My brother sent me a link yesterday to a cute little video. In it, an animated squirrel loudly laments an allegedly lamentable fact: Change jars for dogs collect more change than similar jars for kids in retail settings. The squirrel, or more accurately it’s creator is outraged by this. Really, really outraged. The inference is…

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…

Here in Ottawa, the National Capitol Commission (NCC) issued an eviction notice to the Occupy My Last Nerve crowd in Confederation Park.

Last night, I had the opportunity to see the new Martin Scorsese film “Hugo”. I had no idea what the storyline was, only that a friend had scored passes for it and invited my family and I along. I made a point of not looking it up so as to approach it with fresh eyes. …

So I’ve finally gotten around to playing Forza 3. I know it’s the previous generation, but that’s what my budget supports right now. I didn’t have an Xbox360 when this came out and by the time I got one, my driving time was taken up with GT 5 on the PS3. It turns out to…

Usually, I try not to write about the same thing two days in a row. This isn’t my fault though. If the Occupy the Media people would just shut up, I could move on peacefully. Instead, they are talking about maybe issuing demands. Really? Demands? Who do they think they are? What right do they…

It seems some jokes have a shelf life. Apparently, people are done laughing at the Occupy (Camp) Wherever movement. Now, like “Train-wreck” Charlie’s one man show, it’s time to get them off the stage. The protesters have proven their irrelevance. Two months into their protest, the only people who care about their pet issues are…

A story on MSNBC caught my eye today. For years now, the residents of Pavillion Wyoming have been complaining about their drinking water. They claim it’s turned black and stinks of gasoline. Many are claiming serious health issues relate to the problems with the water. Why am I writing about this? Well, aside from the…

My day started off with a lost wallet. I also needed to get a blank cheque for payroll at my new job, and I had stuff to clean up in the back yard before the snow flies. I went online to order cheques the other day and discovered I didn’t have enough in my account…
