Both kids napped for the entire drive back to Port Bickerton.
June 28, 2010, 11:27 PM
Both the kids are in bed. Might have another piece of my mother’s chocolate cake with lemon filling…
June 30, 2010, 05:56 PM
Through security alright… Although it was a PITA… Drew playing at a kiddie play area… Emma too…
July 01, 2010, 01:31 AM
Both the kids are tucked safely in their beds. Long day. Mommy and Daddy are tired. Mom’s at the grocery store grabbing some essentials.

Good, relaxing Canada Day. Kids are both sleeping soundly, on schedule… Some TV and iPad and off to bed!

Long day outside with the kids. They’re wiped out… so are Mom & Dad!
July 04, 2010, 09:29 PM
Just took the kids out for ice cream. We might have to make this a Sunday afternoon family tradition. Drew likes vanilla. Emma? Chocolate.
July 11, 2010, 06:48 PM
With the kids at “Cheeky Monkeys”. Massive inside play area / jungle gym. Perfect for this crazy hot weather.
July 14, 2010, 12:40 AM
A decent day at the office today. Kids in bed. Folded some laundry. Chill for a bit on the couch before Zzzz…
July 15, 2010, 12:51 AM
My son turned 2 today. Man, Time flies. He’s a pretty cool little dude. Loved his big dump truck. Not to mention the balloons and streamers!
July 20, 2010, 12:20 AM
Thanks to everyone in my family who took the time to send along a Birthday card! I don’t feel 33. I don’t know how old I feel… but not 33.
July 21, 2010, 12:09 AM
Good, albeit busy day at work today… Just got the kids to bed. Some quality time with Alicia before heading off to Zzz…
July 28, 2010, 01:14 AM
Successful trip to Toronto today. Helped my Dad get his new Blackberry running this evening. Winding down now…
July 31, 2010, 12:36 AM
Another week in the books. Going to enjoy the long weekend with my family…
August 02, 2010, 01:06 AM
Drove my sister back to the airport this morning. It was great having her here in Ontario. The kids loved their ‘Aunt Shasha’!
August 06, 2010, 12:52 AM
Family - Tons of new pictures of the kids up in our gallery. Dad, you can check the status of our deck construction in our house gallery.
August 07, 2010, 07:08 PM
Got to spend some out and about 1 on 1 time with both Drew & Emma today while the other napped. It was nice!
August 12, 2010, 01:10 AM
Busy evening with the kids and chores. It’s bloody muggy here! Bleh.
August 16, 2010, 01:26 AM
Great weekend in PA. Kids were good, got to spend some time with them in the pool. Work tomorrow…
August 21, 2010, 10:41 PM
The family and I ran errands this afternoon and had dinner together at Montana’s. The kids were great, the ribs were awesome.
September 04, 2010, 12:22 AM
Long day. The flu is still hanging on a bit… Mostly with a perpetual headache. Kids in bed. Relax then Zzzzz.
September 10, 2010, 12:15 AM
Getting settled in to watch the opening game of the NFL Season. Football is back!
September 11, 2010, 05:18 PM
Out with the kids this morning… we tried a new grocery store for the first time. We feel we’ve been overpaying at Sobeys…

October 11, 2010, 12:22 PM
Up several times last evening with Andrew… He’s too dependent on his binky during the night. It falls out. He wakes up. It’s gotta go…
October 21, 2010, 01:10 PM
Day 2 of 3 day mini-vacation (really a ‘staycation’). About to zip across the border with my wife & mother to do a little shoppin’.
November 11, 2010, 02:43 PM
Alicia went to clinic this morning. She apparently has it too, just not as bad (thankfully). Antibiotics all around!

