Hey, it's Tito!

We took the kids to Pinafore Park today. Along the fenceline of the park there was this deer that I guess is pretty much house trained - named Tito by the locals - and it would come right up and lick all the kids hands...mmmm, deer spit. Anyways, it was a beautiful day.

It is a beautiful spring day...finally...it is supposed to be up to 20º by the weekend...sweet justice!

Our trip to Niagara this weekend reminded me of some good times there. Going through my archives I found this picture from Sean's wedding last year. I love the semi terrified look on Sean's face. Good times! WOO WOO!

On the brink

I had a summer job at the IMAX theatre in Niagara and I remember the story told in the movie about the young boy who was swept up and sent over the edge with just a life vest on...and lived.

Although I grew up there, I always find it a humbling experience to stand at the brink of this mighty wonder as you realize your insignificance in comparison to it's power.

Listening to: "Dashboard" - Modest Mouse

The weight of water

We took a drive down to the Falls after visiting my parents and Kyle today. It was amazing to see the ice formed from the mist on everything stationary nearby.
