You’re welcome.
What do you want?

This is my daughter’s hamster, Puff Ball:
He’s about six months old now, which surprises me: I figured he (or her) would be dead by now.
A cat, dog, and a hamster. We had a fish once.

We’ve had Wally the Newfoundland Dog for a week. Here are some common questions I get about him, including some observations:

I’m picking up our Newfoundland puppy from Halifax airport today. He’s being shipped from Gander, courtesy of the excellent Seagirt Kennels in northern Newfoundland.
We haven’t picked out a name yet. Any suggestions? I’ll post a photo of him tonight or tomorrow.
Update (May 28, 2008): We picked “Wally”.

While googling myself today (almost sounds naughty), I stumbled on this hockey jersey. It belongs to Eric Cairns of the Pittsburgh Penguins. He’s a Canadian, too! From Oakville, Ontario. We might be 20th cousins or so.
I played hockey for one season, when I has five years old or so.

I recently showed my ignorance of the Queen over at J-Walk’s blog in a series of comments that began like this:
I would love to do away with the monarchy in Canada. It’s absurd how much money and resources we waste in accommodating the Queen.
