If you can get passed the handsome gentleman holding the sign, you’ll notice that in behind there is a beautiful looking ride. That is the 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid Energi. From what I was told, there are only 7 of these in the world, so of course I had to touch it! I was invited [...]

Yes I know, if you know the lyrics I’ve quoted in the title, they are not really about “True Love”. Let’s try and get past that because that specific lyric, on it’s own, happens to fit quite nicely. I would also like to state for the record, that I love my Mother and wish her [...]

My son recently turned 4 years old. Okay, give me a minute….. I can’t believe 4 years went by so fast! Anyway, we asked him what kind of birthday party he wanted and got about 6 answers, ranging from MarioKart to Angry Birds to Wolverine??? After much deliberation and convincing, we landed on MarioKart. What [...]

PlasmaCar Review & Giveaway from @PlaSmart (US/CAN)
One of the things the amazing people at PlaSmart said when they agreed to let me do a review and giveaway of one of their PlasmaCars, was that I should only use photos or videos that I took myself. As you can see from the image above, it looks as though I didn’t follow their [...]

I’m a Dad. I love my kids and they make me smile. Look up, there’s proof! I’m pretty good at it too. There’s been a lot of talk lately about Dads and their evolving role in the parenting landscape. It sounds as if us Dads are rising from the ashes of mediocrity and claiming our [...]

Hi Honey, it’s Daddy. I imagine by the time you are able to read this, you’ll be wondering why, to this point, most of the posts have featured stories about your brother. I don’t have a clever answer for that other than to say that he is able to talk and joke a lot more [...]
