My Enthusiastic Curb Appeal

By | April 17, 2010

Going from a show about nothing to a show about people yelling at each other is quite the leap but after watching all seven seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm I can see Larry David’s work all over Seinfeld. After hearing about the Seinfeld reunion on Curb Your Enthusiasm I watched “The Table Read”, laughed a… Read More »

My Heritage Farewell

By | April 16, 2010

On Thursday April 14 I said goodbye to an old friend. My Heritage H-550 Custom had been with me since December 2004. I still look back at the email thread with Jay Wolfe from Wolfe Guitars and smile because I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The instruments craftsmanship was superior, the… Read More »

By | April 15, 2010

Day two of the playoffs mean day one of the playoff beard. Vancouver starts their series against sixth seed Los Angeles tonight and I am hoping this will be the start of a beautiful thing and by June I will have a disgusting and shameful beard.

In short it was going to be awesome… Read More »

My Manual Exposure

My Olympic Breaks

By | March 1, 2010

Like millions of fellow Canadians I enjoyed watching the 2010 Olympics from Vancouver. It was a fantastic seventeen days and I was able to see a lot of memorable moments play out live. I am going to miss switching between three Canadian networks and one American to get complete coverage and regardless of the day… Read More »

My Two Month Tubes

By | February 16, 2010

I had a pretty good week with hot dogs. It has been over two months since my last tube steak and in the span of a week I had three meals of dogs adding to my count by 8. My dream of getting to 52 (again) is still alive.
