109th Surfman Award: Z's by the C : a Public Napping Project

Yesterday in the newspaper, my wife and I read about this wonderful art project that looks at the division between public and private spaces through the intimate act of napping. The project is called Z's by the C (city) Of course after reading about it my wife and I and our 9 week old decided to head over to this grassy space on Lisgar street just south of Queen and decorate a sleeping mask and have a little nap. This project has already visited New York City, Zurich, Ottawa and Calgary and now Toronto, wonder where they will take it next? A special thank you to Eric and Mia for creating this fun and well thought out art project, you both have the stuff of true surfmen!! A little joy has been brought into our city on a cloudy Sunday.

Oh I almost forgot, after our little siesta, we were rewarded with these very cool badges, which my wife referred to as a merit badge, when she gleefully got hers. Spoken like the former girl guide that she was.

108th Surfman Award: My first Father's Day

Two weeks ago today I celebrated my first father's day, and I was extremely proud. My wife and son took me out to brunch and than gave me these fantastic Star Wars pancake molds and a Darth Vader card that says " I am your Father", too cool. It is so great to be a dad, I can't wait to watch Star Wars with my little guy when he is older.
