I read this lunchtime that Dr. Jim Murphy, my dentist from 1997 to 2003, has passed away at 74. One of the nicest guys you would ever have meet, he was obsessed with giant pumpkins. During my days of the acre garden and Lil' Shiva the red roto-tiller, he and I talked gardens and seed catalogs between drillings. If I have it right, he pulled a molar of mine when he was 67 saying something like "would you tug back a bit" in his gentle raspy voice. Real good guy.
Canada's Favorite Blog
Articles
- Articles for the sister station, A Good Beer Blog.
- Pick any day's tunes as heard on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day hosted by my personal emailing buddy, Brent Bambury. You won't find a better music selection on radio anywhere - certainly not on the deeply dowdy CBC.
- Another plume catches my eye.
- Stuff less serious than Stuff.
- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
- A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.
