Stories
Everybody's got a story... Here are a few of ours.
How We Met - A burning bush, a bar, an absent boyfriend... All played a part in Jean and I getting together.
Getting Engaged - Perpetuating the family tradition of getting engaged without really knowing it...
Our Wedding - Our wedding was in July, our honeymoon in September, and our reception in October. We planned the wedding part in two weeks — and it was a church wedding. And before and after our wedding? Well, we went to another wedding.
Alaska: The Bear Story - Close encounters of the ursine kind.
Me and Bob Geldof - Join us on our odyssey to the wilds of Toronto, where we saw Sir Bob Geldof give one of the best live performances ever. (Warning: Many, many expletives within. (Or, just one, really, repeated many times.) And also, live sex.
Give Me Something to Sing About - Adventures in voice lessons
An Ironic Night at the Rock Opera - Under the banner of Canadian Idol, members of Queen make an appearance at Toronto performance of We Will Rock You. I was there, appreciating the irony. When I wasn't screaming like the fan-girl I am.
Roger Daltrey: Use It
or Lose It Tour - A report on his November 5 concert in Orillia, Ontario.
