Some of you don’t know this but I was supposed to go to Michigan for an all day meeting on Wednesday (tomorrow) so before going to work today I packed my double overnight bag because I would be leaving the U.S. Thursday morning, back to the office where my car would be parked and return home Thursday evening, about the same time as a normal work day. Prior to the trip Sherry and I discussed our options and with strong encouragement from John we agreed to let him stay home alone. To make a long boring blog story shorter the meeting was cancelled, so here I am at home unannounced. A perfect opportunity to test the boy, its 6:20 and John just came in the house with my bike. After school he rode down to Bay Front Park even though he knows how much I hate when he rides at night. Oh I could just kill him!!! …and his guitar was in the bathroom, he never leaves his guitar in there when I’m at home. Awww, what’s the matter with kids today?

It’s interesting how the group I work with (including Karl it’s like he has a cubicle two over from me) were so excited with the thought of me arriving home unexpected and the speculation of what I might find. Yet again, ive got nothing… thanks John for ruining my blog. I love you.


If you were paying attention you might have noticed I mentioned Home Alone and “what’s the matter with kids today” that makes it a movie theme and since its near Christmas… My favourite Christmas movies of all time are It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol (black and white 1951 version) and the uncensored National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

What's your favourite Christmas movie?
