Happiness is a bugger. And I’ll tell you why. You’re never aware of how happy you are, or even that you’re happy, until it’s over.
The reason you don’t is obvious – you’re too busy being happy!
On the other hand, when you’re miserable, you’re aware of it every single moment as it happens. If you’re [...]

In the absence of an image of my bike, which I have managed to get functioning again, we get an image of Gonzo. This is her sepia look.
Sadly, I’ve been remiss in the brushing department so she looks a bit rough around the edges … but you know? She doesn’t seem to [...]

The heat wave we’re experiencing is supposedly leaving town sometime tomorrow. Let’s hope that’s the case, because it ain’t been pretty.
This post is all about having something else to greet the eye when a person arrives here, something other than yesterday’s image of a young man pulling down his underpants. I don’t know who that [...]

I always know it is a hot summer night by the degree to which my drawers stick to my bum.

It’s sunny. It’s warm. It’s summer and it’s Sunday. And it’s a long weekend so I am untroubled by thoughts of work tomorrow.
I am sitting on my balcony taking advantage of my wireless connection. Below me, an industrious fellow is mowing the lawn. I live in a condo so collectively we pay [...]

Well, who do you think I run into downtown today? Captain Canada! (Looks like he’s a smoker - bad example for the kids!)

I suppose there are many things you could say about Canada but if I could only pick one word to characterize it that word would be big. Pretty too.
It is one freakin’ big hunk of land. Try making your way across it – from Newfoundland, through the other Maritime provinces (be sure to stop in [...]

From one patriot to another … belch!
What is it about national holidays that promotes drunkenness, rude behaviour and horrific fashion? I suspect the season. It’s hot outside.
Today is Canada Day. This means a long weekend. This means I’ll have Monday off, so this year I’ll be lollygagging on the same day Americans are as [...]
