    2017 with a bow on top

    by W. Andrew Powell December 21, 2017
    by W. Andrew Powell December 21, 2017

    How did we get here? Is it really a few days until Christmas, and where did all of those 365 days go from 2017? Everyone asks these questions around this time of year, of course, and I wish I had better answers, but I’m also really proud of what The GATE has done in 2017. It was The GATE’s biggest year ever, with the most articles and posts, likes and shares, and I had some incredible adventures too.

    Saying goodbye to my mother

    by W. Andrew Powell August 1, 2016
    by W. Andrew Powell August 1, 2016

    My earliest memories of my mother, Marilyn, are when I was three or four and my parents and I were living in a basement apartment in Saint John. We would later move to a little village an hour’s drive away, to be with my grandparents, but in Saint John my mother was naturally the centre of my universe, and I still remember how she helped build up my love for things that would always be important to me. She was nurturing and caring, and she loved her family and friends deeply.

    Once upon a time in New Brunswick

    by W. Andrew Powell October 3, 2015
    by W. Andrew Powell October 3, 2015

    You may have noticed that it’s been a bit quiet around here. Not that long ago I was bustling my way through TIFF, but a day after it was over, I had to get myself to New Brunswick where I’ve been working ever since. It’s coming up on two weeks that I’ve been here, and the adventure continues for another week before I head back to Toronto.

    Lessons from the first year with my little girl

    by W. Andrew Powell July 24, 2014
    by W. Andrew Powell July 24, 2014

    Almost 12 months ago I became a dad. I even bought an appropriate domain (nothing fancy–it points to this part of my blog) in anticipation for the big day, but since my little girl was born, I haven’t blogged about her once. (Sorry, girlie!)

    Keeping an ear out for baby

    by W. Andrew Powell October 4, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell October 4, 2013

    As some of you may have read already, I became a dad at the end of July when my daughter was born, and I’ve decided to try to chronicle some of my (mis)adventures as I learn what it means to take care of a small human with the cutest smile in the world.

    Introducing my little star

    by W. Andrew Powell August 4, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell August 4, 2013

    It’s official. This guy is a dad! You may have noticed that The GATE was a little quiet over the last week, but I was just a little too busy with my new born little girl to make time for entertainment and everything else online.

    Surprise!

    by W. Andrew Powell July 25, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell July 25, 2013

    Few things in life are certain, but I will say this: surprises are a lot of fun.

    Chip off the old block

    by W. Andrew Powell March 13, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell March 13, 2013

    In the immortal words of Ted from How I Met Your Mother, “That guy’s a dad!” Well, not yet, but I’m going to be this August, and today we got the news that we’re going to have a son.

    The Great Pumpkin

    by W. Andrew Powell October 31, 2011
    by W. Andrew Powell October 31, 2011

    There are lots of other updates I want to post–now that the wedding is over and time has slowed down a bit–but for now I had to post a photo from my evening in. Aisha and I carved us up a little friend we decided to call Jack ‘O while we watched Evil Dead 2 (It just ain’t Halloween without Bruce Campbell.)
