Peter Goon - private eye

These are good memories, that I am so glad to have back! In the Mid 80's my friend Bruce myself and a bunch of other friends got together and made some home movies. This was one of the best. Peter Goon (a goof on Peter Gunn) was lifted from an old Archie comic in which Jughead bumps his head and believes he is a Private Eye. The equipment was pretty good for the 1980's but of course it doesn't compair to the digital vid cams and computer editing available today. Its funny, sweet, embarrassing and even a little exciting. Thanks to Bruce for putting it up on his site! This really made my day, I hope you enjoy it too!




^^^Now showing: Peter Goon Enjoy!^^^

Hat Trick ~ who doesn't love Hockey?

Playing the Waiting Game

Okay so I have been watching this overhanging snow, on my roof right in front of our door, for about a week and it won't fall! In fact it has gotten smaller. Where is the fun in a snow drift on your roof, if it won't fall on someones head?

On an up note I made contact with my old school friend Bruce on facebook. Its cool to catch up a bit, and see how much we have changed/stayed the same. (He looks exactly the same and I look old and gray.) He put up some pics to look at of us when we were young and crazy! Maybe I will link to some stuff later, (we had a band so perhaps some 80's style original tunes) it should be fun!

President Barack Obama

Today we are witnessing history as our neighbours to the south Inaugurate their first Black President. The level of patriotism in the United States has always impressed me, look at the size of the crowd in the picture below. They are estimating more that 2,000,000 men, women and children have turned out for this historic event.

Congratulations Mr. Obama.

I'm Back ...

Wow, have I been sick. In fact my son, daughter, wife and I have been down and out with the stomach flu. Not much good to say about it, except that 3 of us are starting to feel better. My wife Nancy is still feeling crappy but hopefully she will be on the mend soon. It seems like ages since I have posted anything and I don't have any pictures (trust me you wouldn't have wanted to see or smell us for the past week, LOL) I am pretty sure we all lost some weight so that is sort of a plus.
I kind of miss work, or at least the people I work with. It sucks being shut in the house so long. Anyway here are some old pictures to bring a smile to your/my face.

^^^Me as a little guy (on the right) The guy on my left is my friend Len who passed away a couple of years ago.


^^^Princess Madison on her Royal throne not sure when that pic was taken.

^^^Dennis Quaid as Indiana Jones (Lousy Photoshop chop done by me a while back) Trust me (lol) if they make another Indy movie this guy has to play the part. They look so similar and he is a great actor. Anyone else would be just wrong and Harrison Ford is too old now. Don't get me wrong Harry is great but he is just a little bit past it.

Oh an I just thought of a great reason to be alive (and well) LOST is coming back! YAY.
Here is the countdown for my fellow Losties!

Back to School

Well, it has been great but today the kids are back to school. I am always amazed by my kids. When I was young I dreaded going back to school after a long break (heck I dreaded going to school after the weekend was over). But my kids couldn't wait to get back. I don't know whether that means they are smarter than I was (probably) or is it just that they the teachers have made school more enjoyable to encourage the kids to want to go? (hopefully).
Either way my two girls were excited to get back and see their friends and teachers so I am happy.
Its so great to see them enjoying school and not getting worried and having stomach aches the way I used to.
Way to go Madison and Sydney!
