Asleep at the Wheel 40 Miles Left to Go
I started working out in earnest this week, and it seems that I have forgotten what happens when you do a full workout after not really doing any kind of workout for a long time. Fear not, for my muscles are reminding me in such a way that I won’t forget for at least a […]
Remember the special envelopes that used to be included with Christmas cards sold here in Canada? You know, the ones with the 6 boxes on the bottom line for the postal code, all by itself? Those things have, until this point, led me to believe that leaving the postal code all lonely on the bottom […]
Apparently there is some Canadian heritage on display in Waterloo, ON. Waterloo is home to the Canadian Clay and Glass Museum, and a little more detailed picture of the facility can be seen here.
* ring ring * “Hello?” “Hello, is this the Mexican Embassy?” “No ma’am, it’s not.” “Are you sure?” “Quite.” *pause* “Is it because I’m using English?” “No ma’am, it’s because this is my home, not the Mexican Embassy.” *click* I love it when people phone here and ask if I’m sure they’ve dialed the wrong […]
4011 It’s not quite Christmas in Hollis – in fact it was nothing like that – but it was damn good. I hopped on a plane last weekend to take in the long weekend with Walt, Lee, Zoe, and Jake. I flew Mapleflot and it was a surprisingly good trip both ways; it’s almost like […]

3883 It’s fun being a Leafs fan in Ottawa (disclaimer: I thought Alfie’s impersonation of Mats was pretty damn funny, and it was a shame that a Lady Byng candidate such as Tucker was on the receiving end of a questionable hit). No, really. People send you the nicest things in the mail. I will […]
3853 Just got back from Cranford, NJ after spending a great Easter weekend with Walt, Lee, and the kids. There was brunch, chocolate, fresh Mex, wine, beers, and a little walking of a line. As always, it was great to stay chez Trotta, and pictured here is Jake, now nine months old, and acting out […]
Because moggy posted hers, and I’m awake too early for my liking, and everything I have to do I don’t want to, I will procrastinate instead.
