Anxiety walls and golf balls

November 16, 2012 by Jason

A couple of weeks ago, professional golfer Charlie Beljan suffered a severe panic attack during the second round of the Walt Disney Classic in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. He literally was followed around by paramedics as he tried to get through the round thinking that he was having a heart attack. He … [Read more...]

Instasister!

November 12, 2012 by Jason

I remember specifically when I first heard. I was 14 years old and coming up from my basement bedroom (I loved my basement bedrooms, sneaking in and out while parents slept, having a waterbed and sneaking people in while my parents slept) and my mother and sister were talking about my two other … [Read more...]

Fall into the gap

November 7, 2012 by Jason

I have watched the four-year gap between my boys with curious interest since Tasman was born back in 2006. From the wide-eyed tender touch of a blonde-haired four-year old, scared he was going to break his Buddha bellied brother to today's version where giggles click to punches with one snatched … [Read more...]

We’re talking football. Stylish football

November 4, 2012 by Jason

I played football growing up, both recreationally as a youth at recess and as a junior right offensive tackle for the Northern Red Knights in high school.  In fact, one of the greatest sports memories I have was coming back from a 20-6 halftime deficit to defeat our dreaded rival the North Toronto … [Read more...]

Time delay

October 31, 2012 by Jason

Comparisons to one's own youth make for easy fodder as a person who primarily writes about being a father. Looking back, growing up was neither difficult nor easy for me as a child of divorce.  I was never truly left wanting nor showered with the abundance of my peers. I loved my mother and my … [Read more...]

Strong winds

October 30, 2012 by Jason

So I went to a wedding this past weekend.  It was a friend of Steph's, a fellow designer that has peppered her work past and looked to her as a mentor of sorts.  The bride was young, 25ish, meaning the guests, minus the family, were approximately the same age as her.  Me, being a robust 43 years … [Read more...]

It’s not you Blissdom, it’s me

October 25, 2012 by Jason

I attended Blissdom 2012 last weekend, a social media conference targeted at women. There were approximately 500 women and 5-10 men in attendance, a ratio I was comfortable with initially (bawdy mental high fives and all), but in practicality it was a bit overwhelming. This conference does … [Read more...]

Blogs and Conferences and Women Oh My!

October 19, 2012 by Jason

I think it was around 10-12 years ago I started a blog on blogspot called chunkofunk. It was a secret back then, helping me wade through banality of a job I didn't like and secretly connect with a group of people that for reasons unknown, I still kind of know.  I wrote stories, I wrote open and … [Read more...]

Weekend north

October 16, 2012 by Jason

We had 15 people up north this past weekend, four couples and seven kids all under 10. This was the second weekend in a row of hosting so it has taken its toll both on our culinary creativity as well as our cheque book.  Needless to say, we are taking a break this weekend, laying low with me at … [Read more...]

No longer containing myself

October 12, 2012 by Jason

Ok so my world is not dipped in bright colours of liquid sunshine.  I am an anxious, occasionally nasty lout who will carve a delicate slice of your heart if you let me. I am speaking to you plastic containers spread all over my house.  Some of you are so perfect, always there when I need … [Read more...]