November 21, 2010, 01:17 AM
Just put the kids to bed. My day of being Super Dad is done for now. It was easy - the kids were awesome.
November 21, 2010, 01:18 AM
We even spent about an hour and a half walking around the mall together. It was crazy busy but the kids enjoyed it.
November 27, 2010, 02:15 AM
Home from PA a day early. Drew came down with Strep Throat and has been struggling since we left on Wednesday. Typical for us!
November 29, 2010, 02:19 AM
The kids slept well this weekend! Great! In other news, I messed up my neck this morning while on the floor playing with Emma. Oh well.
December 01, 2010, 01:31 AM
Productive day at work today. Just put the kids down. Time to relax for a few minutes.

December 04, 2010, 11:45 PM
Took the kids for a run to St. Kitts this afternoon. Ran around Home Depot and then had dinner at Montana’s. The kids were great.
December 05, 2010, 11:46 PM
Hung all of the Christmas Lights today. The house looks good!
December 07, 2010, 11:59 AM
Flying to Nova Scotia today. It’ll be nice to have dinner with my folks! Flying back to Ontario tomorrow.
December 07, 2010, 06:45 PM
Will be boarding shortly. Yay for free Wifi at Pearson for my @iPad.
December 08, 2010, 07:42 PM
At the airport, through security, got a couple solid hours to burn before returning to the family via westjet.
December 12, 2010, 01:54 PM
Good times last evening at our Christmas Party. The house was packed - 18 adults, 12 kids!
December 13, 2010, 03:19 AM
Just finished up a Christmas Present… quite a time commitment this one was!
December 18, 2010, 01:54 PM
Got the kids ready to rock… maybe we’ll venture out for a haircut for Drew. He looks like a shaggy dog.
December 21, 2010, 02:23 AM
Well… Monday’s in the books. It’s easy going until Christmas from here!
December 24, 2010, 06:58 PM
Home early from work on this fine Christmas Eve… I will spend my afternoon chasing my ankle biters around the house.
December 26, 2010, 01:54 PM
A very fun Christmas for our family in Fonthill. Today, we travel to Pennsylvania to see Grandpa Heinle!

Tomorrow is the big day! Apple’s press event… could we see the Apple Tablet? I think we will…
January 29, 2010, 02:40 AM
Yawn. Heading to bed. At some point, I’m going to spend some serious time on my blog talking about Apple’s iPad. I have much to say.
February 13, 2010, 02:28 AM
Watching the Opening Ceremonies for the Olympics… Go CTV!
February 13, 2010, 05:40 PM
Watching last week’s CBC DocZone episode entitled “Google World”. http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/ID=1410992150
February 15, 2010, 10:31 PM
I feel crappy. I never used to be sick more than once per year and when I did get a cold… I kicked its ass in 24-48 hours…..
February 17, 2010, 01:33 AM
Watching Canada vs. Norway on CTV. Go Canada!!
March 14, 2010, 09:02 PM
Switching back to Safari from Chrome. Ever notice how Chrome doesn’t return you to the exact spot when you select ‘back’? Annoying.
March 15, 2010, 01:20 AM
Apple reportedly presold 120000 iPads on the first day of availability Friday. Not bad! I was not among them
May 21, 2010, 12:08 AM
It’s crazy. Google was a search engine company… now you find them on your mobile phone, soon in your GM car/truck and in your living room.
June 19, 2010, 12:35 AM
First post from my iPad on the front porch!
June 20, 2010, 01:01 AM
I’m impressed with the iPad thus far. Now that I’ve figured out how to hold the bloody thing. Adding ‘Dropbox’ certainly adds capability.
June 22, 2010, 01:15 AM
Just bought my first e-book for the iPad. “The Lost Symbol” by Dan Brown. Over 50% cheaper than the paper back. We’ll see how this goes…
July 01, 2010, 06:18 PM
Enjoying a relaxing Canada Day thus far. Just pulling vacation pictures off my camera onto the iMac..
July 05, 2010, 12:29 AM
Playing around with the tweetdeck Twitter app for the iPad. Pretty cool.
July 09, 2010, 12:52 AM
Sitting on the front stoop surfing on the iPad with a drink. This is the life!
July 13, 2010, 01:49 AM
Finally got my Apple Case for my iPad. This will make it much easier to type. It’s well made and fits perfectly. Good buy!
October 16, 2010, 12:17 AM
I’m curious to see what new macs Apple releases next week. With me doing more and more ‘in the cloud’, the local machine means less to me…
October 20, 2010, 05:40 PM
Enjoying the day off. Watching Apple’s “Back to the Mac” event live! (for a change)
November 03, 2010, 12:18 AM
I know Google Sites isn’t exactly the pillar of geekdom, but it’s bloody easy to use, free and integrates with their other services.
December 08, 2010, 07:43 PM
The iPad is the perfect travel companion. Instant on, easy access to wifi and crazy battery life make it perfect for being on the move.

