...of wondering what the hell I am going to write about, of waiting for the coffee before I bother to check the spelling (if even then), of asking myself why I bother with thinking about politics, of no knowing who the hell you 2871 people/widget who visited 6723 times yesterday are, of not having a clue about the business model behind spam, of thinking of all the languages I would know now if I did not write on this thing, of liking and hating this habit, of stuff...just stuff.
Canada's Favorite Blog
Almost Famous
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.

Yeah, I think of all the things I might accomplish if I weren't doing this, but then I remember being at a football training camp on a hot summer day, standing around with a bunch of other sports reporter types.
Willard Reaves ran past, wearing only athletic shorts - a magnificent athlete with a body that was in almost every way perfect, a body that Michaelangelo might have sculpted. I sighed and said to the guy beside me "God, I would kill to have a body like that."
He grunted and said "Yeah, sounds great. But I'd say it would take you about a month to run it into the ground, huh?"
The fact that we CAN do something doesn't mean we WOULD. We do what we do ...
... and you do this exceedingly well.

An Ode To Modesty (!)
Talking of successful rackets,
Modesty deserves a mention:
Exclamation marks in brackets
Never fail to draw attention.
