The Cottage story … a work in progress. The family cottage on beautiful Lake of the Woods was the brain child of my dad.

Just a fun loving guy who’s interested in technology, passionate about family, and a follower of Christ. The blog started a long time ago when we were family camping and I had an experience with one of my sons that made me realize how fast time is going by, hence the title, Tempus Fugit. I Read More ...

Today was the second ride of the year for me with the FOG cycling club. It went a lot better that the first ride. Today we did the full route of about 95km and I made it a lot farther that the first time before I thought I’d throw up and die on the side Read More …
I’m at the Toronto airport enjoying a little free wi-fi courtesy of Cisco, unlike the Toronto Sheraton who is charging outrageous daily rates for internet access. They should really get with the program. Many lower end hotels all over North America have free wi-fi and yet many of the upscale hotels think they can still Read More …
Classy Bike #2 Originally uploaded by Big Dadoo Being a cyclist, this is a sad thing to see. This bike is locked outside probably some of the most expensive condos in downtown Toronto, right in the harbour front. But gauging from the rust and two flats, this bike has not seen too many miles.km lately.
Booty Camp Originally uploaded by Big Dadoo I’m in Toronto today attending a conference on Monday & Tuesday, so I flew in extra early (6:15am red-eye flight) to enjoy the day. It was sunny and quite warm so I walked along the harbour front, for a very long way. Actually, I walked for most of Read More …
I’m flying to Toronto this morning and twitter seems to be down so I thought a quick post via email would pass some time while waiting for takeoff. Two things. I booked online a week ago and it showed the first 20 rows booked solid. However, ther are only about 30-40 people onboard the Airbus Read More …
I went out on the first FOG ride of the season this morning. Apparently, it was the first ride for almost everyone, as previous attemts had been hanpered by such trivial things as snow and freezing rain and generally nasty conditions. This morning was clear, light winds and a balmy 3°C.so the ride was a Read More …
en route to serving up my blog to twitter via twitterfeed, I succumbed to OpenID. Seems like a great idea and I hope more sites start using this kind of technology. I really have way to many userid/passwords already and anything that will simplify this plus increase security, I’m all for it.
I just checked the FOG site and it seems like rides might have started in March! Hey, I’ve been a sleep at the switch. I think I’ll be out there tomorrow at 10am for my first road ride of the year. Forecast is for mainly sunny and +9, so that should be workable.
Girl at the Dollhouse #1 Originally uploaded by Big Dadoo This weekend was the Home Show in Winnipeg ant I took it in this afternoon. Lots of stuff, and lots of people. I normally skip this show, but there was somebody I knew with a very unique product exhibiting this year. Henry Hiebert is a Read More …
