I wore a sweater to work yesterday. I should have stung like it was rinsed in acid but I settled into place. I used to not like summer so much. But that was when it meant summer job labour camps and the days before controlling my own air conditioning unit. Say what you like about the miseries of owning a house, not owning one was not as good. But now it's the cold that gets to you. I used to aspire to being outdoorsy but I realize now that I am destined to be indoorsy. Climate controlled.

• So when do we actually get tax and duty free border crossing?
• "Diplomatic celebrity"? How can that be anything but an oxymoron. Telling that both parties wanted him. It's a lot like living in a disfunctional one party state.
• Do they have body bags in storage for you, too?
• Like others, I have watched Leno. I have enjoyed watching Leno. The comedy is 75% on which is better than usual and the musical guests are OK, though last night's Clapton and Hornsby combo was a bit weird, many due to the free form jazz selection.
• Morton still awful.
• Three-billion-to-one? Add in the fact that a 34 year old can golf three times in a week on weekdays when not on an annual holiday and make it more like an ad for Canada's regional development subsidization policies.
• So Brian has been the only Tory majority leader in 50 years. And he left the party with 2 seats and two decades in the wilderness.
• Think I will write a book on the 4375 beers to drink before you die. Inflation is affecting beer books. Time was 50 was enough. Or maybe 300 was the required number.

The gaping maw of the weekend stands before us. Have I mowed may last mow already? Will I find a way to get off the sofa?
