Gord’s 28′ Sailboat
Originally uploaded by pfilias.
I had a great time going on my first sailing outing. Gord, from my old Ford days, asked me to come out this week. We had to postpone Monday due to monsoons! Yesterday turned out to be a gorgeous day. I had a half-day, and arrived in Tecumseh, ON, at a great time to hit the lake.
A couple of Keith’s along the way, and the pineapple/shrimp pizza was delicious!!!

“You have a piece of money by your foot daddy!”
– Benjamin Filias, after seeing a quarter fall out of my pants pocket this morning.
I absolutely love and cherish the little things that Benjamin says.
Other things he’s said that I think are awesome:
“It dos” — instead of “it does”.
“Papa Tone” — instead of “Tone”, my brother’s cat who lives at my parents’ house.
“Be careful daddy!” — when he sees me using things like knives and scissors, because Michelle told him those things are dangerous.

I’ve been extremely absent from blogging as of late, busy with work and real life. I wanted to share a funny picture that really sums up the different between Apple’s new iMac desktop in terms of design as compared to a popular competitor from Dell.
