Yesterday we got back from a whirlwind camping trip to Presqu’ile Park – it was quite a fun, short little adventure. We actually got an actual lakeside camping spot, with all the benefits and drawbacks that come from that – the wind noise on the first day/night was absolutely astonishing, it actually kept me up, […]

Late Outbreak
We’ve been hearing about the SARS-CoV2 virus (coronavirus) for months now, but only stories out of China – not until early February did anything really substantial get shared about how much of a toll it had taken on the city of Wuhan – but it went global very quick. Not SARS global, but Disney global. […]
Early Spring?
The various groundhogs have spoken, and I think they’re saying an early spring is on the way. I’m sure they’ll be more accurate than the average weatherpeep. Wedding plans have been progressing – we are more or less completely committed to Shell Madden as officiant after meeting her at Denny’s in Napanee this past Saturday, […]
Adventures in O-Town
This weekend, Amy and I went on a trip to Ottawa to see the Senators take on the Canadiens – it was all sorts of different adventures wrapped into one 36-ish hour period. Drove up in a pretty dismal rain storm in unseasonably warm, spring-like temperatures Visited the National War Museum and attended all of […]
We announced the date
It’s Christmas eve and I barely got any sleep last night – doubt it’s excitement, just random nerves for the next few days. Being away from Brock and the kitties is hard for me. Visiting my sister and family will be good though, and we’ll get to share more goodness. We had Christmas with the […]
It’s almost Christmas, how did that happen?
The year has zoomed by, and we’re about to have a bit of time off for Christmas, with lots of upcoming dinners and weekends and whatnot. Last weekend we went to a little restaurant in Bewdley on a whim that was pretty nifty – good food and reasonable service – the French Canadian server was […]
Remembering our neighbour Linda Duff, 1948 – 2019
Our next door neighbour since we moved in passed away on Remembrance Day of all days. She was too young to go in my experience, but apparently she was sick for a very long time – since before she even moved into this building, long before Amy and I ever showed up. As usual with […]
Kitty overload at the Toe Beans Cafe
Today we went on more epic laundry adventures than normal – we went all the way to Port Hope, with my actual destination being a local curiosity called Toe Beans Cafe where they have a great little “cat room” to socialize with some fuzzy felines. My favourite was most likely a resident Maine Coon named […]
Toronto on the Train
Today we did a semi nostalgic trip, driving to Oshawa to intentionally board the Go Train – we actually haven’t done this since we bought our Hyundai Santa Fe many years ago. This trip was a rare journey to downtown TO with virtually no destination in mind. Probably my favourite part of the trip was […]
Amy’s strength
If it ever comes up again, Amy totally gets tracking, and understands how important it is – she has been so consistent for the past week, it’s inspiring! Even when bad days come she can look at the numbers and accept the changes that are needed. She’s also been working out very consistently, which is […]
