It began around midnight. As I look out the window now, about 18 hours later, it is still coming down, though very lightly.
We had something similar last week too. We are three days away from the first day of spring. We’ve had the warmest winter in Alberta’s history (well, since they started […]

Recently, Mack-N-z posted a post I could not resist - The Beach. What could be better than a beach? Few things, I think. Anyway … I commented on her post but also said I was going to use it here. And now I am.
I had planned to expand on it but this […]

And let me thank you, too, James. It’s been a pleasure to be interviewed by you, even if it had something of an obsessed stalker quality to it. I mean really, it’s pretty astonishing the things you know about me, but what kind of guy researches another man’s childhood underpants choices? Don’t you think that’s […]

Across the pond in the country of Shakespeare, something may be amiss. Or perhaps this is the norm in England and I’m just ill-informed about daily life there. But here are three recent searches that landed someone from England at my door:
- acrylic toilet seats the planets- polar bears wipe bum- getting wet and muddy […]

I don’t live far from this place – just a few blocks. I use to live even closer – I use to be just down the street. This picture was taken in the fall. Hence, the leaves on the ground.
These days this place looks considerably different as we’re in the final throws […]

In yet another absence of a well thought out, cogent post, I offer these passing notions. (By the way, I do have honest-to-goodness posts, but they’re in my head and I’ve been too lazy to type them out.)
How movies have changed
When I was much younger, tonight’s problem simply would not have happened. But […]

Thanks to the fact that I stumbled upon apophenia (danah’s blog) I came across this:
Fake Gay News
It’s worth a look. I howled. Quite funny, especially in the wake of the Brokeback Mountain - Crash nonsense.
And thanks to rebecca and her direction, I have found the Live Rutacam courtesy of The Advanced Rutabaga Studies Institute.

Here’s the scenario … For whatever reason, however it happens to be arranged, I am at an “event,” a kind of party, a kind of festive congregation of all the bloggers I have met online. This is not a “virtual” meeting. No, it’s flesh and blood, face to face, tactile and scented and real time. […]

Today began with a flurry of snow. Unlike the gentleman pictured here, I didn’t feel this was the morning for a cycle round the town.
The temperature is right on the freezing mark: 0 degrees Celsius (32 Fahrenheit). So the flakes are big and wet. And the streets are white and brown and […]

I’m not sure this is an actual haiku. It seems what constitutes one often depends on who you speak to. However, I seem to be in a mood to write this kind of thing so I submit this pretender to haikudom:
An idiot calls.“Who are you?” Such a question.Drunk, we’re revealed.
(Inspired by some fools running amok […]
