Halloween
It’s a spooky time of the year, and tonight was the big event. Well, not that big. We went to visit friends, enjoy some chili, and catchup. Ky, Occi and I of course had to dress up; we came as Linguine, Collette, and Remy from my all time favourite movie, Ratatouille. A fun time had…

Belt
I have two belts, but neither of them are very nice. One I only got a few months ago, but it had already begun falling apart a few weeks after purchase. The other one was a little large (I’ve lost a bit of weight) and it’s looking a bit tired. I didn’t like it. Today,…

A crazy stat
I like restaurants. Cheap Asian joints. Open air French Brasseries. Fine dining. I love them all. I even like learning about restaurants. Like many who enjoy cooking, I devoured Anthony Bourdain’s debut effort, Kitchen Confidential, then read his cook book from Les Halles. Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares is a guilty pleasure of mine. But it…

Hitting the goals
My Apple Watch tracks my movements, steps, and calories and more. It’s a great motivator. Which is why I just finished a 10 minute walk at 11pm in negative temps. Gotta close those wheels.

New Gym

Geared up
We picked up our skis for the season this weekend. After skipping last year, I can’t wait to get back up there. When asked, I knew exactly what I wanted: the same as last time. Comfy boots, great skis, straight poles. And that’s what I got, literally. The boots I have sitting upstairs are the…

Robbed!
On Friday morning, we were robbed. No cause for alarm, but it is unsettling. We have a weekly milk subscription. It’s great quality, costs a dollar or so more, and it’s fun to have a “milkman”. This week, we thought we would roll into the weekend with a pack of snags as well. Anyway, Friday…

Boo in the zoo
Ky and I went to the zoo after work today. With Halloween around the corner, it was themed; spooky style! Going to the zoo after twilight, and with kids, is a blast. Occi loves the animals, and Denver Zoo has a great range. If I had to guess, her favourite animal was the cassowary, but…

Date Night
It’s always a blast. Every fortnight, we just do something for the two of us. Tonight was a gym session together, followed by Asian food. A $100 a week investment into our relationship is the best ROI we could ever imagine.

Le Heist
There has been a grand robbery in the Louvre. Sacre Bleu! It’s one of those breakthrough stories that has everyone interested; similar in a way to the missing submarine a few years ago Three things that have caught my attention:
