Still no baby, but we’re getting closer

, February 2, 2012

Kate and I went to the hospital today for a routine ultrasound. I didn’t think we’d actually have to keep the appointment, because our due date was Sunday – and after I thoughtlessly tweeted about being at the hospital, I had to clarify that we hadn’t had the baby today. What we do have is […]

Two articles on Disinformation recently caught my eye. The first was about a recent study that found a link between low intelligence and social conservative ideology, and the second was about a prominent social conservative who believes America would be a better place if fewer people got an education. Researchers at Brock University found that […]

If my wife can give birth, I can do a few more pushups

, January 31, 2012

Kate has dedicated herself to a pretty solid exercise routine. She’s kept in great shape throughout her pregnancy, and she’s bound to reap the results in labour. There’s really no better incentive for staying fit than knowing it’ll making the birthing process easier. But Kate’s not the only one who’s been inspired by her pregnancy. […]

She was due yesterday, but it looks as if she’s going to keep us waiting a little while longer. Due dates are a vague business. The date itself is typically calculated based on the date […]

By now, you’ve probably heard that the Harper government reversed its same-sex marriage policy this morning. In a test case launched by a lesbian couple seeking a divorce, a Department of Justice lawyer argued that their marriage isn’t legal in Canada because the couple couldn’t have legally married in England or Florida, where they reside.

Movember: Day 2

, November 2, 2011

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

, November 1, 2011

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

, August 22, 2011

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 […]