Long day at the office today. Filled with meetings. Had a nice lunch with a few members of my team. Tomorrow I’m off to Toronto for meetings
February 22, 2010, 12:10 PM
Too bad Hockey Canada! It’s only gotten tougher for the players. The expectations have risen, and the delta in talent isn’t what it was…
March 01, 2010, 01:25 AM
Go Canada! Winning when everyone expects you to is harder than winning when few expect you to.
April 23, 2010, 12:11 AM
Watching the NFL Draft on the internet from NFL.com… lame that this isn’t on TSN right now…
June 07, 2010, 12:15 AM
Good, but busy weekend… got lots done. Sold a spare queen box spring and mattress to pay for a twin bed for Drewbie…
July 11, 2010, 09:17 PM
If I was Bob the Builder, I’d fire Lofty, Roley and Dizzy for constantly screwing up. That has to be eating into his bottom line!
October 03, 2010, 12:30 PM
Drew walked into our bedroom, grabbed my iPad, climbed up on the bed, opened it, slid the bar to get into it… and started playing games…
October 22, 2010, 01:10 AM
I hate when you apply for a job online and they won’t accept PDF versions of your resume. The beautiful formatting goes out the window!

Rotating the Antenna to get better reception for the Steeler game out of Erie, PA. Gotta love free HD Football!

Crazy deal on Electronic Arts iPad games in the App Store. 99 cents a piece. Madden 11, Command & Conquer, Monopoly, Yahtzee, etc, etc.

Bought my train ticket for the run to Toronto tomorrow. The time on the train in each direction should give me time to finish a presentation
January 22, 2010, 02:02 AM
This head cold of mine just won’t go away. I don’t sound awesome. Everyone at work was like ‘woah… you sound like crap’.
January 22, 2010, 02:02 AM
… at least my job doesn’t require that I talk all day. That would be terrible! Oh wait…

Another year of March Madness at work. Large projects ending, this year’s budget to close off, next year’s budget to prepare and defend…
March 25, 2010, 12:08 AM
Only 5 working days left in fiscal 2009-2010. Yippee!
April 28, 2010, 01:54 AM
Has anyone else been having issues with twitter lately? It seems like for me it only works 50% of the time I try to hit the bloody site…..
May 11, 2010, 12:26 AM
A crazy busy, but productive day at the office today.
May 15, 2010, 12:30 AM
Another long week at the office. I feel like I need a vacation.
May 21, 2010, 12:06 AM
Google announced a lot of interesting things at its I/O conference? Google TV, Chrome Web Store, Google App Engine for Business, etc…
June 10, 2010, 12:15 AM
Yawn. Tired after two consecutive days in Toronto… really early starts. Back in my office in St. Catharines tomorrow!
July 06, 2010, 01:31 AM
Long first day back to work. Started early - before 6:30am. A new manager of mine started today too. Lots of excitement.
July 13, 2010, 12:55 AM
Back late from a Toronto run today. Used my iPad to give a presentation today. Very green of me not printing out my slides!
July 16, 2010, 12:43 AM
I was in Toronto again today for a meeting. Traffic was horrible due to Lakeshore being closed for the Indy… Watching some TV…
July 27, 2010, 12:32 AM
Nasty bout of flu over the weekend. Felt good enough to go to work today. Tummy still not 100%. Ginger ale is a good idea right now…
August 07, 2010, 01:06 AM
Another week in the books. It’s nice doing one job again. Time to think. Time to do the little things that make a difference.
September 15, 2010, 11:22 AM
Attending a course this week. Didn’t sleep well in the Hotel. I’ve been up working since 5:30AM.
November 16, 2010, 08:35 PM
Feeling stronger each day now. I ventured out and ran an errand or two today. I’ll be going back to work tomorrow, barring a major setback.
December 15, 2010, 01:52 AM
Busy day at the office today. Project meetings and preparations for our January rush. We will hit our SLA! Jedi Knight hand motion

