If you read the previous post, you will recall the near disaster when when we took my neice to the Museum of Nature Monday. I am happy to report that our trip to the National Gallery went more smoothly. Neither Lynn nor Cynrhia were really interested in the gallery, so it was just Tammy and…

My niece Tammy is visiting from Sudbury, which is very cool. I haven’t seen much of her since I moved to Ottawa in ’97. We are really close, so it’s nice to have her here. Of course, as I mentioned last time, I’ve just started a new job so not much time off during her…

So, my brief tenure at GameStop has drawn to a close. Nothing against them, it was a great job while it lasted. Unfortunately, it was only part time. Not enough hours for me to live on. So when I heard my local Fido store was hiring full time, I jumped ship. Everything is very amicable,…

My friend Jason gave me screener passes to the new Tintin film as an early birthday present. So bright and early this morning, Lynn and I dragged ourselves out of bed and headed off to the ten a.m. show. It couldn’t have been more worthwhile. I have been a been a fan of the iconic…

I was watching a presentation about science, magic and quantum mechanics (much more interesting than it sounds), and it gave me a couple of things to ponder. He makes the argument that science actually makes the universe more magical, not less so. Here’s an example. Any time you look out a window anywhere on the…

I realize that my posts have been a bit sporadic lately to say the least. It’s kind of a good news, bad news thing. I’ve started a new job, which is a good thing. On the other hand, the learning curve has been eating so much of my energy that it hasn’t left a lot…

That’s right folks, it’s that time of the year again here in the National Capitol Region. Time to break out the toques, mitts, shovels and Tylenol Back pills. I’ve just shoveled my drive for the first time this year. Yay! Don’t get me wrong, I love the s**w. I just love it a lot more…
