Before we left for this vacation I knew one part was going to be rough for me in particular. It’s a very rare occasion where I’m not able to pull out my phone and be connected to everyone and everything. Traveling to the US with a Canadian cell phone makes that very cost prohibitive. LuckilyContinue reading “Going Through Tech Withdrawal”

Healthy on Vacation
Coming on vacation had me a little worried about staying in a good routine. Running would still be relatively easy if I could get myself out of bed. However eating proper had me concerned. So far that hasn’t been a problem. We’ve been packing lunches and coming back to the cottage for supper, so it’sContinue reading “Healthy on Vacation”
Traveling Day
We had quite the day of traveling yesterday. We had the alarm set for 4:30am to make sure we had everything ready to leave the house by 6:00am. Things went pretty smooth except shortly after leaving the house we had to turn around because I forgot the laptop. However, we made it to YarmouthContinue reading “Traveling Day”
Feeling the Vacation Stress
It’s the night before our family vacation and the stress is starting to set in. I’m not entirely sure why. We’ve gone on a number of big vacations with the family and they always turn out fine. This one feels different though. I’m not sure if it is the driving distance, it’s not much furtherContinue reading “Feeling the Vacation Stress”
When You’re Right, You’re Right

Rabbit Stew Anyone?
I’m one of those guys who has a once typical Monday to Friday 9:00 – 5:00 job, so I look forward to the weekends. With four kids we usually keep pretty busy but it’s usually doing something fun with the family which is always nice, but weekends are also the time to get nagging choresContinue reading “Rabbit Stew Anyone?”
Social Running
Running for me has been a solo thing to do since I started. It’s great I don’t have to depend on anyone I can just go. Put in some headphones and run. I can go at what ever pace I want, I don’t have to worry about holding anyone up or slowing myself down toContinue reading “Social Running”
New Pajamas
My youngest, and only boy, was quickly growing out of all his cool pajamas that are good for hot summer nights. So my wife picked him up some boxer type shorts and tank top style undershirts to use. He was thrilled. The first night after he got ready for bed, we came back downstairs onContinue reading “New Pajamas”
