At the beach this weekend, Dawson got some help from Sandy digging a giant hole in the sand. I’m quite sure Sandy thought that Dawson was helping dig her a new den in which to bury sticks and tennis balls.

Is that the least appealing headline ever?  Open House at the Cement Factory.  And yet, strange as it sounds, it was a huge hit with the kids.  Down at Granville Island, Ocean Cement opened up their lot and let kids climb into all the cement mixers, get free balloons, and play in a giant sand pile.  Wheeeee!

It’s true.  I discovered the sad, ugly truth this weekend.  The Maggot has been playing games behind my back… with several of my closest friends.  And all of it has been cloaked under a veil of secrecy, designed to keep me in the dark.

This is the man at the epicenter of it all: Clax Vandle (not his real name - more on that in a minute…)

I USED to consider him one of my best friends.  You see, I was under the impression that Clax hated and despised Facebook and had decided to never join.  However, due to several factors (including alcohol), it came to my attention this weekend that he is indeed on Facebook using the pseudonym of ‘Clax Vandle’ in place of his real name (which will now remain anonymous).

THEN I found out that he has been ‘friends’ with my wife on Facebook for almost a month… as ‘Clax.’

And THEN I found out that the two of them have been playing Scrabulous games online since he joined!!!  (AND my wife only invited me to play Scrabulous last week!!!)  THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

And THEN I discovered that my wife has been playing Scrabulous with several of my other friends, none of whom have ever invited ME to play Scrabulous.  THIS IS A DOUBLE OUTRAGE!

You think you know someone and then they stab you in the heart with a virtual scrabble tile.  My wife is a Facebook floozie.  A two-timing social networking tart.

And I am a cuckold.  A Scrabulous-ed, Facebooked, friendless cuckold.

After looking at Dawson today while playing toy cars with him, I quite randomly decided to give him a haircut.  Lisa’s given him his only two previous haircuts, as he’s been freaked out by barbers, hair salons, etc, every time he’s gone near one.  However, Lisa was not home, I was bored, and I just did it.
Bad call.  I had no idea what I was doing and now he looks like Jim Carrey from Dumb & Dumber.

April 18, 2008 - Vancouver.  Hail followed by several inches of snow.  (see the blossoms on the tree in the background?) WTF?

After about a month of wiggling, jiggling, pulling and yanking, one of Cedar’s top front teeth fell out this week. The other one is not far behind, so soon she’ll probably have enormous difficulty eating apples and carrots.  Good thing she’s not a horse.
