December 30, 2000 - Amazing Fact! - Dick Clark is still Alive!
|  |
|
|
|
|
Just working on the menu for tomorrow's dinner party and I came across a little tidbit indicating that America's
oldest teenager, Dick Clark, is still going strong at the age of 142. Clark is said to be going after the title of some old testament
types like Noah and Moses. Clark openly admits it may be tough to beat Noah's 950 years but also pointed out that Noah didn't
have the demands of a weekly variety show.

December 28, 2000 - Christmas is Over, on to New Year's
| |
|
|
|
Well we made it through another Christmas, the last of the millenium, and what a wonderful Christmas
it was. Santa was very kind and both Lisa and I ended up with some nifty gifts. As always, it was good to see family and friends again and catch up a little. I have quite
a few hi-res pictures of my aunt Masie as well as many pictures from the Bedard's Christmas soiree. At the request of the attendees,
and to protect the innocent, access to these pictures are restricted. E-mail me for the password. On to New Years!

December 11, 2000 - 13 Shopping days 'til Christmas
| |
|
|
|
|
Not much going on, just really wanted to show this picture Matt found that gives 8 good reasons
to rush Sigma Nu. Big snow storm tonight dropping 20cm of snow on us. It took me 2 hours to get home
which was really annoying. If it were only legal to drive over impeding automobiles I would have been home a lot sooner.

December 10, 2000 - Well look who's gettting married!
| |
|
|
|
|
Yes its official, Jay and Michelle have decided to call the dating thing quits and get hitched. Michelle is now the
proud owner of a beautiful diamond solitaire and Jay now has a credit card payment. We hosted dinner last night at our place
where they gave us the big news. I guess the story is that Michelle came home on Friday to roses and wine and an offer she couldn't refuse, very romantic.
No word of a date yet but I'm sure we'll find out soon. Congratulations guys, we're all very happy for you.

November 27th, 2000 - Election Day!
| |
|
|
|
|
After 5 weeks of pure boredom and also having to listen to the all the crap about the American election,
Canadians finally go to the polls. It looks like another Liberal majority govenment with the Bloc Quebecois taking the
official opposition. Note, this is a forward looking statement and I promise not to change it in a feeble attempt
at revisionist history . Just look how smug Chretien is in this picture, you'd think he owned the place. No new pictures right now but expect a glut in December.

Got a web cam to test our company's new internet gateway product. Probably way too invavsive for us
so take your looks now while it's still up. Click on the picture to have the web page update every 10 seconds.

Novemver 4th, 2000 - Standard Time Sucks
| |
|
|
|
|
Looking for some of the earlier entries in the year? Due to the poor load time I have moved the
entries to the Archive section of the web lounge. Look at the links on the bottom of the left hand bar.
The only real news for this week is that Charlie's Angels opened this week and tonight, Lisa,
Lynn, Cheri and Michelle are going out on a "Girls night out" to see this abomination. Needless to say, Jay and I are
going to get a case and stay home to watch reruns of the original on TV. Kate Jackson is my fav.

October 30th, 2000 - Hallowe'en is here!
| |
|
|
|
|
Well tomorrow is Halloween and I'm soooo excited. I have enough candy for 100 kids and if that
runs out I have enough concussion grenades to keep the neighbours' kids at bay for at least 2 hours. Finished the pictures
from Gus' wonderful Halloween party on the weekend. This poor wretched creature, pictured to the right, was seen offering
guests beer in exchange for the opportunity to clean out their orafices. Lisa dressed up as some 50's tart and I took
on the personae of 'Hecubus, man-servant of evil'. Everyone had a great time and it was good to see Rory up from London
dressed up as a Home Depot associate. Really original Rory. Click on the link to view the pictures, particularly look
at the picture of Lisa and Jay doing their barfly imitation. Classic.

August 31, 2000 - Off to Algonquin Park
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Yes finally our long awaited canoe trip into Algonquin has arrived. Tonight we stay in
Huntsville and then off into the park. Our canoe trip is shown above for all those who want to play along from home.
Christina and Henry are our canoe partners for the expedition into the wild and we just can't wait to start. Plus, I've upgraded
the digital camera to 125 exposures so if you liked all my airplane photos from BC, you'll love all my gunnel pictures
from the canoe.
Here's the route: From the access point (3), we travel NE through Butt Lake and onto Little trout where we camp. Day 2 involves
us going onto the 1.3km portage to the Tim River and down the on Tim. Yes we're all going down on the Tim (beat you to it). From
there we take the 1.2km portage to Shah lake where we camp. Day 3 has us canoeing down to Misty Lake, onto Muslim lake, face east,
onto Wenona and finally onto Mocasin where we make camp. Day 4 involves us getting back to the truck.

August 24, 2000 - Another Day in the life
| |
|
|
|
|
Still haven't finished all the BC pictures yet but I managed to get a great picture of the Pizza I made
tonight! As well, I took this great picture of Lisa snearing at her purse. My niece Katie arrives for a visit tomorrow
and Lisa and I busily preparing for her stay.
In terms of what the word is: Mike Koval leaves for caribbean med school next week. Somehow I see him coming back
and saying "Hi everybody!", and everyone will reply, "Hi Dr. Mike!".

July 28th, 2000 - New Member of the family Arrives!
| |
|
|
|
|
After 19 days of fighting with the camera store, two lost camera's to couriers, and finally a flat tire,
our brand new Minolta Dimage 2300 has arrived. With this 2.3 megapixel digital camera I can now present you with even
higher resolution pictures of our parties as well as the usual holiday snaps. And for the benefit of Pat Dean, this means a 5 fold increase in the pixel
density that you can bring to bear on your gratuitous crotch shots!

July 23rd, 2000 - Marisa's Birthday Party!
| |
|
|
|
|
Yes Marisa turned 24 yesterday and what better way to start off another year of life than to get real loaded and go around telling people what you REALLY think of them :-).
I guess there had to be about 30 people at the party as well as about 20 migrant farm workers working the tables and sitting in as cabaret.
One of these workers turned out to be a mexican witch-doctor and he is pictured, left, just after he turned Marisa into
a 7 foot bottle of Jose Cuervo gold. This was by far the best part of the party. Everybody had a great time and we danced the night away at the
Devil's Martini. The real highlight was the christening of Lisa and Michelle to the cullinary experience known simply
as "the jug". For those who haven't been there in a while, don't worry Jug is still working there and the bathrooms are
actually worse than before.
