As I eluded to in the previous post, my wife and I went to the spa at Moose Jaw this past weekend for a getaway in celebration of our first anniversary. If you have never been to Moose Jaw or, like me, you haven’t been there in a long time, don’t be put off by [...]

This weekend my wife Lindsay and I went to the spa in Moose Jaw for a getaway to celebrate our recently achieved first wedding anniversary. Just prior to departing for Saskatoon on Sunday, I pulled into a 7-11 for snacks and gas. I cursed a little at the price of gas – 119.9 cents/litre where [...]

Yeah it was on digg and it even appeared in the New York Post but I even saw something about it on the news up here in Canada. Ken Jennings, the super-ultra-mega biggest winner of Jeopardy! that there ever was and ever will be, the alpha and omega of gameshow winners, has apparently presented a [...]

Today was my first wedding anniversary. Talk about an exciting day. I celebrated by waking up sick as a dog. More on that later. Yes, one year ago today I married my dream girl / soulmate Lindsay. I have heard people say that the first year of a marriage is the hardest. I hope that [...]

Last night was movie night! My wife and I went to see Clerks II with a friend of mine from work and then just the two of us stayed on to watch Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest. Both movies were great, although I must confess I enjoyed Clerks II a good deal more. [...]

Some people are never happy. There is a story on canada.com from the National Post entitled Boat trip to Cyprus ‘horrible’. Okay, fine. So the trip wasn’t a luxury cruise. You know what? You aren’t being blown up anymore. Jesus! What do these people expect? Do they think that the Canadian Government has specially outfitted [...]

This morning I need to get gas for my car. This activity, which is normally depressing and soul-sucking, turned out as the highlight of the weekend which is about to begin. I usually throw $30 in the tank and it lasts me around a week, giving me half a tank. I pulled into the PetroCan, [...]

This Friday, Clerks II opens in theatres. I feel like a kid who has just been told we’re going to the candy store. The original Clerks is one of my all-time favourite movies. It is one of the movies that made me think that I could actually make movies some day – and I still [...]

Well, I’ve done it. I got an iPod. I have wanted an mp3 player for some time now but haven’t been able to justify the expense – especially for a real iPod. Why pay so much money just to be trendy? Anyway, my wife gets these points at work and we were able to redeem [...]

So the Oilers didn’t manage to win the Stanley Cup in game 7 tonight. Disappointing, yes. Devastating? Not so much. I am not typically a big hockey fan and neither is my wife. Nevertheless, we both got into these playoffs starting with the Edmonton-Anaheim series. I cannot remember the last time that I enjoyed non-Olympic [...]
