Meet the Fockers and the Annual OMNI Party

Well it was only a matter of time before the two families met, and this past weekend The Abrahams met The Harris/Giles/Harvey/Wellses. Yes indeed, it was Kate's and my weekend of Meet the Fockers; her parents and my parents/family. We had a BBQ on the roof top and then we went to the Jays game and to be completely honest, it went really good. The food was yummy, the conversation was good and the weather was perfect, albeit a little too hot at the Jays game. It has been really good to see Kate's parents again (they came to stay with us on June 22nd, left yesterday to see Northern Ontario and will be back on June 29th for a few days) as we only to get to see them once or twice a year. We took them to see the Blue Man Group on Friday and I think Mike and Di thoroughly enjoyed it. They really are great in-laws (and I am not just saying that cause I am sure they might read this!) and they always bring a smile to Kate's face which is a solid bonus for everyone.
Yesterday was the annual OMNI company party and it too went pretty good. Kate and I took Greg and Liz as our dates which was a good buffer from the usual corporate crap. Take a look at the fun photos here.

Back From San Francisco...and a 2 Year Anniversary

(especially when we let hot English girls in)

Well I made it to Vloggercon and back all in one piece...despite almost dying on the flight home. Ok well maybe I exaggerate, but coming into T.O., we were approaching our landing (gliding nicely) when all the sudden, we took off (rather quickly) and a frantic flight attendant says over the PA "Um sorry apparently we cannot land in Toronto, I am sure the captain will make an announcement shortly". I don't know about you, but when it comes to quick, sudden and/or unexpected plane movements, I would prefer if the first thing I heard on the PA wasn't a panicked announcement. As it turns out, there was a plane on the runway we were about to land on, no big deal, we got landed all safe and sound...but I tell you, for that 2 minutes (which seemed like 10) between the panicked F.A and the captain coming on the PA, I just assumed I would never see the ground again (safely). It is really funny the games your brain plays on you when you think something bad is going to happen when realistically you are probably safer than you would ever be walking in rush hour. There are a few pictures of the trip here. Any who, it was great to get home and see Kate again; can you believe as of June 11th she has been in Canada for 2 years? Way to go babe! So, fittingly and ever so romantically, I picked her up a bottle of Tequila from the Duty Free. Nothing says being in Canada like getting retardedly smashed...now if only we could find the time, eh babe? I am supremely looking forward to this weekend, I think we will just sit on the couch and relax. Next weekend Kate's parents are in town (which I am really looking forward to because they are great people) and they get to Meet the Fockers (which I am not really looking forward to, not that I have anything to worry about, just gonna be intense). Anyway, all is well in Abraharrisland...just come on Friday and get here already!

Weekend Wrap with a Couple of Haircuts

Hey all,
What a fun weekend! Friday night consisted of chilling on the couch and having a few bevvies with Kate. After a long week of Call For Helping I thoroughly enjoyed spending some time with my girl. My brother Casey came down on Saturday as we decided to celebrate his birthday one week early (cause I am in San Fran. on his real birthday; June 10). We had a lot of fun, watched Clockwork Orange, and went to the Brunswick House. Let me tell you...how old did we feel? God, we really have gotten to the age where we can no longer go to college bars. Kate got her haircut on Saturday and I think it looks great. And no, this isn't one of those yeah I have to say it looks great things, I truly think it looks wonderful; short hair really suits her. If you don't believe me have a look for yourself. Speaking of short hair, Mike Lynett (my good friend from Ryerson and now my co-worker on Torrent) decided (after a few drinks) that he no longer wanted to have long hair. And me, always the supportive friend, offered to shave his head for him. Here is a before and after shot:
