Where is that cheese?
March 16th, 2010 by jeff.graham
Why, it’s in her HAIR!!! Seems like there’s more than just cheese in there too…looks a little crusty!
Ah, the joys of feeding yourself! This is pretty tame in comparaison to some other stories I’ve heard of where there was jam up the nose or soup over the head. Have a kid-mess story to share? Please do so!
There’s nothing quite like a super-cool dog food ad, is there?

Where has the time gone? This time last year Erin was sooo pregnant and we were sooo excited to meet our little bundle of joy. Now, a year later, Ava is almost one and I can tell you that being a dad has been the most rewarding experience of my life. That all-encompassing love I feel for our little girl is overwhelming at times that I sometimes have to catch myself before I start squirting out tears of joy. Man, fatherhood has made me soft! Don’t tell anyone…seriously.
Anyhow, I hope my constant chatter about Ava hasn’t annoyed too many people. And thanks to everyone who’s offered advice over the past year. Both good and…uh…interesting. I’m sure I’ll be asking for plenty more over the course of this year. Like: “Are you sure we can’t micro-chip our childern like we do our dogs?”
Happy International Women’s Day!

In all thy sons commaaaand..uh..whataya mean I can’t say that anymore?
March 4th, 2010 by jeff.graham

So now the Government wants to look at a new tune for O Canada. Yesterday’s Throne Speech included a proposal to re-examine the lyrics of the national anthem including the reference to “all thy sons command”. They promised to “examine the original gender-neutral English wording of the national anthem.”
An alternative would be using part of the original 1908 poem on which the lyrics were based. It refers to “true patriot love thou dost in us command.”
What do you think? Is changing the present lyrics to ensure ”gender-neutrality” a good idea? Is this more un-needed political correctness? Is this the first step into eventually removing “God” from the national anthem?
All your thoughts are welcome!
