I envy this bird. Nice still water. No other birds around it.
Yes, I would like to be there. I would like to be that bird.
As it was, my day was not like this bird’s. While those in the U.S. enjoyed day three of their Memorial Day weekend (at least, I think that’s […]

Yes, the Edmonton Oilers are going to the Stanley Cup final. And yes, after beating the Anaheim Ducks last night, the fans flooded Whyte Avenue (my neighbourhood) and celebrated. And celebrated. And celebrated.
It made for a long night. I had to close my windows but that only slightly muffled the hooting and honking.
They do like […]

Every day has a theme, if you look for it. After a few hours of being up and about you begin to notice little things that, on the surface at least, seem related – even if the relationship is a strained one.

A few days ago I posted about the subject line of some spam I received (“Where there is love …”) Well, today it was even better. How’s this for a subject line?
Trying is the first step towards failure
I’m still laughing. I can’t help it.

Here’s the subject line of some spam that was in my Inbox:
“Where there is love, there is pain”
What the hell are these clowns selling? Viagra? Pecker extenders? A dating service? If so, that’s kind of a weak pitch, wouldn’t you say?
I didn’t open it - I just deleted the thing. But after I did […]

Gonzo looks up
Summer? Well, there is the sun, the temperature (low 30s Celsius – that would be nudging 90 on the Fahrenheit scale), fires in west central Alberta … and so on.

I seem to have music on the brain these days. I felt the urge to make a list of other music I’m listening to and gave into it. Apparently, I don’t seem to be listening to much from newer artists these days, with the exception Neko Case. I assume it’s just not finding it’s way […]

It boils down to this: he’s been in a lot of movies that I love. I pay as little attention as possible to his public appearance hoo-hah, his marriage to Katie whoever, the baby, Scientology … blah blah blah. Though, obviously (since I’ve mentioned them) I can’t escape that crap.
But for the most part I […]
