Tomorrow is closer to 2007 than 2005. We have already passed the solstice. Funny how it all just trips away. No nevermind, however, as there are do-ins to do and a long weekend before us. And we'll see how far we get with today's bullets as high-speed from Sympatico is chugging like a tramp …

Last time I checked I did not care what was on CBC TV. Not because it is a hot bed of socialism, as some famous bores might go one about, but because it is simply pretty bad. That being said, I am almost moved by this stunned decision:  •  “CBC programming executives scrambled to do damage control …

It has to be the best ever - because I say so. It appear that we are in the era of the say so and we might as well join in, when anyone can make anything up and call it science, patriotism, ethics or law and divide the nation with consequent calls to action. Now is the hour to join the fight to …

I caught Franz Ferdinand on Austin City Limits last night. They are still the band of the 21st century.

I like Stompin' Tom. I have listened to "My Old Atlantic Home" most every time I drive back into New Brunswick - which has been a number of years now that I think of it.

I was surprised to find myself in a funk yesterday morning all over one game, the second game the Sox lost to the Jays. The bunt and the save yesterday pulled me back a bit. I'll be OK now. While the natural order of things is the Jays are third to fifth and while there are teams that play beyond …

I tend to get a little over obsessed with things I take an interest in. I have a big stash of large flags from the year I bought the flag pole, whacks of maps from back in around 1994 when I was all into maps, I have hockey cards from the 60s and my comics from when I was 13 and bought most of …
