Today my weekend leisure was disrupted by clip-clopping from the street below. It seemed on odd sound for city slicker ears so I went to the balcony and took a look. I was hoping to identify it.
It was horses. And why not? We’ve got SUVs, Harleys, cyclists, skateboards and those compressed “sensible” vehicles that are […]

I was at a wedding yesterday - Henry and Joanne’s. It was a long day (though much longer for Joanne and Henry, I’m sure). And it was certainly fun.
Got to see a lot of people I haven’t seen for a while. I also took lots of pictures and was once again remined […]

I was up way too late last night due to two factors: 1) I ain’t working this week or next and, 2) a few days ago I picked up the complete series of Fawlty Towers so I was watching it last night and laughing my ass off (despite having seen this show maybe a gazillion […]

About an hour ago or so the cops were by and chased away two guys who were doing what these two are doing - grabbing some sod for a daylight snooze.
This is a shot from my balcony, by the way. You may have to click the pic in order to see it […]

What is wrong with me? My moaning and complaining about the heat are clearly the result of failed memory.
Surely everyone knows it is the season of the gin & tonic?
It is my favourite cocktail - and it’s been a while since I’ve had one. And it’s also the only cocktail worthy of these perdition-like […]

Thanks to VegasDoug for pointing this out to me. This is a real toe-tapper. And it’s amusing too. Ah one, ah two, ah three …

It absolutely amazes me that I should complain about it being too hot but … it’s too damn hot!
Is this the price of living past the age of 20? You suddenly finding yourself whining about those things you use to love?
It’s not so much the heat that bothers me, though. Granted, it sucks you […]

I love water. And I love waves. And I wanted to try a video here. Anyway, much as I like watching it this is not something I would ever do:
Wow … I love watching that wave breaking! (I don’t really care about the guy on the surfboard - just the wave.)

I understand lottery tickets. I understand the hope, however faint, that, “I just might win! What if that happened?”
But geez … do they have to always take forever to buy them? I go to the Mac’s across the street (a kind of Canadian version of 7-11) and all I want to do is quickly buy […]

I got on my bike yesterday afternoon and went for a ride. I had forgotten just how far you can bike on the paths around Edmonton, through the River Valley. You just start pedaling and … well, there seems no end of it.
I lost track of the things I saw people doing: […]
