Bobby’s home

Yippers. My middle child Bobby has arrived home from university for the summer. If I hadn’t seen him with my own eyes and given him big hugs, I would know anyway. Why - you ask? Because he has dumped all his belongings everywhere in this house. And I mean everywhere. The laundry room is piled […]

A welcome respite from hockey!

Tonight I went to watch my daughter Jenny’s volleyball game. I really enjoy watching volleyball. It’s a graceful, yet powerful sport, and a welcome respite from sitting in a cold rink watching her play hockey. In this picture, Jenny is the girl in the front row, far right hand corner. She’s very athletic - excels […]

Home… the aftermath

Here’s a picture of us in Dubai - Just before we left our hotel to attend a party in the dessert.
Well, I’m home and “other the hump”. Whew. I finally feel normal. It’s been a long time since I could say that!

The term culture shock has taken on a whole new meaning. Right now, Judy and I are ferociously each tackling our own addictions. She’s trying desperatly to get her international BB in sync, and I’m trying to get online. She’s talking to her IT […]

Only 2 more sleeps!

I woke up this morning and my eyes immediately popped open and I began going over my to-do list. Things are coming together, especially work-wise. I really got caught up this weekend. So peaceful working when I don’t have emails flying in all the time. Lots of last minute things going on this week but […]

No better time than the present

I feel as though I may as well get this over with. I’ve been putting off writing my first blog entry simply because I thought it should be perfect and I just haven’t had the time to compose a “perfect” first blog entry. So it’s after 12 am and I just decided, what the heck? […]
