The Meme About Six Things
Posted by on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 in - 6 comments
A meme! I haven't seen one of these things since 2005. Remember: it's pronounced me-me. Anyway, Jay tagged me for a little pre-Facebook nostalgia on this one: • “The Meme: Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.” • So here they are: • one: I only posts blog posts on odd …
New Stylin'

It's all about the new style. I need a little new style. Gotta get me some. See, universal replacement flappers won't work. It's that peg hole to flapper relationship that marks the new style. There's elevation. Gotta get me the new style.
Family Day: No More Values-Free Day Off
Posted by on Monday, February 18, 2008 in - 3 comments
Four years ago, all I thought of was snoozing. Three years ago I wrote about the joys of an extra day off through the good graces of the good folk who figure out what days off. I had a premonition that the western Canadian notion of "family" would move in on the space eventually and here we are. I …

...yet a work day, too. Consider the sound of snow being shoveled as the cogitations of this morning. • There. That makes 3,999.
Being Hefty: The Laws And Lies

I've been a big guy most of my life, though when I look back now at pictures of me from when I thought I was too heavy makes me shake my head. You do what you can, put down the seventh Ring-a-Ding Junior, do an insane number of sit-up yet still you get to wake up to news like this: • “While New …

First, I have to admit that the situation is no unlike that song by the Smiths, "Girlfriend in a Coma", in which I always took (perhaps wrongly) a guy who has just started dating a girl, kinda likes her but that's it, faces the fact that she is in a coma after an accident and is sort of a jerk. I …

I don't know if Justice David Jenkins was a Grit or a Tory in his pre-bench life but he is a fine judge. He sat on the hearing I was involved with which led to the recognition that political discrimination had to end in Canada's last hold out for Victorian values, Prince Edward Island. I think my …

Drag. I just got the new shingles up this year - like 40 year shingles, you know. And now there's space junk a fallin'. Space junk can look cool when it's falling except when it's falling on you. • I must have told you this but last summer, we were sitting out back in the early evening when …

...if Al has the tee on, then I won't wiff this one, too..." • I admit it - I am a Johnny come lately. I have listened to the home broadcaster for the Giants, WFAN, for fifteen years or more. I like how they call them the New York Football Giants like it's 1948. And the use of grey in the … read more »
Shot Put Training In January

...maybe one day I can be on a shot put guy card. • If there was one thing I did in 2007 that has changed my life, it's buying that shot put. 10,000 and more sit ups since the last of summer? Shot put. Pressing 42 lb dumbbells? Shot put. If I am to have a breakout year this year at 45 I have to …
