For those of you who don’t know, Joshua William Kligerman arrived at 4:27am on February 13, 2007, weighing in at 6lb and 4oz, at Mount Sinai hospital in Toronto. Delivery was long and difficult (long and difficult for mom and baby, just long for me), but ultimately a truly unique and wonderful experience.
Joshua is now [...]

Still Walking
Posted in Milestones on August 22, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
After a long hiatus, including nearly losing all previously posted content, I am happy to report that Walking the Earth is back on the grid. I am very happy about this, since it means continuity between the original post, way back in the early year of 2001, and today.
It is not possible for me to [...]
CCIE #13999
Posted in Learning, Milestones on October 28, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
On Monday I returned to Raleigh, with unfinished business to attend to. Tuesday morning I was back at Cisco’s RTP campus, tackling the monstrosity that is the CCIE practical exam. And this time, I made sure there would be no next time: I found out early Wednesday morning that I passed. What a relief!
I actually [...]
Prelude Sold
Posted in Milestones, Transportation on August 28, 2004 | 1 Comment »
After having the Prelude listed in AutoTrader for almost a month, it suddenly sold yesterday. Two nights ago a couple of guys came over to have a look at it and give it a test drive, and liked what they saw. After some negotiation over the price, we agreed on a reasonable figure and the [...]
Prelude For Sale
Posted in Milestones, Transportation on August 1, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
We’ve decided to sell one of the cars. Given our proximity to the subway station, the fact that Merita will be going to school downtown next month, and the very high cost of insurance, it seems like the sensible thing to do. Of course it only makes sense to sell the smaller of the two–a [...]
Job Interview
Posted in Milestones, Work on May 15, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
On Friday I had a job interview; my first since I originally started my current job back in 1995, which has morphed its way through three companies, each having acquired the last. The interview was for a position within my current organization, but in contrast to the roles I’ve held in the past, this was [...]
Goodbye Dearbourne

It’s 7:00am on Sunday morning, and I sit staring at countless boxes and bags, containing everything I own. Today is moving day: we’re moving from our home of the past few years near Broadview & Danforth to our new home, a little further east and north.
Despite the excitement of moving into our own house, it [...]
Merita’s Birthday

Saturday was Merita’s birthday, and to celebrate we went to her parents’ place in the afternoon for cake and presents, and then the two of us went to dinner at Acqua, downtown at BCE place. Great food, wine and service. We then went to club 279 where our friends were, since it was also another [...]
End of 2003
Posted in Milestones, Shopping on December 31, 2003 | Leave a Comment »
Today marks the last day of 2003, and it has been quite a year. Most significant, of course, is that I was married this year. It was also an all-around good year at home, at work, and personally. Hard to think of all the specifics–that’s why I started documenting things on this site!
We went shopping [...]
The Wedding
Posted in Family, Milestones, Uncategorized on December 1, 2003 | Leave a Comment »
Our wedding was an unforgettable experience. It went off without a hitch, and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves.
There are too many details to write about them all, but I’ll give a synopsis of the wedding weekend and the festivities leading up to it. It will also not be possible to capture all the emotions [...]
