In my riveting account of my dismal day yesterday I neglected to mention one of the odder parts of it – the taxi ride.
So we’re driving along and I ask the driver, “Have they closed that bridge yet?”
You see, for me to get to work I have to cross the river and the bridge I […]

As days go, today sucked in rather a large way. Let me explain …
First you need to understand that yesterday – Valentine’s Day, no less – was excellent, even though it’s excellence had nothing to do with it being Valentine’s day. Now, I don’t pretend to understand these things. In the absence […]

Well, it has nothing to do with Valentine’s Day, and I’m not much for sports, but it seemed appropriate today to show Beckie Scott and Sara Renner, two smiling happy people (shiny, too, with their silver medals). Happy people have a synergistic effect on other people, I think.

Well, it is Valentine’s Day after all and, while love has numerous aspects, shadings and qualities, it’s romantic love that most people think of on this day – it’s presence or absence.
Whatever … I love the poetry of Pablo Neruda (well, the political stuff not so much) and any excuse to post a poem of […]

Thanks to Spinning Girl (who in turn thanked Lee Ann), I was able to create my own word cloud over at this place.
I am very pleased that it begins with “Alberta Ass.” What could be more appropriate?

I think I’d rather have a root canal.
I made the mistake of taking a look at some of the stuff on Postsecret. Good grief. Who would want to hook up with that? There were maybe one or two that were normal but most looked like what was needed wasn’t a lover/companion but a freakin’ […]

On one of my other blogs, Writelife, I posted a lengthy list of terms people searched for that led them to me - well, to one of my blogs.
I have five favorites. They seem to have a certain existential questing:

As if there were not hazards enough in this endlessly cranky world what with every idiot getting a license to drive a car, petty crime rampant and urban violence seemingly the norm, now even rural areas are at risk.
It seems U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney managed to shoot some 78-year old fellow hunter in a quail […]

Over in Torino, the Canadian contingent took part if the opening ceremonies of the 2006 Winter Olympics. They proudly waved the maple leaf and wore their ear-flap lumberjack hats – at least, I think they’re lumberjack hats. I’m not really sure how else to describe them. Not knowing any lumberjacks personally, I can’t confirm this […]
