That’s lame (for now)
My wife and I know there’s going to come a time when our daughter, who’s due any day now, won’t want to have anything to do with us. This morning, in fact, we were cracking jokes about the heartbreaking day when she’ll flip out because we gave her a hug in front of her friends. [...]

By now, you’ve probably heard that the Harper government reversed its same-sex marriage policy this morning.

Two blogs (one new, one new again)

Movember: Day 2
Today hasn’t been much different from any other day in the facial hair department. You’d be hard pressed to tell the difference with your hands, let alone your eyes, between the part of my face I haven’t been shaving and the part of my face I have. If I had to come up with a [...]

Movember: Day 1
I’ve never done Movember before, but I decided this year that it was finally time to give it a shot. I didn’t want to do it alone, though, so I dropped my brother a line and asked if he’d like to get on board and make a friendly competition out of it. He said “Sure [...]

Memories of Jack
I haven’t written much in this space lately, and to tell you the truth, I’m not sure how much more writing I’ll end up doing. But when it comes to paying tribute to a great man on a very sad day, I’ll gladly and gratefully make an exception. Everyone, it seems, has got at least [...]
