Tidbits

  • Sleepover at Ikea - Maybe this is the only way to get to the $1 early enough…

  • A ramen bath - Japanese spa with special baths resembling instant noodles.  I wanna play!

  • Old age homes for dogs - 1) Old dogs don’t like to be abandoned at strange places.  2) Playing with young puppies will probably cause the older dogs to die faster due to exhaustion.

  • A remote-controlled pigeon - Oh the poor thing…

  • An article on a brilliant method of teaching grade schoolers about bats and rabies.  I smell a lawsuit.

  • Will trade beer for Crumpler bags.  Tempted by the beanbag and messenger bags…

Over the Canadian Thanksgiving weekend, we went to Adirondacks park in Upstate New York.  We figured it would be good to go somewhere in the US on a Canadian long weekend, but alas, they have their US Columbus Day weekend then as well.  The last time we were there…

This is what I’ll look like if I were a man…

First weekend of October, and it’s already freezing.  This is usually the time of year we run around to check out fall colours, but with the weather, just feel like sitting around at home, wrapped in a blanket, and doing nothing.  We want to go hike in Adirondacks again,…

Summer 2009 In Review

September 03, 2009 | Activities |

I don’t usually do any major traveling in the summer.  Too hot, too many people, and too expensive.  This summer kinda sucked because of the weather, and Mike disappearing for 4 weeks.  Last weekend truly felt like the start of fall though.  We were camping at Bruce Peninsula National…
