Tonight while cleaning out the basement of the house I grew up in, it occured to me that most kids these days wouldn’t recognize the media formats of old that I was coming across.

This past weekend, Molly and I were camping at Balsam Lake on site 489, which is a site that I’ve been to MANY times over the years with my friends as it is a favourite. Yesterday, I took the next major step in my life, and made the site even more meaningful to me: I asked Molly to marry me! More importantly, she said YES!!

Update (2009-07-08): Thanks to everyone for your well-wishes, your support, your encouragement, and also your surprise that Molly said “Yes!” when I asked her to marry me! It is most appreciated! 

Every year, during the first warm summer thunderstorm, I’ll stand out in the rain and get drenched. It’s something of a ritual for me. The only downside is that the air conditioning is usually on when I come back inside. Still, I love it. Even in the city, I find it refreshing.

So, our shredder is acting up, as it will only run in reverse instead of forward. On top of it all, it seems that he’s been drinking! That explains a lot! I cleaned up the mess, but I’ll need a longer screwdriver to take him apart and try to figure out what is wrong.

Watching the Jays play against the Kansas City Royals. Never knew that Kansas City had a baseball team, but then again, I don’t really pay attention to this sport. Fun to come and watch it at the stadium though! Well, except when the dunderheads sitting infront of us won’t stop heckling Bloomqust… but it is sometimes amusing. Still, tempted to “accidentally” pour some of my water on them.

Thanks Perry for the tickets, and thanks to both Perry and Alison for the beer ad burgers prior to the game!
