Wierd sky over Ottawa tonight
The rain threatened to drive the St. Patrick’s Day revellers in, but sadly held off. Crawling home from our treat night dinner at Carmen’s Veranda (excellent, by the way) The…

…or is it just that the internet shows you all the wierd stuff?
It was a little chilly today. But the roads are clear of snow and relatively dry so there’s no point keeping the snow tires on. So out came the slicks.…
Irene really outdid herself here. Tremendous hair coloration acumen.
I’m beginning to think this might be a pattern. Same company, same rhetoric, same lies. They’re all in favour of letting workers try to defend their livelihoods at the bargaining…
And so it begins. Rideau Lakes seems a long way away and Kingston a very daunting destination. But it was a lovely day today. Lots of riders out. But uh……
I was stunned. The three of us had gone swimming at Carleton that afternoon. We were back. Mallory was tired and hungry. Dinner was on the way. I’d gotten out…
Yes indeedy. After March 21 we’ll be a mere three phone household. We’re killing the land line and going to dry loop DSL. The land line has become increasingly useless…
Friends, family, comrades, co-workers, store clerks, waiters, all. So much progress made, so much more to do. Personally and politically.
I went out for a beer with my canoe trip friend Martin this evening. We had a great conversation but I don’t feel like sharing any of it. But after…
Oh my that was challenging. Leigh who teaches Tuesday evenings gives great instructions, has great energy and wit but I found this class quite challenging. Quite likely because it’s the…
Pollster Frank Graves has an item on iPolitics.ca about the recent spate of polling that media outlets have reported as indicating solid and enthusiastic public support for all manner of…
We’ve thought of Achray. We’re headed to the park (we hope) in August, and were hoping to keep crowds to a dull roar. We’re willing to do a couple of…
Mallory got her certificate, covered in stickers and stamps. Perfect for kids. She really does ski well. Irene and I put on our skate skis and slashed about the trails…
So both Sheila and I are at the stage in our lives where we don’t get hugely thrilled about marking the passage of time. But nonetheless, I thought I would…
A cute Mallory picture. The shirt used to belong to her cousin Abbie, who she doesn’t see often but utterly adores.
I’ve got friends and acquaintances in pretty much everyone’s campaign these days. So I’m going to disappoint someone I’m sure when I say that I can’t believe anyone who would…
Mallory, her friend C and I played twenty questions at dinner tonight. What a hoot. But challenging especially when one of the players is but on the cusp of reading.
Lately Mallory’s been quite sensitive and unhappy around her lessons. I know parents agonize about how much structured activity to give their kids outside of school and I guess Irene…
So there are three train engineers dead after their train derailed in Burlington, ON today. It’ll be a year before we know the how and the why of what happened.
