This weekend the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrated their first wedding anniversary.
For those not monarchy, that’s Will and Kate.
Don’t worry I didn’t get them anything either!
Completely forgot, not even a card!!
We’ve all had anniversaries but have you ever wondered how the Royal’s celebrate theirs?
I bet Will ain’t running around last minute looking for a card and some posies!
Bet he’s not doing the family diner at Swiss Chalet!
He’d have a staff look after everything from the gift to the reservations.
Hell even us guys could pull off a great night if we had a staff and family credit card!
Maybe it wasn’t a night at the theatre, posh restaurant, or swanky schmooze?
Maybe they curled up on the couch and watched a movie? You know they must have great cable!
How ever they did celebrate one thing is certain…
There must be a commemorative plate and salt & pepper shakers to mark the occasion…
I’m Scott Thompson.

Last night we loaded up the mini van with kids and went to Copp’s Coliseum to see the latest production from Cirque du Soleil, Dralion. (Running through Sunday @ Copp’s)
If you have never seen a Cirque production you really should take the opportunity to see this world class show in our own backyard.
It’s described as ‘A harmonious blend of Eastern and Western acrobatic prowess’ with really tight costumes, I might add!
It’s a night of spectacular acrobatics, dazzling costumes, live music, colour and comedy.
My 10 year old loved it and I was concerned my 5 year old, who has the attention span of a nat, would be climbing the walls after a two plus hour performance.
Quite the opposite both were glued to the edge of their seat with saucer round eyes.
Quite frankly with people flying all over the place, how could you not.
We are very lucky to have a facility and city to host these global spectacles.
Bravo Cirque du Soleil!
Finally something positive coming out of Quebec the rest of Canada can be proud of!
I’m Scott Thompson.

My new glasses finally arrived; it was a big day at the Thompson household, for me anyway.
After having the same glasses for four years, the glasses people keep track of these things; I finally decided it was time to get my eyes checked.
So on a blustery day before Christmas I went to my optometrist
Low and behold I needed a new pair, as if reading at an extended arms length while wearing glasses, wasn’t a large enough clue.
Finally this past week I got the prescription filled and picked up the new pair. Yes over 4 months later.
What can I say, I have kids!...
Speaking of them, I took them with me to pick up the new pair.
Inside, Kurtis wanted to know if the mints were free and Alicia thought my new glasses were girls.
But at least she noticed.
Unlike her mother who never said a word even after I commented on ‘her’ new hair do while I was wearing them!...
Every so often Daddy wins one, even if it hurts!
I’m Scott Thompson.

There will be no election in Ontario this spring. Awwww!
As Ontarians, we may find ourselves going through election withdrawal this summer, shaking and sweating in the fetal position dreaming of the next campaign.
Seems the Liberals and NDP have saved us all by agreeing on taxing the rich, those 1% bastards, rather then succumb to another election.
Oh thank the bubbling heavens of above!
Andrea Horwath and Mcguinty battled it out like the Hulk and Haystack Calhoon and with every bit of conviction.
But after a stiff sleeper hold McGuinty finally fainted in Horwaths arms and said uncle.
By the way, where was Stompin’ Tim Hudak in this smack down!?
By throwing in the towel before the budget was even released he sort of took himself out of the fight, and media attention, from the first bell.
No flailing fists, no folding chairs across the back of the head,,,nothing.
Even though McGuinty still holds the belt, I think Horwath won the round.
But let’s not forget, like wrestling, politics is fake.

This past weekend my wife and I along with some friends celebrated our wedding anniversaries in Buffalo.
Why not?
So the following are my obvious observations after spending 24 hours in Buffalo.
Here we go…
Big food! Bigger citizens! Better cable!
Their toll roads cost $1. Ours can cost a tank of gas.
Ugly stop lights! They look like recycled steel piñatas hanging from the sky!
Timmy’s vs. Dunkin Donuts… Timmy’s is winning!
Heavy industry & outlet malls vs. nice bridges and water.
Lots of places to buy liquor and perfume, Target rivals Wal-Mart!
U.S customs officers are nicer than Canadian.
Best about Buffalo?
Cheap beer! How come 24 Coors Lite here is over $35, yet there you can 30 for $20?
That’s at least $15 cheaper and you get another 6 pack!
God bless the USA!!!

