    Which is healthier? A

    		B

    My conclusion? They definitely have different tastes but I can’t say one tastes better than the other. We buy A so I am certainly more familiar with it. A has a more pleasant smell than B. A has larger, more regular circles than B. B has better packaging than A. Both were equally satisfying as a meal. B gets my recommendation.

  • No, it’s not about beer

    My wife thinks I’m Canadian eh!

  • Wish Him Well!

    Today Arcite’s Day turns 3! And with that arcite notes:

    This year has seen many blog become cold dark sites in the blogsphere.

    And poses the question "Shall we go on?" Pay arcite a visit today and leave a comment to let him know that his writings and photos are too worthy to be sucked into the void of dead blogs.

    He seeks merely 5 or more comments as his validation.

  • Desire to hide

    I want nothing more than to lie in bed all day holding my wife.

  • Miss those great college conversations?

    Here’s a blog that records converstaions overheard at UWO

  • How high?!

    I’m jumping so much today I don’t think my feet have touched the ground!

  • So why do I grab myself?

    My wife has pointed out that the webcam (as seen in the sidebar to the left) has twice in the past 10 minutes caught me grabbing my crotch. First off, being male that is a perfectly acceptable practice. After we become "self-aware" circa 4-6months old we become obligated to "check our package" frequently for the rest of our lives to ensure that nothing is lost. However I must point out that it is my seat cushion and not my crotch that is being grabbed. I sit on a hard wood chair and have placed a lumpy seat cushion on it that slips throughout the day. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Of course, you have the photographic evidence and are more than welcome to refute my claim.
