Like many, or most people public speaking is a bit of a phobia of mine. It’s not one that I can’t get over, but certainly not something I enjoy. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had to get up in front of people but that’s going to change soon. Over the past little bitContinue reading “Public Speaking”

Change of Plans
Today Jen had a rare day off during the week. When we found out about this we decided to take advantage and I made arrangements to be off work today and work another day instead. Our plan was to hike Cape Split for the first time together. Jen has never made the hike before andContinue reading “Change of Plans”
Street Fighter II Turbo
I’ve never been much of a gamer. Nintendo has always been my console for their easy games like Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, and one of my favourites Street Fighter II Turbo. We’ve had a Nintendo Wii for a while and it seems to go in and out of favour with the kids. They’ll playContinue reading “Street Fighter II Turbo”
Chocolates, Oh My!
A few nights back I happened upon a Twitter party going on for the upcoming BlogJam conference that is coming up. I interacted a bit because I’m genuinely excited about attending. At the end I saw a tweet from them saying I had won a prize. I didn’t even realize there were prizes to beContinue reading “Chocolates, Oh My!”
Getting Out and Being Social
This is something I struggle with. Working from home I am always interacting with co-workers and other people, but it is all online. As a family we go and do lots with other families and this is wonderful. Our group of friends are a great group and I always have a lot of fun withContinue reading “Getting Out and Being Social”

Tomorrow is the first day of school for the year for all our kids. This is also the first year they’ve been split up over three different schools as Caile starts at the middle school.

Defiant Squash
This spaghetti squash has been cut back a number of times because it kept trying to get in with the tomatoes. The other day we came out to find it made it’s way back in with them again. This time it started to produce a squash. The main problem is that it’s way up inContinue reading “Defiant Squash”
Public Outdoor Piano
My little town has setup something pretty interesting recently. It’s been setup for at least a couple weeks now but I just noticed it personally just the other night. In the Centre Square area they’ve setup a public piano that anyone regardless of talent can come play at anytime. It’s a pretty cool concept. MaybeContinue reading “Public Outdoor Piano”
Dropping Everything
Not sure what’s happening with me lately, but I seem to have become very clumsy or something in the past couple weeks. Things keep spilling when I touch them make a big mess. It started with me spilling my freshly made large travel mug of coffee all over the counter and floor when I wasContinue reading “Dropping Everything”
