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…

Today’s post is all about the things we take for granted. This has a lot to do with being home all alone. Lynn, Cynthia and Tammy have taken my dog and run away. At least as far as our trailer. That was another thing on my niece’s to do list, spend a few days at…

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…

As such, I have been following with some interest the campaigns for the leadership of…

Recently I was browsing back issues of Maclean’s magazine when an article caught my eye from the September 5th issue. It’s title “Too Many Cops?” makes the author’s position clear. They aren’t asking a question, they’re delivering a verdict. It just looks nicer if they frame it as a question. The gist of the article…

A post has shown up in the Facebook updates of a couple of people I know which got me a little wound up. Being me, I quite naturally fired off a response and moved on, but I couldn’t get it out of my head. It kept nagging at me, so I did a bit more…

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…

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…
