Ninth Annual Christmas Party

Another great success!  Click on the photo to see more wonderful shots by our photographer extraordinaire…Mike!

Edit:  Oooh…Flickr has some nice new features so instead of clicking on the photo, you can just click left or right on it to see the rest of the album.  That’s fantastic!

Welcome to Abigail!

When you see me from this point on, you will see a ridiculously good looking Uncle as my sister had a baby girl named Abigail yesterday afternoon.

I don’t know if shewould appreciate me sending photos of her hopped up on meds with a baby in her hand. So I figured a shot of my Dad and Abigail is fine.

I also can’t tell what side of the family a baby looks like. I don’t have that gift. At least that kid looks super alert. Maybe the kid is super cold because in Kapuskasing, they don’t bother turning the heat on in public buildings until December 15. abigail 024

Remember, remember, the month of Movember

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to grumble!

Grumble about what?  Perhaps the lack of upper lip hair…or the fact that your husband is growing a moustache which is going to look pretty damn awesome to him, but not so awesome to you!

Either way, you know what time of year it is.  Moustaches across the world are being born as I type this…walking down the road you will notice the whiskers starting to sprout.

This year I’m lucky to have recruited quite a few gentlemen (and a lady!) to our cause.  Our team this year is the ‘Mo Bank’.  We have some of the regulars on the team (like our resident photographer Mike G!) as well as some people from my work.

Will we beat out Reed Ludwig?  I sure hope so!

If you are not familiar with the Movember campaign…it is a campaign which raises funds for prostate cancer research as well as promoting men’s health.

Canada has the honour of being the #1 country in donations for the past two years running.  Let’s make it a solid three!

Happy Birthday Mike!

mikeg

Seriously, this guy needs no introduction to most of my friends and family. He was the photographer at our wedding, he is a fellow Mo’Bro each year for Movember, he is the guy who goes out of his way to accommodate friends and family…

Ladies and Gentlemen…Mike’s Birthday has arrived. Get this man some scotch.

Great article about unplugging from cable TV.  I really like his last point.

KISS, Nirvana and Deep Purple Nominated

I find it strange to see Nirvana nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with KISS and Deep Purple. Is this the first time KISS has been nominated?

While I’m a huge fan of Nirvana and not the biggest fan of Nirvana, it would be quite strange to see Nirvana beat out KISS.

But there’s this massive Nirvana rebirth going on with 20th anniversary box sets, remaining members jamming with Paul McCartney, and the Sound City documentary….
