The post below, which is just silliness, was even more silly for quite a number of days because of an error in the headline. For quite a while it read, “American, we are working!”
American? As if the country had a population of one.
A single letter, the blasted “n,” turned me into a moron.
Oh well. Not [...]

America, we are working!

It’s Thanksgiving in the U.S. today and they are watching football and eating turkey. But the rest of us are working. I pointed this out two years ago with this post:
Thanksgiving in the U.S. - the Internet is ours!
Last year, no post. I had just moved across the country and I think the U.S. Thanksgiving [...]

My friend Marnie sent me this, and it was simply too good not to post a link to it:

I am looking forward to Tuesday. Out here, in Fredericton, that’s when they say we will finally be rid of this ongoing wet, grey gloom that has sat on us for longer than I care for. Sun will finally return.

1. YOUR ROCK STAR NAME:
(first pet & current car)
Bernie (I’ve never owned a car)
2.YOUR GANGSTA NAME:
Strawberry Oatmeal Raisin (Now there’s a name that’ll put the fear of God into [...]

Yes, this is another in what we can depend upon being a long and tedious series of postings by the new dog owner rambling about (what else?) his dog.
Despite what the picture to the right looks like, Molly has not tossed me into the Bay of Fundy. She is simply encountering big water for the [...]

Yes, after a very long wait Molly, my dog, is finally home. (Molly went into heat so she couldn’t be spayed so I couldn’t take her home initially … blah blah blah.)
Very interesting too. Despite my efforts to create a place for her to eat and sleep, she has her own ideas. First, it was [...]

I bought a barbecue. Yesterday, it was set up (it was in a million pieces). Last night, we had salmon and corn done on the barbecue. And the highlight for me?
It didn’t blow up. That’s a big deal in my book.
The instruction manual was quite interesting, by the way. It began with page after page [...]
