We have friends in town, and after happy hour, a catching up, and a BBQ, we ended up playing a game of Mousetrap. If you haven’t played it before, it’s a board game where players make an elaborate mousetrap out of various parts, and then the end game centers itself around using said trap to…

One of my favourite things about Americans is their love for pageantry. While it is fair to say that societally, they tilt to the practical in everyday life, they do enjoy a big bash every now again, where nothing is off limit. The crazy event in the calendar this week is the DNC, where Kamala…

Ky and I spent a few hours in the hospital today as she required some tests. It wasn’t what we expected, and at one point there were a few concerns that her otherwise relatively straightforward pregnancy had been derailed. Fortunately, the tests came back and everything is a-ok. Happy mum, happy bub. Being in hospital…

I have joined a Fantasy Premier League tournament, where I am competing against a singular opponent. Despite him being a friend, a former co-founder, and most importantly, a subscriber, he now ranks as a mortal enemy for the next 38 weeks as the season unfolds.

Ky and I were invited to a baby shower this afternoon in Denver. It was quite an honour, as I barely knew the couple, and Ky had only done a few walks with the mum to be. Nevertheless, she must have left an impression. After having my baby shower debut last week, so I kinda…

Our friends recently gave birth to their first child, which is very exciting. To help them out, we joined their meal train. I’ve never been part of one before, but it’s such a great idea. It was our turn this evening, and we choose an oldie but a goodie, the lasagne. There is something about…

Because i Passed-a my driving test. Yes, I didn’t expect that I would have to do it twice, but I learned my lesson, and now I’m good to go. It’s an odd thing, doing a driving test as an adult. I’m not the world’s best driver, but I have never been in an incident, and…

According to Twitter (currently known as X), all is not well down at Google. While the search engine continues to pump out great numbers, the launch of Gemini has been poor, and people continue to moan about YouTube. The company continues to ditch products (some of which are popular); according to this website, they’re almost…
