This morning as I was browsing headlines from United Press International, I came across a story about 125 University students suspected of cheating on a final exam. The students are accused of either working together to come up with the answers or copying off one and other. One might reasonably suspect that it should be…

Earlier today I was reading an article about Ann Romney’s speech at the Republican National Convention. This was the latest of the ongoing efforts to “humanize”, her husband, Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. This raises a couple important questions for me. The first question that springs to mind is, “Why should I believe anything she…

Hour four of seven solo today. I’ve answered three or four fairly basic questions. Other than that, I’ve read, surfed the Web, thought about going to the pharmacy for Robaxacet (these stools are killing my back), phoned and left a message for Lynn and texted my daughter. For those who haven’t guessed, I’m a little…

This morning as I was sitting reading the news and enjoying my coffee (Keurig is awesome), I stumbled across an article from the Huffington Post. It seems Republican Congressional candidate Chris Collins was explaining his opposition to Obamacare when he rolled out this gem. “People now don’t die of Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer and some…

Tammy is back in Sudbury, and I’m back at my trailer. We drove up on Saturday, and back to Ottawa on Sunday. That’s about 650kms each way. Since I don’t drive, that’s a lot of driving for Lynn. From the get-go, we planned on stopping at the trailer on the way home. Officially, it’s to…

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…

The old year draws fast to a close, wrapped beneath it’s recent snows; Outside my door a cold wind blows, as the year draws to a close. All within is warm and bright, on this the waning year’s last night; We’ll celebrate returning light, here where all is warm and bright. So very soon the…

Rare though it may be, I agree heartily with a recent article by Andrew Coyne in this weeks Maclean’s magazine. In it, he argues that the problem isn’t with the super rich one percent. It’s them and the eighty nine percent under them. Here in Canada, we don’t have the same issues as are motivating…