January 12, 2010, 02:02 AM
Finished the driveway again. A lot of snow around these parts of late.
January 14, 2010, 03:30 AM
Time to go to bed. Night all.
January 15, 2010, 01:28 AM
Long day. Drew’s still not feeling great, although it seems he’s not really running a fever any longer. Nose really runny. Raspy. Poor dude.
January 17, 2010, 03:22 AM
Yawn. Time to hit the hay.
January 21, 2010, 03:08 AM
Long day. Up early for the train ride to Toronto… it’s so time for bed. Night.
January 30, 2010, 06:26 PM
Just shuffled some stuff around in the basement. Jeff’s going to come over in a bit and help me move some larger items down there.
January 30, 2010, 06:26 PM
… it will be nice to have it semi-furnished.
February 02, 2010, 03:04 AM
Did a couple of more chores this evening. Put the bed together in the new spare bedroom and reconfigured my jerker desk to sit style.
February 03, 2010, 03:35 AM
Heading to bed. My Father will be flying into the Hamilton Airport tomorrow evening. He’s up for the SuperBowl!
February 06, 2010, 02:30 AM
Paying some bills before bed. It’s not even 10pm on a Friday night and I’m going to bed. I’m lame.
February 22, 2010, 12:10 PM
… the rest of the world has caught up. No margin for error anymore.
March 03, 2010, 01:01 AM
… next year’s roadmap to take from concept to ‘plan’, this year’s performance contracts to close off, next year’s to prepare…
March 03, 2010, 01:01 AM
… and this year I get to do all of this x 2 since I’m running two sections right now. Awesomeeeeee.
March 05, 2010, 01:00 AM
Got my tax return… better than last year!
March 07, 2010, 07:14 PM
I did manage to get our digital files organized today. We went paperless over a year ago when I bought a Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M. So awesome.
March 11, 2010, 12:58 AM
When I read Drew his books at night, I have to lick my finger before turning the pages… Now, when he flips through pages, he does too.
March 13, 2010, 01:15 PM
Saturday morning. I’ve been up since about 5:15AM. Wow 3 hours already in the books! Yawn.
March 17, 2010, 10:57 AM
Yawn! Took me forever to go to sleep last night.
March 28, 2010, 11:54 PM
Back in Fonthill safely. Off to Toronto early tomorrow morning.
April 17, 2010, 12:10 AM
Another week in the books. Had a productive Friday… I have to tackle my lawn tomorrow… have to get the fertilizer on there…
May 12, 2010, 12:01 AM
Just put Drew down to bed. Hoping for a solid hour of vegetation before I follow suit.
May 16, 2010, 01:44 PM
Life Tip: Don’t buy cheap garden hoses. I saved $20 and the aggravation I’m enduring now is easily worth $100. Kink city. Must replace.
May 20, 2010, 01:01 AM
At a Bell conference tomorrow in Toronto. A focus on speech analytics.
May 21, 2010, 12:04 AM
Conference was pretty good today. Just put Drew down to bed for the night.
June 07, 2010, 12:16 AM
… that cleared space in the basement. We re-organized down there… I finally installed bicycle racks and hung our bikes up on the wall.
June 22, 2010, 12:45 AM
Got nailed with a $410 bill at Honda today. That hurt a bit. Maintenance on the Fit. What’s worse is that the brakes also need replaced…
June 22, 2010, 12:46 AM
… Brake pads and rotors… That will be another $350-500. Thank goodness the car is paid for or I’d really be pissed.
June 26, 2010, 04:44 PM
Heading to Sherbrooke for a supply run…
July 07, 2010, 01:30 AM
Another 5am start today. Quite tired. We planted a nice maple tree in our front yard tonight though!
July 09, 2010, 01:29 AM
Lebron goes to the Miami Heat. Interesting. I was hoping to see him go to the Knicks…
July 27, 2010, 02:24 AM
Just updating a few financials before bedtime… chow. Zzzz.
August 17, 2010, 01:04 AM
Our new deck looks awesome! Now we just need a new BBQ, a sectional for the top tier and a patio table and chairs for the bottom tier. Sigh!
August 18, 2010, 12:44 AM
A productive day in Toronto today… but boy did I have an early start. Tired.
August 21, 2010, 01:21 AM
Going to bed at 9:20pm on Friday night. I’m cool. Zzzzzzzzzz.
August 30, 2010, 12:44 AM
Bought a Weber Q 320 grill this weekend. It’s nice to finally have a quality grill!
September 25, 2010, 06:01 PM
Ever drink coffee while eating Chinese food? I did earlier… I must really like coffee.
September 30, 2010, 10:55 AM
Been awake since 5:10AM… going to be a long one today.
October 02, 2010, 03:48 AM
Got to see my longtime friend Erle get married this evening. It was really nice. Way to go duke!
October 02, 2010, 07:35 PM
Arrived safely back in Fonthill. 1200km logged in under 24 hours… Good ole Honda Fit did well.
October 03, 2010, 12:30 PM
… Could I have done that at 2 years old?
October 12, 2010, 12:15 AM
Drew planted his binkies today as binky seeds and watered them with water and binky fairy dust. They grew into toys! No more binkies.
October 12, 2010, 12:16 AM
… now we get to see how he sleeps tonight with no binky. Fingers crossed.
October 16, 2010, 12:19 AM
… and the price point means more.
October 22, 2010, 01:10 AM
Isn’t that why PDFs rock in the first place?!
November 03, 2010, 12:17 AM
Loading our image gallery in an iframe is a little clunky but… effective.

