Today I walked over to the Real Canadian Superstore in the afternoon and noticed that the Canadian flag at the building was flying at half-mast. It made me think for a moment about the employee who hoisted the flag that morning. Personally, I would consider hoisting the Canadian flag to be a great honour, [...] April 22nd, 2011

This morning after church Adam, Kyla, and I went to Starbucks to enjoy a beverage and company. It was a nice day so we sat on the patio. I was showing Adam and Kyla some photos from Will and I’s east coast trip on a PlayBook when, simultaneously, two things happened: 1. Adam saw [...] March 29th, 2011

I just went into the washroom to trim down my moustache. I wanted to see if I could go down to something like the copstache standard, as per Jon Dyer’s Quest for Every Beard Type. In front of the mirror with comb and trimmer I just couldn’t do it. I couldn’t remove my moustache. [...] March 25th, 2011

I read a few articles today about high schools in Ontario charging fees for some classes. One of these articles was the Globe’s Most Ontario high schools charge illegal course fees. Before today, I had no idea this was going on. Let me share a story with you. When I was in my first [...] October 31st, 2010

When I was with Katy in London I would point out the Starbucks that was visible from every entrance to the Tube. When Evan, Matt, Kevin, and I are in Prague we would “Czech In” every morning to Starbucks in Wenceslas Square. Last winter Adam, Eric, and I would enjoy the occasional 7 a.m. Starbucks trip before work. I visited Jill many times at Starbucks, even sharing her excitement in having some of her photos on display there. A photo of Tiffany is on display in the very Starbucks that she so happily works at. Muis, Foran, Gilles, Misha, Gervais, Joel, and I will relieve our minds from the grip of work with the occasional trip to the Starbucks a mere 300 metres walk from the office. My first apartment was right over a Starbucks in Kingston.

First and second grade for me happened at Duncan McArthur Public School in Kingston. My teacher both years was one Ms. White. Ms. White was a fine teacher–not especially noteworthy one way or the other. She would let us play games at the back of the classroom if we had completed items of work [...] July 27th, 2010

This week the sermon at Parkdale was on 1 Peter 2:13-25. This is a great passage about Christ’s perfect life and his great substitutionary sacrifice. As a part of the sermon the deacon (our Pastor is on vacation) shared a story. The story is told by a well-known pastor (unfortunately I don’t remember his [...] 2 comments | Tags: socialissues

Last night I step onto the elevator on the 14th floor of my building. Just before stepping on a guy steps off. The little light didn’t clear to indicate that this was my elevator, but I stepped on anyway thinking it was a little glitch (as sometimes happens). I pressed the B1 button to [...] April 7th, 2010

A coworker of mine had purchased some Hershey Eggies on sale after this past Easter weekend. This lead us to discuss the differences between Eggies and Cadbury’s Mini Eggs. He challenged me on what I thought was universally agreed: Cadbury Mini Eggs are better than Hershey Eggies. His statement was that they are the [...] March 30th, 2010

I was involved in an altercation tonight. I left school on my motorcycle and was driving along on Laurier. I had decided to take a scenic route home. I pulled up to a light in the right lane and a car entered the lane behind me, then jumped the curb and pulled up beside [...] |
