Papa lasagna

June 12, 2013 by Jason 5 Comments

This is the first of my two part post on Father’s Day, aptly split between commentary about my father and being a father. What do you get for the man who has everything on Father’s Day? Now he would probably debate whether or not he has everything, but materially, my dad has never been one to … [Read more...]

Teacher teacher

June 10, 2013 by Jason 2 Comments

So with summer break quickly approaching and fully mapped out for our boys, we are now entering the dog days of the school year, the slide the movie in the dvd player and let the kids fidget until they simply can't fidget no more. It was an interesting school year for our boys. Tasman fully … [Read more...]

Love you more

June 4, 2013 by Jason Leave a Comment

Yes, I love both my boys equally.  Yes, I appreciate their uniqueness, the different way they process information and the different way the express themselves emotionally.  Yes, I recognize that their ages are reflective of their current attitudes towards authority. I get all that but right now, … [Read more...]

Riding it out

May 30, 2013 by Jason 4 Comments

My wife and are in one of those cycles where we barely see each other. It is like I am always just  waking up and she is always just coming to bed. We are tagging off like behemoth wrestlers, ready to get in the ring with our two boys and their very real needs and desires. I often wonder how that … [Read more...]

Blubber

May 28, 2013 by Jason 4 Comments

A year ago I was put under the knife (again) to have my lap band adjusted due to slippage.  For those who are not familiar with gastric band surgery, I basically have an adjustable elastic band tied around the top of my stomach to fake my body into thinking it is full. Not really faking it because … [Read more...]

Had me a blast

May 22, 2013 by Jason 1 Comment

While winter in Toronto seems agonizingly long, every time I blink I find the spring months passing by and the summer quickly approaching. Summer planning for our boys is trying to find the balance between organized activities, the peppering of do nothing weeks, where they can ride bikes, catch bugs … [Read more...]

Family matters

May 21, 2013 by Jason Leave a Comment

We had a great weekend, so busy but by far the best part was the opportunity to spend the majority of the weekend with my extended family at our cottage.  14 people and five dogs made for a lot of laughs, lots of great food and the appropriate amount of accompanying wine and beer (and maybe a scotch … [Read more...]

Don’t ask, tell

May 14, 2013 by Jason 2 Comments

My role as a professional communicator obviously comes into play in my personal life.  My wife hates it when I try to think strategically about how we are going to address a conversation with our children or even worse, when I try to influence the way she is trying to frame a discussion or argument … [Read more...]

Freedom, glorious freedom!

May 10, 2013 by Jason 3 Comments

Early on in my parenting career, when I was filled with hope and promise and not covered in jam, I promised myself that I would not forget what it was like to be a kid so I could relate better to my kids. I figured it would more come into play in the teenage years where the clandestine becomes more … [Read more...]

No comparison

May 7, 2013 by Jason Leave a Comment

Tasman scored his first soccer goal last night.  It was purposeful gain of the ball, cutting to the centre of the field in front of the goal and blasting a left footer in the top corner.  The keeper never had a chance. He bounded toward me like he just scored the game winner in the World Cup Final.  … [Read more...]
