So You Think You Can Dance...again


Okay okay.  I'll admit it...I love "So You Think You Can Dance".  

Yes a 35 year old man loves to watch different styles of dance wishing he could master at least one of them (particular hip hop ).  Maybe it's because it reminds me of back in the day when I use to break dance with my crew in grade 5.  Or the joy I receive when I watch my daughter perform an African/Caribbean dance recital.  Or even the pleasure I receive when I watch my young sons (2 and 6) trying to mimic the hiphop flips they just seen on the show.  It could be all those things but it's probably the envy I feel knowing I can't perform latin dance with my wife as flawlessly executed from the great dancers in the show.  Or for at least now...one day my wife and I'll take lessons and master the Tango!!!  For now I will continue to watch and cheer on my favourite dancers.  

And I'll even go as far as to watch them perform live and in person.  Again, this 35 year old man was in tightly packed seats watching (and cheering) his favourite dancers perform moves that he could only wish he could do.  When my wife heard that the top 20 were going to head to Toronto to perform she did not hesitate to purchase tickets for the family and life long friends the Goode's.  Could you believe it was sold out in less than a minute!!!  Not only did we enjoy the show immensely but we even stayed around like crazy fans to get pictures and autographs.  Could you believe the dancers stuck around signing autographs to at least 1:30am.  Props to you dancers!!!

Here are some pics from the night...enjoy.

The Sweetest Thing...


A great dessert created for our anniversary by the awesome members at Roger Mooking's restaurant Kultura

I wont start with cliche line like "it seems like only yesterday" to describe when I first met the love of my life because it isn't simply true.  I met Nicole in high school in 3rd period Geometry class and though the time and our relationship advanced rapidly it was a pace that I enjoyed immensely.  Thank you for inspiring me through the last 16 years of our lives together.  Thank you for our 7 years of marriage together.  Thank you for 4 beautiful children that you gave me.  And thank for your continuous love, support and inspiration.  

To My Favourite Wife...you are still the "Sweetest thing I've ever known..."
