Before you read what I write. Read who I am.

Originally from Alberta and in the last number of years having been living in Vancouver, British Columbia. We are now living in Woolwich, London where we inhabit a wonderful little 2 floor flat in the Royal Arsenal. The family has grown over the years from being just my wife and I to the family of four we are now. My work has brought us to London for the next two years where for the first time in ages we will live in the same house for more than a birthday. The experience is written below from then till now. With a view of the Thames from our windows and boat ride to work the new life begins.

There is something surreal about listening to a soothing tune from the 40's coming from the same place as my 3 year olds computer.

We gave Sebastian an iMac G4 Lampshade computer heavily restricted to play CBC Kids, Treehouse and watch DVDs. It keeps him off our laptops which in turn means our laptops stay crumb free. We gave him a week with it to see how it went, and it has turned out pretty well. He loves to play with the CBC website and likes watching the 1970's Adam West, Burt Ward - Batman movie over and over.

I think it has been a good introduction for him. It is a digital age, but I still think about the time when I was in junior high and got a 386 sx 33 with 512mb of ram and a 200? mb hard drive. It was hot. I remember the hard core upgrade I did changing it out to a 486dx266 with a Gb of ram and it had an awesome video / sound card that had 8mb of video memory. But I digress.... I got caught up in that wave and I think my view is that he will be too.

Also I got snipped last week. No more kids now, and it's been a rough week let me tell you. I honestly never knew you could feel like you had someone walking alongside you just turning to you every now and then and saying " Let me flat footed kick you square in the nuts. " and gleefully following it through. That shit hurts. Still does a little - I used up all my T3's 24 in 48 hours so I took a naproxin yesterday and felt awesome all day. I took another tonight and other than feeling a little loopy I'm good.

Anyway I have a date with a bucket of dirty diapers.... No more Kids.... say it like you'd say "4 more years!" it's fun for the whole family.
