Checking Out The CNE

I went to the CNE with my (now departed) grandfather 20 years ago as a child. I had a great time with him until I accidentaly walked into the girls bathroom (no sign on doors, attendants were taking a break, nobody was in there). I was in a stall when WOMEN walked in and as a 9 year old... I was SCARED lol. I got my nerve, walked out the back door of the bathroom right out of the CNE and no, they wouldn't let me back in so my grandpa looked everywhere for me thinking i'd been kidnapped.

In reading your article John I realise that all of this blogging, all of your online ventures.... who cares about money. The real value in it is being able to spend lots of time with your daughter/family. Congrats John, you're a lucky man.

Gosh your little girl is so cute! You look like a proud Dad.

I'm from New Brunswick and our fair is the ANE (Atlantic National Exhibition) :) I used to love it when I was a kid!

Looks like you and your daughter are on the wrong slide John. Blue is for boys, pink is for girls. The kid rules on kid rides.

This is the dot com lifestyle John has been enjoying for long time... really admire him :twisted: :twisted:

John, you are a good father. Great to see that you can have time with your family the same time that you are building your business :mrgreen: !

haha just read how your site says "The miscelanious ramblings of a dot com mogul"...they are definately miscelanous. Sometimes I find it hard to work out what your blog is about. Is it about money or just about your life?

That Vitamix blender rocks, I have one. When I can't think of what to eat/drink. I just throw random fruits, juice, and ice into there and blend away :)

I was there less than an hour ago. It's totally packed! You cant walk from the princess gates to the food building in under half an hour. Your video seems very empty compared to how it is right now. Wait until the second last day....

BTW, what hotel are you staying at?

CNE is good every once in a while, can't go every year. Last time I went was 2 years ago. John, while you were there, did you watch the airshow?
Too bad I couldn't make it to pho last week, would have been nice to finally meet you. Perhaps at CES then?

What is the model of your camera. you always get very good pictures.

Z06 Corvette, great sports car - tremendous performance for the money...you're a car guy, JC...you should have commented more on it.

lol - "food building"

Mmmm, little fair action going on there. Looks like a good time to me.

I couldn't imagine a PNE without BBQ chicken... How dare the CNE use the name while falling short on the menu :wink:

Good to know you are enjoying Toronto...Hope to see you back soon

Ahh yes, the CNE is always a great time. Have you been to the CNE before?

I don't subscribe to the "Toronto is the centre of the Universe attitude", even though I've now lived in the GTA for 7 years. and I've been only to the CNE once or twice. I do find that here in North America everything always is the best and biggest - superlatives galore.

Another example would be "Go Transit", which until recently claimed to be the safest public transit system in the world. Well, I sent them a couple of emails, asking me to show the statistics to back up the claim , especially since the system is known for constant problems including an engine setting a shed on fire because it was running inside the shed all day(!). They weren't able to back up the claim.

PS: Does the PNE have an air show?

Canada sucks - all there should drop off the edge of the world

I think your daughter enjoyed a lot John.

you can't beat the modesty of the west coast tech scene!

looks like you and your daughter had a blast. cool stuff
