I Tweet, Therefore I Am
I was playing around with http://visual.ly/ and thought the Infographic it made from my Tweets was fun. Thought I would share it here with you.

Recently I was looking for a way to run a contest on a website that I work on with a friend of mine. After looking around a little bit I settled on a service called Rafflecopter. It works quite well. Not as automated as some of the paying contest services but for FREE it is [...]

Robertson 2011 Halloween Pumpkins
I was never into carving Halloween pumpkins like this until I had kids. Now it has become our family tradition to carve two pumpkins, one for each kid. For our 2011 Halloween pumpkins Erica wanted a Barbie Kitty, and Matthew wanted an axe man. Thank goodness for those pumpkin stencil books that you can buy. [...]

Blue Man Group in Regina
Went to see Blue Man Group last night here in Regina. Had a great time out with my wife. It was her birthday a little while ago and then our anniversary so the concert was celebrating a bit of both of those occassions. I have to say they really put on a show. I have [...]

My Name is Not Griswald
On our recent trip to our cabin we had brutal storm. Took down lots of trees and did damage on several places around ours. The cabin four doors down lost 3/4 of their roof so I came out pretty good. My car was unlucky enough to be in the path of a falling spruce tree. [...]

Apraxia Joys and Frustrations
It is strange to put joy and apraxia in the same sentence in the title of this post. One would think that there could be no joy in the fact that your daughter cannot talk very well and that she has to work so hard to communicate. With all the struggles that come with apraxia [...]

An Open Letter to Canada
Calling all Canadians to get out there on May 2nd and VOTE! We can’t let this man back in Parliament! If that is not enough then watch this one. Harper even steals a speech from Emperor Palpatine!

Disney Vacation
For those that did not know, we went on a winter holiday to Disney World and an eastern Carribean Disney Cruise. We spent 4 days at Disney World exploring the various parks and then set sail for 7 days on the Disney Magic cruise ship. Overall I have to say we had a FANTASTIC TIME! [...]

Bill C32 or the Reason I Hate Politics
If you have been following me on Twitter I want to apologize for all of the tweets about Bill C32. I don’t usually spend a lot of time following politics, mainly because I find it boring, but then the government goes and does something so tremendously stupid that I get a little frustrated and angry. [...]

Majestic Car Show
Went to the Majestic Car Show on Saturday. I am not the most mechanical person in the world but I do appreciate how much time and energy people put into their cars. I have always had a soft spot for old Thunderbirds. Think they were my favourites.

I am Erica
I have not posted much about Erica’s progress with speech therapy. It takes her a lot of work to learn how to say new sounds and words. She is becoming much more understandable over the last little while. Just the other day though she started to say her name. My wife and I were quite [...]

Going to school concerts, church concerts, Christmas parties, and of course spending some time together. No big plans here for the holidays. I think we are going to be happy just being at [...]

Halloween 2009
Finally got around carving pumpkins here for Halloween this year. Not long ago me and the kids where at the local craft store picking up some Perler beads and we came across some pumpkin carving design books. No surprise that my daughter wanted the Disney Princess design book. My son went for the scary pumpkin [...]

The Church of the Riders
Last week a friend of mine invited me to goto the Riders games versus Montreal. I am not a huge sports fan, something my wife is usually grateful for, but I do enjoy watching the Riders. I suppose it is part of growing up in Saskatchewan, particularly in Regina. While the whole province supports the [...]

Parksville, British Columbia
In April 2009 we journeyed out to Parksville British Columbia. It was a long trip, but with regular stops at what seemed to be every McDonalds on the way there and back, visiting family in Calgary, and enjoying our stays at the hotels along the way it was an enjoyable trip. There was lots of [...]

Working in Pajamas
Ok I admit it, there are days when I sit around and work in my pajamas. There are some people that will give me a rough time about doing that, but you know what, those people are just jealous. Face it, given the choice of getting up, driving through traffic, sitting in an office from [...]

Just Another WordPress Blog
With over 120 million blogs in existence the question of whether or not the world needs another WordPress blog is probably a resounding NO! That will not stop me from starting this new blog and yes it might be just another WordPress blog, but I am not just another blog author. That might sound egotistical, [...]
