Here's an idea. When I see a movie, I'll jot down a few sentences about what I thought of it and rate it on a scale of 1-10. I'm full of good ideas. Miracle: 5 out of 10. I watched this flick about the 1980 US Olympic hockey team that
Toronto's Neighbourhoods - This is an excellent primer on Toronto's Neighbourhoods. They're missing a few neighbourhoods I'm quite familiar with in the west end, but most are here. If you want to read more about Toronto's neighbourhoods, this page is pretty good too.
The latest Tom Cruise movie, Collateral, opens Friday. I know this because I saw the trailer prior to Spider-Man 2 and the advertisement frequently appears on my television. I loved the trailer and the ads for this flick, but not because I'm particularly looking forward to Michael Mann's latest film.
Michelle came home yesterday. Suddenly it's a rather full house with two adults, two children and a dog. James has been giving his little sister lots of kisses and awoke briefly at 05:00 upset because he could hear Michelle crying. He hates it when she cries. Michelle herself has

On Sunday mornings, James and I often watch a show entitled "Tipi Tales". In fact, we saw it this morning.

Hi Mike, it's another Mike here. Unheralded British heavyweight Danny Williams knocked you out in the fourth round last night. Your professional record is now 50-5-2, but this is your first ever loss in a non-title fight. I'm begging you to hang up the gloves for good before you've completely
I want to wish my mom a very happy birthday today. Today, she turns 39 years old. I know that's hard to believe considering I'm 30, but that's what she tells me! Mom, we hope you're satisfied with the gift of two new grandchildren. Ryan and I came up with

I was driving along Bay Street at about 03:30 in the morning on Thursday when I was stopped at Richmond Street West. A movie crew was shooting a scene and there were automobiles from the 1930s driving along Richmond Street while people walked about dressed in outfits from that

Since I was at two hospitals this evening, first visiting my daughter and then my nephew, I have a few new pictures to share. There are four new shots now posted in Pictures. I've also added a new clip of Michelle I took moments after her birth to Videos.
What were the odds Ryan and I would have children born on the exact same day? I'm not talking about sharing a birthday with a close family member, but an actual birth date. Michelle was born at 12:55 this morning and Kara gave birth to my nephew Zander at

Taryn and I watched Canadian Idol last night. I know, it's cheesy, but we all need a guilty pleasure or two. Ben Mulroney made one final corny joke and it was 21:00 EST. All was well... At some point between 21:00 EST and 21:30 EST, Taryn started
At 12:55 this morning, Taryn gave birth to a beautiful baby girl we've named Michelle. She's 7 pounds and 5 ounces and the sweetest thing you ever did see. I've just returned home from the hospital where I spent the last three hours admiring her. She's definitely going to
Taryn's contractions are only seven minutes apart right now so if this keeps up we'll be heading to the hospital. The bag is packed, we're ready to rock. Ryan's baby hasn't arrived yet and we're expecting him tomorrow at the latest. It would be completely wild if Michelle and Zander
