  1. I volunteer sporadically, when the cause strikes me and when I can honestly put my all into it. I seem to have alot of good intentions, but fall short in the follow through department.

    I recently auditioned to be a volunteer correspondent on a local tv station. That one is purely for my own selfish needs so I can say that I am on tv, and also because it will make me super popular.

  2. Convince us to move?

    Why not convince you to get the hell outside and make the most of where you live?

    You're a drive away from Georgian bay, Lake Huron, The Niagara Escarpment, GREAT LIVE MUSIC, Friends, the good 'ol USA...Loads of travel possibilities, Montreal and Quebec City, loads of high paying jobs, loads of low paying jobs if you want more time off...Move? That's a significant investment with possibly little return if you're just frustrated.

    Ottawa and Collingwood are close but still...finding a place, packing, moving, frustration, expenses, damages...

    What's wrong with where you live?

    It's not that I dislike Southern Ontario, nor that we don't take advantage of all of the things you mentioned.

    That being said, the possibilities are endless. Having lived somewhere as astonishingly beautiful as Vancouver Island makes it hard to settle for less, and if we get an opportunity to re-locate and raise our son somewhere where smog and brown rivers aren't a daily reality, we may just jump all over that.

    We may just stay in the KW area also, just entertaining our options, that's all.

  3. Here's the thing:

    Hal hates his job, I just lost mine. We are ready for a change and our son is young enough that he won't freak out too badly if we change our scene drastically. Sooooo, "CONVINCE US TO MOVE"!! If you can convince us to relocate to your area, you get unlimited access to Hal's goofy wit and my dry, sarcastic low-blows on a regular basis. There's plenty more perks where that came from too!

    Let the contest begin!

  4. Apparently said hawk has been taking care of the squirrel population in the area and he's even taken out a groundhog. He does tend to leave the disemboweled corpses of his prey in the children's playground though.

  5. As I was walking back to my car today after dropping my son off at daycare, I noticed a HUGE red-tailed hawk sitting on a branch a few feet away. It was probably the most amazing thing I've seen in awhile (I do have a pretty boring life). They never used to be as common when I was a kid and I see hawks and falcons all the time now (although never quite so close) which I take as a good sign.

    He could have just been waiting there to pick off one of the toddlers though...

  6. Sorry to intercept this love-connection, but I thought I should tell you all that the PM interception is not at all fabricated. That is exactly what Hal does every day after work, except he forgot to add the part about how he makes me dress up as Billy Gibbons and wash his back for him. Some nights I have to be Dusty Hill, those are only special times though.
