Funny (and in many cases oddly true) observations about being a man, courtesy of that man's man, the man about town, the man women want to be with, and the man men want to be: Homer Simpson.

Simpson's The MOVIE!
OMG! I can't wait!
Allison & I have a date tonight & we're going to go & see the Simpson's! I can't wait!
Firstly, we haven't been to a movie in about 10 or so months. I can't even remember what the last movie we saw together was. I can't wait & I hope that we can get some tickets! I think I may have to stop by & pre-purchase some tickets - just to make sure that we can get in!
I just checked online & so far, there seems to be some space available! This movie is going to rock! I hope Allison doesn't mind some absent minded laughter!
On another note, we have our referral to go & visit Toronto Sick Kids. We will be going up on August 22. We haven't decided if we are going to drive or fly up. Flying would be much quicker; however, I think driving would be more fun because we can come & go as we please once we get there! We have lots of family in the area as well that I would love to visit. My aunt Yolande & my cuzin's are in Belleville - a couple of hours away & Colin is in London - which is a couple of hours past. Allison also has family out there that we can always crash at! At least we wouldn't be stuck.
I truly hope that the Dr Clark gives us a good diagnosis! What I mean is that I'm hoping for a no surgery option. I think Olivia will be able to strenghten that arm on her own & that it will continue to heal.
Well, that's all that's new for now!
'til next time!

This is scary stuff! I guess this really emphasizes the importance of using the proper equipment...

Edmonton Condo Fire
WOW is all I can say! Unreal!
They said that over 149 Units where lost in a new Condo Complex & 18 other Duplexes where lost! That must have been some hot fire to fight.

What a day!
Well, yesterday was certainly an interesting day!
Like any other day, it started out ok, until I turned on my phone & noticed that I had a voicemail notification.... I remember that from the day before, I had 9 saved messages that I needed to work on.
Well, as I started checking my message, I quickly learned that I had 5 new messages from between 8am & 9am - when I started my day!
WOW
That's all I could think of. I never remember having that many voicemails in a very long time! I had a hard time keeping up.... Oh well, I finally caught up around 3pm and that's only because I had to go to Bouctouche to meet with 3 different appointments - 5, 6 & 7pm. What fun!
Well, I finally got home last night around 845'ish & put my supper in the oven. Allison tells me that the dryer isn't working.... well, i'm not sure what go into me, but i needed to fix it & not stop until I was done! So I did!
Only ended up eating supper around 1045 or maybe it was closer to 1100.... either way, it was late & sort of a good thing! I'll explain in a sec!
Ok, here's the explanation.
I headed to bed around 1230'ish & was tossing & turning. Apparently, I must have fallen asleep cause all i heard was this vibrating on my night stand next to me!
I open my eyes & look at the pager - it's not doing anything, so it must have been a dream.... until, "Dieppe Fire, That's Dieppe Fire. Could you please respond to a house fire at 103 Merlot St, that's 103 Merlot St...." it's now 1:15 am!
WOOHOO!!!! Time to roll.....
Got up, got dressed, got my eyes in (apparently one of them was in backwards) and headed out to the station.
I was second to arrive & got dressed & ready to roll with E-26. Kevin showed up & I'm glad, cause I really didn't want to drive - I wanted to be in the house!
Once we got on scene, we went to see the Chief for assignement. I did get to go in, and help with the overhaul & search for fire extention.
When everything was said & done, I crawled back into bed at 4:45am.... and I originally wanted to get up for 7am to listen to a conference call.... sleeping was not going to be a big part of my night....
I was also just thinking that this was my second house fire of the year! I've missed a couple - I think but it was exciting!
That's all I've got for now!
'til next time!
