Picked up Acadia’s citizenship card yesterday at the Canadian embassy. It only took 7 months. Next step is a Passport. Note too that her last name is just Robichaud, not Robichaud Reding. Hopefully, she can pose for her passport picture like this. . . . . . and not like this.
I’ve gained one more digit in binary today. It’ll be another 32 years before I get another and it took 16 to get this one. The fact that 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 = 32 makes 32 a better number than 30 (or 31 for that matter). Interesting note on a … [Read more…]
My buddy Shane decided to stop into Guatemala for 5 days on his way to Belize so I decided to take him and my family to Rabinal for the day yesterday. I had never been there before. Salamá is on the way, so we stopped in and walked around the central park. We got to … [Read more…]
This is the schooner my uncle just bought. My father is visiting him in Australia for the first time since his brother moved there in the early 70’s. They are going to fly up the east coast of Australia, fix up the vessel, then take a couple weeks and sail back down the coast. I’m … [Read more…]
photo by Chad Hipolito/Red Deer Express My mom, Debby, has been involved in Central Alberta Theatre (C.A.T.) for about ten years now.

Last night at the hotel I chatted with a Quebecois working for … [Read more…]
Most number of my family together in years: 9 (Papa, Mom, Sister, Sister, Brother-in-Law, Wife, Son, Daughter, Me). Great to relax, eat, drink, and play with my family in a luxurious and beautiful place for a week. I am truly blessed. Visit number 5 to Tikal for me, visit number 1 for my sister Salomé. … [Read more…]
My secret to having such gorgeous kids: marrying a Wonder Woman. My son is a talking machine. He currently practices conversation skills and inflection. He’s 2 1/2 today. My daughter tuns 9 months today. She’s funny.
Last weekend we drove to Copan, Honduras (again) to show April, my sister-in-law some of the sights. I skipped out on the ruins and took care of Acadia during that time so Amber could spend some quality time with her sister. Then in the afternoon, we headed to the El Jaral waterpark. Yippee!! There were … [Read more…]
This was our Christmas Eve moon. We saw it rise over the mountains as we got home from a Christmas program at church (we left early as it started 1 hour late). We ate some traditional Christmas food (lentil-chicken wraps), opened some gifts from my old school in Spruce Grove, and then watched 2 Wonder … [Read more…]
