We’re here. Scene’s better than Mohawk or Ottawa. Vendors abound. I resist the temptation to buy a veggie burrito for old times sake. We have pretty good seats in orchestra B row B just right of centre. It’s not as hot as Ottawa and we’re in the shade which is nice. Set 1: Feel Like [...]
While waiting for the second set the sun goes down and directly to our left and low in the sky is the bright Venus shining in the sky foreshadowing something. I point the planet out to Vlad and he nods not sure what I mean. He thinks it’s a star but it ain’t flickering so [...]
It’s 720pm. Vlad’s still not here. He asked if we should meet at venue but chances of finding him are slim so he agrees to come to the cafe. At this point I am sitting in my truck surfing the web on my bb via a free wifi called collis (from some collision repair centre). [...]
I cruised down through Syracuse and across the 90. Vlad has the tickets so we agree to meet at 5pm at the Albany Street Cafe/Pub in Herkimer. I arrive at 430, park and know that I’ll be awhile because Vlad’s let me know he is way behind schedule. I grab a seat and order up [...]

Well after going 3-0 in day one, and 2-1 in day two, my daughter Cookie and the Ottawa Fusion 14U girls team went into the elimination round with some pretty high expectations on Sunday. The first match had them dumping the Tornadoes in straight sets 25-14 and 25-16. A good start to the day. Their [...]
As pointed out by Jo at Blue Like You, our PM showed up in KW yesterday to watch young Mr. Harper play volleyball with his 14U boys team at the provincials taking place at RIM park. Coincidentally, my daughter Cookie plays for the 14U girls team from the same club. After going 3-0, the girls [...]
“Just For Kicks I heard them say Left for Heaven Only yesterday From near three caves below six floors Someone got scared. They closed the doors For 75 years under lock in key Maybe one day, we’ll get to see.” -me It was 1995. I was wrapping up my Bachelor of Science with a 4 [...]
Timing is everything. And Ottawa’s museum workers have voted in a landslide to strike with a likely start date to be in mid September just in time for the new school year. As they have been working without a contract since April 1st, the timing of this strike could not be more opportune for the [...]
March 3rd, 2009 is a very special day to me as it was this day that Tesla Motors announced their plans to enter Canada. As many of you who read my blog know… a) In December 2006, I asked Santa for a Tesla Roadster. You can read about it by clicking Here. b) In January [...]
