Not being that active here has has left my mind kind of blurry about what I've blogged about before. Every once in a while I'll think of something funny to blog about and then I stop myself and wonder, "Hey, didn't I blog about that already?" Then I go searching through old posts, looking for anything similar, key works, etc.  I only have a few spare hours each week to blog and lately I've been wasting that time searching through old posts frantically trying to find out if that...

I don't think you can get more Canadian than this ... people leaving their homes in the wee hours of the morning to watch massive beer vats going down the highway. To be honest if it hadn't been snowing the past few nights I probably would have been one of those people. Would that make me a hoser? Do people call us that anymore? Anyway, there are 6 humongous beer vats being transported from Hamilton to Toronto over the next few nights. Normally that journey would only take about 40 minutes or... Read Full Story

Okay, we can all stop saying "Happy New Year" now. It's officially over and we're into 2011. I'm so over it the main reason I'm doing this post is to get rid of my previous one. Oh sure, I could just delete it but then I'd miss all your lovely comments. I'll be much happier in a few weeks when everyone stops with all the well-wishing and questions. You know the ones, "How was your holidays?" or something like that. I know it's just people being nice and I always answer with the socially... Read Full Story

I've noticed a lot of people are reviewing the past year ... don't remember people doing that in previous years, maybe I wasn't paying attention. Anyhoo ... I've really enjoyed reading those posts, some of them were really good! But I'm not gonna do that here - mostly 'cause I'm a bit lazy and also 'cause it's done. 2010 is done. It was a great year and a lot of great and positive things happened in my life for which I'm very grateful. But now I'm moving on into 2011 ... and looking forward... Read Full Story

Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration ... the reality is I'll never pee in her downstairs washroom again unless I do it with my eyes closed, which I suppose isn't that complicated. You see the men in the house installed this unforgiving lightbulb that recreates the "outside" on the "inside". Who the hell thought of this concept? Some man, I can assure you. In outdoor lighting I am hideous! And what's worse is before this weekend I never knew that because there are no mirrors outside. Fair... Read Full Story

Hey there! Yes, I'm still alive. I could make lots of excuses, like I'm really busy or my computer is really slow, etc., and they'd all be true ... but I do miss the blogging heydays! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and many bright and happy things in the New Year!

So I'm at lunch with a friend today and next to us was a couple. Initially I didn't pay too much attention to them but I did think that maybe they were on a first date - it was just the vibe I got. When I first sat down I noticed they were a bit formal with each other and there was a bit of distance between their chairs. The next time I looked over they were siting closer and laughing, leaning toward each other a lot. She'd put her hand on his forearm when talking and then flip her hair... Read Full Story

So, y'all know how much I love my groovy 70s music ... or maybe you don't, but in any case, I do love it.  I often put it on at work when I have mindless stuff to do and for the most part I don't pay a whole lot of attention to it but once in a while I hear a song and it takes me back in time and I smile and it's all groovy. But then at other times I hear a familiar song and I kind of stop and go, WTF? How come I never noticed how freaking werid that song was before? Was it because I... Read Full Story

Yeah, I'm still here, not dead.  Old but not dead.  Speaking of old .... A couple of weeks ago I'm at a workshop.  I'm kind of a workshop fanatic, if there is such a thing.  I really love them.  It's like taking a class but they're cheaper and there's no test.  Brilliant! So, I'm at this workshop and there's this older man sitting beside me - we're all sitting in a circle, as you do at workshops, and I hear a faint whistle.  I get distracted, as I do at workshops (or almost anywhere...

So the other night, about 1:45 in the morning actually, I was sitting on my couch watching TV.  My cats were all snuggled in their respective beds on the floor in front of me.  That's when I heard a tapping.  A tap, tap, tapping.  Kind of like someone was hammering something but trying to be quiet and sneaky about it. I thought to myself, geeze, even I don't try to hammer together a bookcase at this hour.  I did try to quietly hang a photo one time around midnight but after a few taps... Read Full Story
