Amy and I finally did the public deed and had our wedding after several delays and obstacles. Obviously for reasons of budget and COVID, it was a tiny ceremony, but many of our most favourite family and friends were present, and lots of laughter, smiles and kisses ensued. Kimberly was Amy’s Maid of Honour, and […]

1.5 days left
It’s my last day of work before a 4 day weekend, and a day and a half until the missus and I tie the knot. Getting nervous, but keeping busy. We have everything packed in the car now, so things are getting real. We also found Amy’s bathing suit for our weekend at the local […]
4 Days Until the Big Day
It’s Tuesday morning, the week before our twice postponed wedding – I think I’m pretty ok, though I’ve been sleeping more poorly other nights this past week. We’ve received loads of gifts from unexpected sources, from Amy’s TOPS pals, to Aunt Beth, and my sister and mom’s week of bridal shower gifts, one of which […]
Dunn Family Reunion
A rare, non-funeral related Dunn family reunion was held in Athens at my dear Aunt Debbie’s place – it was a quiet affair, from my perspective at least, as my section of the reunion was predictably hushed, but it was good to see everyone, including some new faces. Amy wasn’t able to attend as the […]
Rest in Punkiness – 2002-2021
My dear Punky passed away last evening after a quick deterioration. She had gone blind 2 or 3 weeks ago, but was still trucking along, being bad and snuggly. In the past 3 days, despite profound blindness, she actually got herself on the bed and was sleeping on my pillow. But last night she started […]
Postponed (again)
Once again, COVID has struck, and Ontario is under lockdown. We had just set the date for April 24, which is such a perfect date for us, but with the new restrictions and closure of most non-essential businesses, we’re stuck. We’ll see what date we can get.
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 […]
Racing Tonight, woot
Giving my inner redneck some love tonight as Amy took me out on a romantic night at the Peterborough Speedway to watch local heroes turn left for a while. We didn’t stay all night, but stayed til at least 9pm and got to see Dan McHattie win the track championship again. Zoom!
The long weekend begins + sushi
I discovered sushi tonight – nothing fancy, just some stuff from Metro as provided by the missus, but it was pretty great. I’ve had it before a couple of times, oddly enough at Chinese food restaurants, but it only recently clicked with my tastebuds, possibly because I just ate it on its own without the […]
Sprite was adopted
It’s less clear when Sprite was adopted – however it had to be well before early-mid 2004 when I left Sidney street, but well after I brought Punky in – she had two litters of kittens with Sprite between her and him becoming sexually mature. Sprite is younger than Punky as well, and was likely […]
