The New Year cometh…
Today is the last day of 2009, and the end of the first decade of the century. Time to look back, I suppose, and consider where we’ve been.
The day to day aspects of life: what is happening around the house and in our family
Remember our Veterans
It is November 11th, and time to remember all of those who stood in the way of danger for our future. And since the Canadian government seems to have removed…
Ewoks gone mad
The folks on the Today Show have discovered a little known fact about the Ewoks from Star Wars. They really can't handle their booze very well... https://youtu.be/LQ0S0BUE0zg?si=oNPEXxDNvtFzTNCI Apparently the folks…
Nova Scotia Vacation Pictures
I decided to avoid procrastinating by converting/uploading all of our vacation photos today. I’m done, and you can check them out in our gallery, or read on for more specific links.
Home again…
Irene and I got back home yesterday (Monday) somewhat before noon local time. The vacation was great and I enjoyed seeing Nova Scotia, but it is probably somewhat telling that both Irene and I slept for nearly 16 hours when we got home.
The main things I would change for next time would be to stay longer, and more importantly to stay longer in each hotel.
On the Bluenose II… and ducks
Irene and I are on day two of our vacation to Nova Scotia. So far, I am having a lot of fun. We’ve flown too far, eaten too much, and now I have wind burn. In my previous post I provided a link to our travel “map”: in theory, it is supposed to be updated in near real time, but for some reason it stopped updating yesterday. I forced it to update earlier this evening, but don’t have a lot of faith that it will keep working going forward.
Today I have uploaded my first batch of pictures…
In case you want to follow our trip…
I installed a little "trip tracker" app on my BlackBerry before I left. It is called GPSed and, other than the fact that it seems to have a dickens of…
Packing up…
I’m organizing my electronics, clothing, and sundries for our trip to Nova Scotia. The plane leaves at around 7:30 PM tomorrow, and we arrive in Halifax at about 6:30 am or some similar ungodly hour- I’m only vaguely aware of the actual itinerary.
The actual details of the travel are not that interesting to me at the moment. The important stuff, of course, is what to take and what to do when we get there.
Famous
Years from now, someone will ask "Who is Kelly Adams? Was he ever famous?" And the answer will be "No, of course not. But his brother Ron was once on…
Web shopping
A year ago, I was an occasional “web shopper”. Most of what I bought was purchased through my favorite “computer stuff” store, NCIX. But that isn’t “really” web shopping: I’d order stuff through their website, sure, but I’d go pick it up at their nearest location here in Langley. Real webshopping is when the thing you ordered arrives at the door courtesy the friendly post/UPS/FedEx/Purolator person.
Fast forward to today…