Today my wife and I celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary.
I know that really doesn’t mean anything to you unless of course your anniversary is tomorrow and I just reminded you.
Then I’m a life saver!
It was 12 years ago today my wife and I, along with a secret contingent, were in Negril Jamaica for the special occasion.
At 5:27 in the afternoon, on the beach, as the sun was setting over the ocean we tied the knot.
It was the best thing I ever did, although to look back at the video as we did with the kids last night, you wouldn’t know it!
I looked scared to death!
Like I was on the bridge of the Titanic full speed ahead into an iceberg, meanwhile my wife’s acting like it was New Years Eve.
What’s with that?
Whys does the groom always look like a zombie in every wedding video?
I’ll leave that answer up to you. I want relations tonight!
I’m Scott Thompson.

Dick Clark has died at age 82.
For those who don’t know, Dick Clark hosted American Bandstand starting in the 1950’s and continuing to the end of the 80’s.
He was responsible for bringing Rock n’ Roll music to the mainstream when the parents and the state didn’t want any part of it.
Soon after Ed Sullivan was showing Elvis from the waist up, Dick had teens twisting in front of the TV after school.
He was also instrumental in exposing black acts to a white audience at a time when segregation and civil rights were an issue.
Soon after came New Years Rockin’ Eve and host of his own game shows, then producing award shows, movies, and TV specials.
He also takes credit for introducing Johnny Carson to Ed McMahon.
Some, mistakenly, compare Clark to a modern day Carson Daily or Ryan Seacrest. They are hosts of other people’s shows.
Dick was the show. Writer, booker, producer, promoter, visionary and host.
On his contribution to American culture Clark once said, “I don’t make culture, I sell it.”
That and, “It’s got a good beat and it’s easy to dance to!”

Some may say they have now ‘seen everything’, others may ask, ’what took so long?’
The Timmy app is out! Called TimmyRun and why not because, that‘s what everyone calls it!
No more running around work collecting orders and offers.
The TimmyRun is exactly what you think it should be.
It’s an app for your smart phone that allows you to keep a list of favourites to buy their favourites from Tim’s.
You can find out when someone is doing a run or let your peeps in on when you are.
No need to ask how they take it, all the pertinent info is there.
Obviously a nice little ad on for those of you already sporting the mug, have the coffee at home for when not in the driv thru and know the lunch menu by heart.
Pretty soon you'll just have to hold your device to your head and go ‘donut’ and it will land right in your pants.
That way as it’s deducted from your back account, it’s applied directly to your belly and thighs.
MMmmm.
I’m Scott Thompson.

Sunshine and 25!? No it’s not Miami or even Negril Jamaica.
It’s yesterday in the Hammer.
What happened?
We could ask the weather people but who cares?
It didn’t matter winds were so gusty small children, dogs and the elderly were whisked away with out warning.
We haven’t basked in temperatures this warm since,,,,,the second week of March.
We were spoiled back then thinking not only were we in for a warm summer but an early one at that.
The afternoon sun filled patios and vacated work places early for a Monday.
The forecast said nothing about 25 degree temperatures this week.
In fact the highest is 17 on Wednesday.
So until the real summer arrives, you’ll just have to dream about last March break, in the Hammer.
I’m Scott Thompson.

Are you Titaniced out?
Have you heard enough about the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic?
Hey I’m all for remembering and paying tribute to history but its not like we don’t know what happened here.
Over the last several weeks we have seen the re-launch of the James Cameron movie in 3-D to cruises that re-trace the path of the ill fated liner, except the last part of course.
There were memorials at the site of sinking; the port she left from, the port she was supposed to arrive at, and in Halifax where many were recovered.
There were dinners that served the last meal on board to film festivals that documented the stories told.
There were even séances to try to contact those who perished.
The only thing that has been left to the imagination is what it must have really been like that night to climb over a cold railing and into a lifeboat, if you were so fortunate.
Or to be left behind to slip into the frigid Atlantic in the middle of the night.
Screaming one minute, silence the next.
If we’re lucky, we’ll never know.
I’m Scott Thompson.

Enough about Me. What about you??? |
The great thing about blogging is it gives me the opportunity to interact with people one on one while the rest watch. It seems people have more to say when you can't see them. I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
This blog will cover everything from everyday life to world issues. From NASCAR to politics. However we ain't splitting the atom here. The most important thing is hearing from YOU! |
