I had to put this in...

Ever had problems finding that special gift for someone who just can't get enough of SPAM? Try this site out!

I found it on a link in the John Cleese site - it's legit! I love the "silly walk" section!

Enjoy!

new blogger - we'll see...

I thought i'd try the new version of Blogger out - so I've migrated this blog to it. We'll see how it goes.

Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day. Went to two services over the last two days. Saturday was at the armouries near our house. Only the band ipc turned out - I moved the camera too much again when I took a picture of the soldiers in thier ranks.

Sunday was the "Regimental Church Parade" for the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. I joined the band for the day and played my saxophone for the Anglican service (very long Cathedral service). Afterwards, they did a graveside service at a memorial for the soldiers who died in the Riel Rebellion of 1874 (is my year right?)

Reminded me too much of Grandpa Budlong's graveside funeral.

Of what measure is a man?

Surfing the net today and found a former student's blog. Kind of neat to read his comments on life. Particularily this one.

Read the links that go to Bill (Dad) and others too!

It did get me thinking about how we define manhood and why. After going to today's Remembrance Day service, it really gets me thinking.

I'm still thinking, though. If you read this, I'd like to hear what your thoughts are too.

I live in an awesome city. Realized that this past week when we were getting the keys to the new house. The lawyer's office was on the 24th floor of the Soctia Tower on the corner of Portage and Main. They had an amazing view of the south part of the city and the Forks - here's some shots of The Forks, the Provenchier Bridge, and one of the better hotels in the city. I also went to "Garbage hill" today. For those who don't know, it's an old dump that is covered over and has been turned into an off-leash area for dogs. I tried to take some pictures at dusk - but the photos turned out blurry. I guess next time I should take my tripod.

oops - it's sideways....

Can put up with that - this is Nathanael's costume this year - a Court Jester.

Too much Danny Kaye, I think.
