Eulogy for Kane
10:58 PM
1 comment
Well today we said goodbye to a good friend, my brothers dog Kane. He lived not as a pet, but as a member of our family. It's hard to watch someone you love get old and sick as with Kane and reality can be a hard mistress. My brother was left with a difficult decision, but in the end it not a question of choice, but what was more humane. I'll always remember him as a happy-go-lucky guy who loved to run and play, especially in the water. I never really let it get to me until now... I guess it's because his nature was like a teenager not an...

In the Shadow of the Red

Well as I'm sure most of you might know, last night was a lunar eclipse. For the not so science people, that means the Earth was between the Moon and the Sun. The red like colour was produced from the sunset/sunrise light curving around the Earth and hitting the Moon. Cool eh?I recently got a new camera, a Canon A570is for a sweet deal of around $120Cdn. For the money it's the best camera out there hands down! To make it an even better camera,...

Well the trip is over and we are back home. At least the weather has been awesome since arriving back in Canada. I have been going over the enormous collection of pictures that we managed to accumulate on the trip and have been cleaning them up, cropping, etc.The program Adobe Lightroom is excellent program for looking and working with pictures and it has the ability to apply creative effects to the pictures. The nice thing is that all the changes...

Puerto Vallarta : the finale
8:35 PM

Well, the last couple of days just flew by and we leave tomorrow. I must say that I'm starting to enjoy this "all-inclusive" trip. In the past, most of my trips are planned with activities every day that involve driving to and from and typically end up being long days. This is the first vacation where there was no driving and a fair amount of time lounging around.I can honestly say that I’m leaving this place more relaxed than when I arrived....

Well it appears we are surviving with smiles on our faces as you can see by the wonderful family shot of my brother. I can't guarantee they always look this way!!We have found our spot in the pool where we head to on a regular basis and it's nice that this part of the pool is shallow enough for the kids to play. Bro has been great with the kids, much like a big jungle gym! Logan has appreciated the distraction away from his folks!We're all adjusting...

Blogging from Puerto Vallarta

Well, here I am writing a post from the comforts of 25 degree weather. Considering it was about -25 when we left, that's a 50 degree change. Could explain the bizarre lobster-like color I'm turning. I guess I could have listened to Dora, but I prefer to rely on my awesome common sense and genetics. Apparently both failed me today.Regardless, the weather has been great and the "all-inclusive" is living up to it's name. I don't think this lifestyle...
