A VERY big thanks has to go out to lightning_rider for the incredibly awesome Flash baseball hat he sent Jet. Jet loves it and has been wearing it to school.

Only problem is, it actually does fit me too, so I'm tempted to steal it ;)

Thanks again!

Yup, Jet officially started school today, his first day of junior kindergarten. Pretty darn big milestone that I cannot believe is here already ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back from nearly a week long vacation at my aunt's farm. A very nice time was had, despite all the construction going on (they've just put in a pool so finishing touches on that are being done, as well as the house is being resided), Jet and I still managed to sleep in pretty much every day. There was much swimming in the pool, using the ( Read more... )

Well, that was quite the adventure getting home from work yesterday with the other 800,000 people who usually ride the TTC but were shit out of luck ( Read more... )

I took Jet to see his first movie, in a theatre, on Saturday. We chose Curious George because I thought it looked sweet and fairly non-threatening and with Will Farrell voicing the Man in the Yellow Hat, there would probably be enough hijinxs to keep me entertained as well.

My Granddad never really speaks of his war experiences, not that I blame him, and I find it extremely difficult to think of my beloved, gentle grandfather as someone who once was strapped into the tail-gun turret of a Lancaster bomber and ( Read more... )

Phew, rough morning already. Woke up late, annoying cold won't get worse or better, it just maintains itself at annoying, and I'll never cease to be amazed at what small children can have a meltdown over; this morning the french toast just wasn't working for Jet ( Read more... )

Well, the hotness of my hockey pool team is not making up for the fact that they are not scoring (On the ice that is. Being hot, they may be scoring quite frequently OFF the ice, but that's neither here nor there. Unless it's interfering with their play. Hey wait! Sheldon Souray is getting a divorce and he's playing like shit! I think I'm onto ( Read more... )

Well, nothing like a good ol' fashioned meningitis scare to put the fear in you and make you thank modern medicine for what it is ( Read more... )
