“Wait” the Menace waved his hands before our meal commenced. “We have to do gratitude!” We use gratitude as an adjective and I have tried to communicate a lot of fundamental things by incorporating it into our sometimes hellish meals (which now seem to help.) However that day he called me out. I obediently put down […]

The Ginger Menace certainly lived up to his reputation this summer. Labour Day weekend he was mad at me because I would not let him put Pokemon Go on my phone (cringe). I made a well thought out argument and remained firm. I thought the conversation was over and I took out the garbage. When I came back […]

Peoples stories fascinate me, but there is one story that I never knew until 2009 when I reconnected with Laura my biological mom. While visiting her house for the first time I got an opportunity to reflect on the things that make storytelling a vital act of self expression. As I am on the verge […]

There are a number of phrases that The Menace has taken on, that I love. Like during his Peter Pan phase when everything was “mom, it’s a booby trap!” My heart skips a beat every time he randomly says “I love you mom” but I am inclined to be proud of myself when he says […]

The same way I birthed my little superhero over a 42hr period, similarly I brought forth this bawling, dirty mouthed being and wrote my blog The High Flying Adventures of Captain Grief! The Menace is not too pleased. When she […]

Roseneath Theatre is at it again. And when I say at it I mean putting on another fantastic production aimed at kids, but this time conquering bullying and homophobia. I am proud to say that after a successful integration of the concept of money, particularly after taking The Ginger Menace to see The Money Tree […]

When The Ginger Menace and I rolled up to The Roseneath Theatre I was not sure what to expect, therefore I was blown away by the scene we were greeted with. The folks at Roseneath sure know how to put on a kid friendly party! First we were met by a wide variety of items for the […]

I don’t often win, but when I do I consider it a triumph. The challenge; trying to gently make my child understand that he has to share even with me, balanced with my need to keep the peace and enjoy the payoff, which is an enjoyable evening. The occasion; movie night. I often contemplate the fact […]

One of the things I was worried about before I became a parent was the areas where I lacked knowledge and ability. My wife said to me “don’t worry, I’ll do math and science and you’ll do English!” So I took a deep breath and put that worry aside. Since she passed away, part of […]
