I'm frequently asked if James is looking forward to Christmas. Back in October when I was constantly asked if James was excited about going trick or treating, I set the record straight. I'm going to do the same thing now with James in regards to Christmas 2003. James is well
I just found a loonie in the bottom of our washing machine after doing a load. It must have been in the pocket of one of Taryn's pairs of pants. Finders, keepers.
I used to have three imaginary friends. They were named Honour, Grrr and Lion and I had no clue they were anything but real. I spent hours with them as a young child. Apparently this is quite normal and even healthy. It's part of a child's imagination that is just
As near perfect as James is, until recently he wasn't the world's greatest sleeper. When bedtime approached, he wanted two things: a bottle of milk and daddy to lie with him while he drifted away. Then, at any time between 3 and 5 in the morning, he would get out

The Offspring's Smash, Greenday's Dookie, The Smashing Pumpkin's Siamese Dream and Pearl Jam's Ten were a few
I want to wish my Grandma Gibbons a very happy 88th birthday. In the year of my Grandmother's birth the RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat killing 1,198 during World War I, Albert Einstein published his theory of general relativity and The Birth of a Nation by
I was recently contacted by a fellow named Dan Boone regarding The Boone DNA Project. The goal of The Boone DNA Project is to build a database that will indicate what members of the Boon/e lines are related and possibly determine the approximate time they began to branch away.
James doesn't have a clue what Halloween is all about. He simply has no grasp of the concept of dressing up and going out for candy. The boy can't even say "Trick or Treat". I can't tell you how many people were surprised we weren't taking him door-to-door this year.
On a fairly regular basis, I visit Google and test where my site comes up when I search for certain keywords. Part of this test is a basic search for the words boon and toronto. I recently uncovered a gem while performing this search. On a website called "Cannabis Culture"
