Huzzah! Huzzah!

That's what you need to say to your co-workers and employers today. Let them know what you have been doing on the fifth day, how you have idled away the hours, frittered productivity potential leaving the nation needing to borrow to replace the shortfall. I think that is my proudest achievement through all the years. Huzzah!

• If there was ever a day to trip your toes through the archives, taking in such gems as:
  • The Tantrama series
  • Astronaut Art
  • The Red Ensign
  • The Shadow Cabinet posts.
  I won't point you to the selection of comment makers who lost it but its in there, too.

• In other news of the week - BEE BLOGGER!

• Photos of rogue waves are being taken while you sleep on home-assembled beds shipped over the oceans by merchant seamen under threat of death by rogue waves. Have you ever considered that? Don't you want to whittle your own furniture now?

• Clearly this man has no idea about the fallacies of Torynomics:

  Stephen Harper made a pitch to Quebec's suburban voters to trust his Conservatives as a safe choice to manage an uncertain economy, portraying opponents Stéphane Dion and Gilles Duceppe as obsessed with the unity battles of the past. The Prime Minister made no mention of the in-and-out election-finance scandal that is buffeting his party - and raising the hopes of the Bloc Québécois, who believe the issue will turn off voters who recoiled at the Liberals' sponsorship scandal in the last election.

  This, too, from the man who has abandoned the surplus budgeting that turned the Canadian economy around and who declared Quebec a nation on behalf, apparently, of himself and his family and some people he met once.

• Every historic plaque in Ontario in one place...

• Apparently my interest in the eight episode TV series New Amsterdam will fade and be forgotten as it is not being continued. Immortal fighter for justice - very Captain Scarlet.

Well, that is enough. I have to save something for the sixth anniversary. I could have learned six languages in the time it has taken to write these 4079 posts but how would that have helped Hans though the years and his slightly sleepy feeling in the morning?
