Here's a trailer for the "What Are You Thankful For?" video I created before (US) Thanksgiving. Full video at AreYouThankful.com. Enjoy.

During the one snow fall this Christmas 2007 before it quickly melted away the next day, my family took advantage of this time to sled down a little neighbourhood hill, along with other families in the area. Lots of fun!

Hi! Anthony wanted to thank the parents and friends that attended his birthday party - and he wanted this video to express his thanks. Simply click the video to play.

(If you only hear audio, or only see video, then please update your flash player here; if the video pauses on you, simply wait for it to buffer and it'll play again on its own)

Enjoy and thanks to you!

It was fun seeing these boys have fun playing football. So much fun that Anthony didn't want to go

I surveyed 10 friends about their favorite and least favorite season of the year. Guess what? Fall & Spring are their favorites. Winter didn't make the cut. Well, there always has to be the one guy who loves them all (you know who you are ) Feel free to comment below about your favorite season, and why. I personally love Spring and Fall. But… I do love the first day of snow. How can one resist playing on the first day of snowfall? I can't. My kids can't. So we bundled up and had fun…

Nov 30th is my birthday. Just turned 32. My family chose to embarass me - which is extremely difficult - at Montana's, where the waiters come around as a group and sing you their custom birthday song, with their renowned 'Moosehead' on your noggin'. Here's what went down…

Sarah and I had planned a getaway - and it so happened to land on Mother's Day weekend. The original plans were to take in a romantic weekend package at Harrisons Hot Springs, which we've enjoyed from past visits.

Then we had a brainchild moment. My sis is backpacking Europe and has her Yaletown apartment available for us to crash. So we opted for that instead.

It's fun playing "tourist" in your own hometown. I betcha a huge percentage of residents in Vancouver prefer to "go away" somewhere, instead of touring Vancouver - even though it has been rated one of the Top 10 desirable places to live in the world. Here's some of the casual fun things we did:

- We jumped on the AquaBus, a water taxi, and our friendly "driver" took this picture of us.

- traveling from Yaletown to Granville Island.

- Sarah hates seafood. I love it. So we had it MY WAY, and I CHOSE to dine at a restaurant that Sarah wanted to go to - which meant no seafood We dined at The Keg Steakhouse Bar. The funny thing is we visited 2 other restaurants before that offered ONLY seafood - the Sandbar and Bridges.

- We split our sides laughing at The Imprentice, an Improv spoof on "The Apprentice" - at the Vancouver TheatreSports League on Granville Island.

- Sarah and I enjoyed tea and desert at the Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar - a chic romantic dining spot, that not only showcased international cuisine, but also the local upscale crowd - or Yuppies, as Sarah and I call them.

That was a short, yet fun and relaxing time in good 'ol Vancouver. I was ready to be Daddy again, and was thrilled to have 2 excited children jump all over us when we returned home.
