Tonight I was lucky enough to attend a public discussion on poverty as part of the Real Issue Conversation Series at the London Foodbank. The Real Issue is an innovative campaign being run by several organizations in London to generate a frank and honest discussion about poverty in our city. The discussion tonight was thought… Continue reading The Real Issue

Signs you need to find a new driving school
Was leaving my condo on Friday when I snapped this gem of a photo. Note that this is the exact same handicapped spot where I found a police car and city official in the summer. While not as great as the cop car, I think finding a Driving School Instructor parked in a handicap spot… Continue reading Signs you need to find a new driving school
Well that doesn’t look good…
In case you missed it, a few months back my life long dream of catching a police car parked in a handicapped parking zone came true: it wouldn’t have been so funny if it wasn’t so sad and absurd at the same time. Absurdity has struck again in London, as yesterday on my walk to… Continue reading Well that doesn’t look good…
Why I Missed the Emerging Leaders Relaunch Party
For those not in the know, last night was the Relaunch Party for a local non-profit called Emerging Leaders, an event I had been invited to but regrettably was not able to attend. For those who are curious as to why I did not go, they need look no further than the flight of stairs leading into… Continue reading Why I Missed the Emerging Leaders Relaunch Party
Friday Shout Outs
As you may or may not know, a woman came up to me at Costco yesterday claiming I was “that guy from the TV.” I’m assuming that by “that guy” she actually means “Stephen Hawking.” In honour of the man I should probably dress up as for halloween this year, I present a clever comic… Continue reading Friday Shout Outs
Well that only took 10 years…
Now that Jeff and Clara are old people, there isn’t much to look forward to when birthdays roll around. In high school, we had so much to look forward to, like turning 16 and being able to drive, 18 and being able to gamble, 19 and being able to drink, turning 21 and being able… Continue reading Well that only took 10 years…
New backbone, new layout!
As you may or may not have noticed, we’ve been having some problems with the website, starting about a month ago. Just before leaving for Barcelona an update came down the chute for Webcomics, a wordpress plugin we’d been using to deploy the site. Unfortunately, this update has been nothing but problems, causing down-time and… Continue reading New backbone, new layout!
Where are the balls?
Jeff was watching the North American Power Hockey Tournament online when perhaps the best quote ever was uttered by the two amateur announcers: Female Announcer: “The big North American Power Hockey Cup, that’s where all the balls are.” Male Announcer: “That’s right, you just have to remember to take the balls out before putting the… Continue reading Where are the balls?
Barcelona Travel Log — Day 14 — Insert confusion
After sleeping basically all day yesterday, it was finally time for Melody and I to take to the skies and return to the Great White North. Checking out of the hotel and catching the bus like pros, we made it to the airport in amazing time. Unfortunately, this would be the last “easy” thing that… Continue reading Barcelona Travel Log — Day 14 — Insert confusion
Barcelona Travel Log — Day 13 — And then there were two…
As it was a month ago, Clara and I are once again separated by an ocean. Because of some mis-planning and bad calender abilities, we ended up having different return flights to Canada, with Clara leaving this morning and Melody and I flying out tomorrow morning. In order to make Clara’s flight, we got up early today and hit… Continue reading Barcelona Travel Log — Day 13 — And then there were two…
