Never-mind street hockey posts

While BBQ ing the chicken to go with the asparagus (and rice and corn and salad) I saw a bald faced hornet take down a wasp there was a fight on the dirt in the garden by the low bush blueberry plant (northland blueberry)... At first i thought they were mating... but then as i got closer (in panic i might take a sting range) i noticed that the bald faced hornet was giving the stings while the other wasp's pulsing abdomen was shooting blanks... then the hornet flew away with its prize... next thing you know i see an coopers hawk in the pine tree eyeballing the birds next door. dinner time all around

never too old for a good time



Did Mule Hughes score?

Notice how his eyes depict a fake... or did the ball deflect off of SR's pads?





Peter Lolley, ace photographer, took these on the weekend... i am steaming asparagus right now... i remember my father's asparagus patch and how it met demise due to my sporting events as a child... and then i was reminded. i grew up in a yard where you could hit a home run into the garden and be rounding 3rd base by the time you heard "Heey Maaaark... watch my garden... why don't you go play in the park, or better yet ther back stoop needs to be painted how would you like to do that!".

an here i am in Vancouver 2007 most people can't afford a 200 square foot box.. perhaps another example on how the decline of childhood should guartantee a stranger society.

road hockey ever other weekend in east Vancouver... don't miss.

Amazing how good camera equiptment is... like i mean those balls were being rifled... i guess however that what you are seeing is a rebound from a scintilating save, so, it makes sence.

another thing i'll never understand

why do people say "you don't need screens in vancouver"?

remind me to tell you about the Super fruit-fly trap... and then remind me to finish writing Drosophila melanogaster the song.

mostly it's the shit flies and the odd mosquito that would be kept out which in turn could cut down on vigorous swinging accidents.. and then of course you get a bald faced hornet or a yellow jacket wasp or one of those paper wasps with the thin abdomen... so you can relax with a wasp in the room with you right? Sure sure... as Magus once said although he said it to our roommate who had a twin brother who was gay and he was trying to tell magnus that his brother wasn't really gay but just experimenting.

So the guy who built this house has screens for the windows but he didn't include them because as i believe it that they are not included in the warranty. Typical humanity... some hammerhead buys a house and knocks a hole in his screen and then bitches at the developer to get a new screen and then the developer decides to never include screens in a house again even though the windows come with screens... he would rather store them in a storage space somewhere because of the headache of giving them to the person who bought the house and the windows. which reminds me to call with another reminder.

He will give me the screens because i understand that if i fuck them then it aint his problem.

but still the majority of people that i meet say you don't need screens in vancouver. Sure sure... if you are in Muskoka in june without screens then you will be eaten alive my mosquitos and black flies if you lack screens, and yes that won't happen in Vancouver... a mosquito just flew by... perhaps it is carrying dengue fever?

ahh yes the comfort of a fine one in a million paranoia

i want my screens

holy Cow

so here i am clicking keys and rocking 1 baby with my foot... How will i survive the next few years? I guess the answer lies in attitude... and some hammerhead CTI capitol just called for rammone robertson... stay focused don't blow a fuse it is too early in the day to go down with an aneurism. Interesting keeping the rhythm of typing with the rhythm of rocking baby in a bouncy seat.

So i guess i lost all my links with that "ad sense" fiasco... not that it was a fiasco in truth, but rather in principle.

Perhaps this should be now the super robertson child rearing blog? Perhaps it could get me away from the negativity i find with respect to business although i doubt it as it is business that is ruining the planet that my fine children will have to live in. Probably not a good idea to go into the automated air control that is happening in canada now... it tells you if it is safe to go outside and breath... but as Harper say's "we are not going to harm the economy".

So babies are funny... i call ours the Grunter-son's due to their auditory projections. With CT in the shower and the Grunter-son's by my side i click away at nothing in particular. Child rearing tip... don't always carry your baby around as they will come to expect it every time they can lie on the sopha and hang with you just fine. Our daycare lady told us that one.. you see she was running a daycare and had a child... they said how will you do it... she got into the habit of not always carrying him around and he was fine... not to say that you don't want to hold them but some babies will only sleep in your arms and when you put them down they cry. this can become problematic for getting things done... well Hailie is up now so i have 1 baby in arm i at feet so clicking must end.
