Shepherd’s Pie!
Posted by Brian
I can now add one more item to my cooking repetoire, Shepherd's Pie! Below are some pictures I took of the process. I got that sweet t-shirt from Nadia when she went to Las Vegas.

What to do, What to do
Posted by Brian
With my wife at a bachelorette's party in Las Vegas, I'm left to figure what the heck I'm going to do with myself. Do I go on a Call of Duty 4 binge? Do I down a few beers and fall asleep, hoping it'll make the time go by faster until she's home? Nah... I'm just going to try not to think how I'm going to get past the next few days and take it one day at a time. I might work on a website here and there, play some Call of Duty, read a book, walk around outside, go to the pool, learn a foreign language - I have plenty of options!
At least that's what I'm trying to convince myself. It's hard to do things on your own when you're so used to doing them with someone you love. It sounds corny, I know, but it was just so overwhelming and I wasn't expecting it at all! Anyway - I'll most likely be trying to read away the time this weekend.
Cheers.
What’s Next?

We've stepped out of the caves, discovered how to control fire, and conquered basic civilization. We have forged weapons, and have fought wars. The many things our human race has done is nothing short of extraordinary, yet there is so much left to understand. The more we discover, invent, and quantify, we would like to think the less there is to understand. It seems, unfortunately (or fortunately, if you happen to be an explorer), there are more questions than ever before confronting us.
Earlier this afternoon, NASA announced it had discovered that a supernova 26,000 light years away is approximately 106 years old. I believe there are some people around that are still alive when this supernova was born. Thinking past how significant of a find this is, and what it means for astronomers, I began feeling inspired.
As I walked outside, I looked up and saw a commercial plane high in the sky, carrying several people through the air as it bounded for its destination. I looked to my left and saw a tall building that manages to fit several hundred people, and to my right were markets and clothing outlets. 'How amazing,' I thought to myself, 'that one day, right in this very spot, there was nothing at all. No buildings, no people. Just land.' We have conquered advanced civilization, and the basic understandings of not only our own planet, but our place in the universe as well. We obssesively stare at the night sky, knowing that because we have explored past the mountain in the distance, because we have took to the air in flight, what lies next is the biggest challenge we have ever faced.
The universe. Galaxies, dark matter, black holes, supernovae, and even other planets similar to our own are what await us all, and I could not be more excited. It is woven into the human tapestry: Explore.
Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there!
Nothing else really to post about. 
My Cooking Repertoire
Posted by Brian
At the top of the page, you'll notice a new link titled "Repertoire." (Yes, I had to look up how to spell it correctly.) This page is going to help motivate me in learning new recipes to cook for my wonderful new wife, so that I can further hypnotize her into staying with me forever.
Feel free to laugh at my awful, terrible skills. I'm probably not giving myself enough credit with what I can make, but that's honestly all I can think of right now.
I’m Married!!

The big day was Saturday May 3rd, 2008. Now to commit that date to memory for anniversaries... haha. Nadia and I are both very happy, it was everything we could have asked for (except the weather)! Photos coming soon...
This is also a step in Phase III of Operation Canada, so an update for that is coming soon as well!