Aggregate and Integrate. Words of the Day.
November 11, 2010, 02:42 PM
Yesterday was a scary day. I’m fortunate that the diagnosis turned out to be pneumonia. As long as I don’t move around much, I’m ok.
November 12, 2010, 03:04 PM
Not feeling awesome today. I think the side effects of the drugs I’m taking for the pneumonia are making me feel ‘off’.
November 22, 2010, 02:11 AM
I went grocery shopping with my 2 toddlers this morning. It went very well. I could tell folks were impressed by my bravery!
December 02, 2010, 12:03 AM
I’ll be flying to Halifax next week for a couple of days! Got my itinerary today!
December 08, 2010, 05:55 PM
Sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for the airport shuttle to arrive at 2:30pm. I can relax a bit now.
December 11, 2010, 12:01 AM
It was a long week, what with the travel to the east coast and all. Hopefully I feel refreshed tomorrow!
December 19, 2010, 02:02 AM
I wonder if cops in boring towns like ours watch “Cops” on FOX and wish they had such excitement…
December 25, 2010, 02:53 AM
We’re as ready as we’re going to be! Off to bed so Santa can make his visit!
December 28, 2010, 01:50 AM
Tweaked my back earlier picking something up… Always something!
December 29, 2010, 02:18 PM
Dropped the little girl off at Daycare… about to get cleaned up and venture out to the grocery store with the boy.
