The lack of washer does suck. But, we did find a laundromat around the corner the serves snacks! How exciting to find a place where you can wash your stuff and get ice cream. The bar next door to this fantastic laundry place was also a great source of entertainment. It was like watching a [...]

The trouble with Samsung.
Published by August 29th, 2006 in Chris and Leah and Complaints. 0 CommentsIn our 3 month old condo we have brand spankin’ new Samsung laundry appliances! (P801DWN & DV4006JW1) Sadly last weekend when we attempted to start a load of laundry, the washer wouldn’t cooperate. At all. I called Samsung and their automated voice mail system connected me to TransGlobe service who were, of course, closed on [...]
Tonight we are heading to The Drake Hotel to celebrate Anna’s end of classes and Danno’s new job. I’ve never been to The Drake, but apparently I should really enjoy it. I’ve been to The Drake, before it was The Drake when it was known as The Stardust Lounge, but I don’t think that the [...]
Last night we were channel surfing and caught the tale end of Lisa Loeb’s “reality” show on TLC. It was at this point that I said to Leah, “She looks super familiar; way more than I remember.”
After anout 10 minutes of watching the show, it hit me! She looks like Leah. I shared this revelation [...]
Little Miss Sunshine…. and some other interesting looking movies….
Published by August 19th, 2006 in Chris and Leah, Goin' Out and Movies. 0 CommentsTonight we saw Little Miss Sunshine. The first 40 minutes were entertaining, but somewhat slow… and I couldn’t really figure out where the movie was going. But then the horn was honked, and the movie really took off. A few unexpected twists, an odd and really funny ending, and a great cast made for an [...]
Yesterday we went to the Elora Conservation Area to go tubing in the gorge. The impetus for this adventure was the celebration of Greg’s 30th Birthday. (Greg is one of Leah’s friends from grade nine math!)
A few years back, possibly as many as five, was the last time this bunch went tubing, and for one [...]
After many years of searching, Leah finally found her Tinkerbell Mug! I’m starting to get a little concerned that our condo is going to become Never Never Land as we’ve got one Tinkerbell Hallmark ornament, another is on its way, and now this mug.
PS: If you’ve got a mug like this, let me know as [...]
Who needs ‘Sideways’ when we’ve got Niagara?
Published by August 7th, 2006 in Chris and Leah, Food & Wine and Travel. 0 CommentsToday Leah and I headed to Niagara-On-The-Lake to visit a few wineries. We started at Reif Estates and took in a quick winery tour and some sampling. The samples were so good that we picked up two bottles (2004 Gamay Noir & 2004 Vidal Icewine). We could’ve spent a lot more time (and money) at [...]
