So got the first stats report on the blog. 32 readers so far spending an average of 2 minutes and 30 seconds on the page. I’m flattered. I haven’t really put it out there yet, they only way anyone would know it existed is through my Facebook page so 32 is probably pretty good. It’s also interesting to see the amount of detail that you can get regarding the visitors to your page. I know what city you are from and how long you spend on the page and in some cases even where you work (someone, for instance, from the CBC was reading the page…I know who you are by the way!) So I can peep you peeping me. I’ll try and keep a running update on the whole stats thing as it develops. In the meantime, if you are a total stranger who just happens to like reading my blog, by all means please do get in touch and let us know how you came to the site.

In other news tomorrow we leave for Florida for a week or so. I won’t be blogging from Florida, primarily because the place we’re staying has no internet access. Otherwise I would blog for sure. I’m not that big a fan of vacations. I like to work and I like to hike and canoe and get away from the world. But beach and sightseeing isn’t my thing. I’m not complaining, I’m just saying that’s my preference. W loves the beach and so does our two year-old and all in all it’s pretty fun making sand castles and collecting shells with a two year-old. Still I’m looking forward to when E is older and we can take the adventure quotient up a notch.

Trying to pack up to go always leads to fighting in my family. This morning in the midst of packing W discovered that I left E’s shoes at the community centre on Saturday. I got yelled at. I’m a bad boy. I would probably have gotten yelled at less if we weren’t going to Florida tomorrow but I think W sees it as my subtle way to sabotage the family holiday. Not true. I’m just forgetful…By the time I got back from dropping E off at daycare and W was heading out to work all was (somewhat) forgiven. Called the community centre to see if they had found the shoes and they said they would look and call me back. They haven’t called back yet, which doesn’t bode well. How long could it take to check and see if anyone turned in a pair of white and pink New Balance sneakers? E wore her brown shoes to daycare today instead.
