I spoke too soon

It’s not over. There will be another yellow wiggle.

Who in their right mind works as an understudy to a wiggle anyway?

I don’t know who they are, but I’m glad its over

Apparently the lead singer of The Wiggles has left the band due to an illness called othostatic intolerance.

As much as I don’t like to gloat over another’s misfortune or ill health, I’m pretty happy knowing there is one less group of goofballs out there who wear different colour t-shirts and sing crappy kids songs for a living.

Besides the world is a much better place now that AC/DC will be back on top as Australia’s top-earning entertainers next year.

That guilty feeling

After finding out the train was down last night, Doug and I headed for the bar.

In the past, I probably would have hung out guilt-free for a couple of hours after calling Momma J to tell her I was stranded. Now, knowing that I’m needed at home for the evening shift, I found myself continually looking at my watch wondering how I was going to get home by eight.

I don’t think Doug noticed too much because he was itching to get to a band practice, which amazingly all of the members made in the end. But I found it odd to have my mind occupied by the weight of responsbility to my family.

For some I think this feeling is a burden, and they find themselves thinking of the good old days. But I can truly say I love coming home to them both. When I walk in the door, I usually rush over to grab the little fella’s big cheeks, which always makes him smile and laugh.

In the end, things turned out fine last night and I was at home in my PJs by 7:30. By 9 me and the little guy had passed out in the living room. And when he woke me up at 11:30 with his feeding whine, I promptly handed him over to his ma and hit the sack, leaving the blog for another day.

Home life may not be too exciting right now, but I love it just the same. I wonder if I’ll be singing the same tune when he is teething in four months.

Moving on to other things

On the way to work this morning the SkyTrain apologized to everyone for the crappy service it had provided its customers this week.

Like any good father, I can forgive and forget. But before I do, I want suggest SkyTrain’s CEO Doug Kelsey watch this clip to really understand how we all felt this week.

Thanks for the clip Beckstar. I’d be a duller nerd dad with out your blog.

No train, no blog

The trains were down last night, hence no post.

So today it’s just some admin work. I’ve joined technorati: <a
