The end of March break sees our house back down to four after many extended  •  visits of many little kids. Off to Iffica to find a snow storm and maybe a St.  •  Paddy's Day parade somewhere. And dinosaur bones.  •  Did I ever mention that I really like former Sox, former Jays, former Yanks …

Isn't it great when politics can solve issues in science:  •  “...a pair of Environment Canada bureaucrats said they don't even know who's responsible for climate change policy anymore. They said the now-defunct directorate was specifically in charge of overseeing all new climate-change policy …

Nils Ling, a long time blogger and a man who I have only met once but when doing so brought me beer, has thrown his hat in the ring of PEI politics, my former home which I left now over four years ago. He is running for the governing Tories which tells me they must be after a far better class of …

Again, just short posts,  •  How can I bitch about stuff?  •  Somewhere a child cries.  •  I and the server masters still have no idea why there is a limit to the posting size. So I can only build this post a sentence at a time noting, for example, the interesting use - and decision to trigger …

What did this week bring? Bitter cold and a real blizzard. Pitchers and catchers reported. I dreamed of spring. I thought of starting running after seeing me at 21. I still have not ordered my seeds even though I am four weeks away from mid-March when I could be planting them in the garden. I have …
