The Internet’s leading authority on radicalized geese
Two-and-a-half year olds are hilarious. That’s how old my nephew is and he is a ball of energy and says the most hilarious things ((Of course, these things are more hilarious when you here them in his adorable little two-and-a-half year old voice!)). There are some things that he says a lot, such as “Be […] →Read more
Picture it – it’s Christmas Eve and everyone is hanging their stockings. Everyone, that is, except my two and a half year old nephew. He was having none of it. He would hold his stocking, he would walk over to where the stocking holders were and then he would either run away from it or […] →Read more
Speaking of best laid plans, our Christmas plans got a little bit turned around this year. We were originally going to do a Christmas turkey dinner at my brother-in-common-law’s cousin’s place last Sunday and then have a light but fancy dinner today, but then, because the whole Greater Toronto Area iced over, we couldn’t go […] →Read more
So last night I wrote two scheduled posts for today and was just starting on the postings that I had planned for yesterday when my blog decided it wanted to take Christmas Eve off. Perhaps it was wrapping presents or drinking egg nog, but whatever it was doing, it was not working for me. Happily, […] →Read more

I’m scheduling my posts for today so I can enjoy the day without worrying about responsibilities. Right about now, we are opening a big pile of presents under the Christmas tree. But the best present of all is being with my family! Merry Christmas everyone! Image Credit: Posted by Jen Donely on Flickr. →Read more

So I checked the standings just now and apparently my strategy of abject neglect has not been very effective: Overall Group Rank Overall Rank chg* Contestant […] →Read more
As previously mentioned, my favourite Christmas tradition is Baking Day. But another tradition we had when we were little was getting a new nightgown or PJs for Christmas Eve. I was reminded of this today as my sister and brother-in-common-law braved the icy streets and the even more treacherous mall-two-days-before-Christmas to acquire new PJs for […] →Read more
You’ve probably already seen this, but that last posting about stand up paddleboarding totally reminded me of this video ((Which Alicia first introduced to me when we were talking about going stand up paddleboarding for her birthday.)). If you’ve already seen it (which I’m sure is pretty much everyone), feel free to move along. If […] →Read more
So this posting is very, very overdue. Way back in the days of yore – i.e., September – a bunch of us went stand up paddleboarding for Alicia’s birthday ((You might remember Alicia from such adventures as the Fall Classic Half Marathon 2013, the Edge-to-Edge Half Marathon 2013, Victoria half marathon 2010, Scotiabank half marathon […] →Read more
