Triumphant Return?


 
It's me, I'm back! 

Its been a while, but I was in a meeting at work today, and I was recounting some history and my origin story. It made me think about this blog and reinvigorating it. If you can believe it, my last post was in 2012! I think the concept of blogging has died out in favour of Facebook, The Gram, Twitter (I don't imbibe) etc. Maybe I will cross post these between Facebook and here and see what people think. This return may be short lived if no-one finds it interesting. 

In the last 11 years, my life has mostly been consumed with kid stuff, coaching their soccer, their hockey, various school commitments, band concerts, three years of pandemic/lockdown, which would have been a good time to start writing again, and of course my own hockey (which I am terrible at, as most of you probably know) 

I got a little bit of an old age shock last autumn, with my baby, Addison (Addie as she prefers) going to high school, HIGH SKOOL!. I already knew I was old, but man did that make me feel REALLY old, especially as that was soon followed with my double nickel birthday!

It gets worse. She has now finished her first year, and will be a sophomore in Autumn, AND is working on driver's ed in summer school. She is only 15 and the concept of her driving at such an early age, is truly foreign to Lorraine and I. When we were both learning, the minimum age was 17 before you could even get a learners permit, versus here, where she could be driving by herself at the tender age of 16 years and 1 day!

So if you are on the streets of Highland Park and surrounding area, look out. I may have to find a way to post EAS alerts when she goes out, lol

When Addie discovered me writing this she asked me to say that she does not consent and disagrees with many of the above statements about her; but as her parent, I get to do whatever I want!

Vote For The Cutest Baby

If you think my little girl is just the cutest thing your ever saw, then please vote for her. I recently entered her in a local radio station contest, and we only have about a week to vote to get her through this round, then I would guess some other voting in following rounds. Click here to go to the site and vote , as many times as you can/want, although I think you have to register before you vote, so I understand some people will not want to do that. Vote early, vote often!

Webcast Is Coming

Image
I have been working with a guy in the office, to get this thing going (although really he is the technical whizz on this). The long and short of it, is that it looks fantastic. We tried it last night. The picture quality is a little jerky, but the sound is great, and it's not like we will be running around. We still need to go to the venue and test it there, then set up all the connections and stuff, but barring some major failure..it's on! It will be broadcast here .

News Update

Image
Well it's been a while since I posted any news about what is going on here with us, so I thought I would kinda pull together thoughts from the last few months. The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening. I mention the dodgy dog food intentionally because of an issue which is only getting worse here in the US. For months a major rebranding manufacturer (name withheld to protect from law suits :-) ...
