Our first time in Amsterdam. This is the extent of our visit here, so I have no choice but to rate the scenery a 2 out of 5.

On our way to Ireland today.

In a last-minute move, I spent the kids inheritance on some classic Toronto St Pats jerseys. Watch for us in the Dublin St Patrick's day!

North America. Try to behave while I am gone, please.

Growing up in Toronto, fond memories, I ate Jamaican Patties for lunch more than I should admit. A few years ago, I took my chefs pack for a trip to Toronto, and our first stop was Kensington market patties. Smiles all around.
In 1985, the Patty Wars began in Toronto.
It was fought over a Jamaican pastry that was growing in popularity in the city, and the pressure from hamburger merchants to not call it a beef patty.
Let's learn more about when Jamaican Patties and the Patty Wars!

This is me and Akvavit from that one night with the Finland ski jumping team in Kananaskis so I'm good if we want to get in a dust-up with Scandinavia.

Thanks John. This is my annual reminder to check our grab and go bags.....and fuel my nightmares.
325 years ago tonight (9 p.m. Jan. 26, 1700) a M~9 Cascadia subduction earthquake rocked the west coast from #VancouverIsland to northern California. The Juan de Fuca Plate slipped up to 20 m, causing a large tsunami, strong shaking and landslides
