Is there nothing as fraught as a Canadian of any political stripe claiming that we are being manipulated by the United States? • The ammunition for Ottawa’s broadside against the pipeline’s opponents is drawn in part from the work of a relatively little-known blogger from North Vancouver. In the …
You Fest Of Linky Goodness For Nameless Week
Posted by on Thursday, December 29, 2011 in - leave a comment
So what do you call the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve? I don't think of them as the holidays. They are the weeks before the 24th when you spend and spend and spend and spend and spend as if you were in some sort of Bacchanalian cult... oh, well there is that. These days are the days of …
Your Weekend Links Of Note For A Day At The Hospital
Posted by on Friday, December 9, 2011 in - leave a comment
Efficient. Kind. Relaxed. Excellent. It was a good day at the hospital helping the lad get through what turned out to be a far less onerous than feared experience of an eyeball straightening. More nip than tuck, I have spent longer stretches at the dentist. Shades of my two days long medical stays …
Some Weekender Bullety Points For Yulesight
Posted by on Saturday, November 26, 2011 in - leave a comment
Yulesight. You can see the holidays coming but you are not quite connected emotionally yet. It was an interesting week. I was slagged in the British media. Beer magazine columnist with a chip on his tiny shoulders. Wrote a complaint to the publisher whose response was that they did not feel, that … read more »
Friday Bullets For Another Day Without A Voice

This bug goes on. Sputter and wheeze was this week's treat. Got X-rays shot through my chest. Never speak of X-ray. X-rays. They are many. I am now off speaking. Hard to do with five kids in the house. Lots of arm motions required. But an 8 month old is not strong on responding to arm motions …
Your Weekender Chat Fodder Points Of Topical Interest

Just a residual cold now. Nine hours of over the counter cold medication induced sleep. Scooby-Doo is on for the four year old. The big kid is off playing sports. A Saturday where there is a reasonable prospect of maintaining consciousness and actually doing something lays before me. I will be in …
Your Friday Bullets For The End Of August

It is the end of summer today. Not really. But it is. You know it. The air is cooling if you are not in Texas and, let's be honest, it is a relief. Visiting is pretty much over. You have seen who and what you want to see by now. You remember cords. I would be out buying cords this time of year in …
Friday Bullets For Vacation Dump Run Day
Posted by on Friday, August 5, 2011 in - leave a comment
It's all turned around. Middle of a two week vacation in which the first week was about stuff and the next about other stuff. Makes for odd experiences. Weekday dump run was all about hanging out with retired guys who looked like they made a dump run every week even though there is garbage pick up …
Friday Bullets For The Real Beginning Of Summer
Posted by on Friday, June 17, 2011 in - 3 comments
Thank God the NHL wrapped it up before the actual beginning of summer. Even though it went seven games, the Canucks wrapped it up a few fays earlier than that, too. Man did they suck. Was a riot warranted? No, an act of no class. Why burn cars when the jerseys should have been in the bonfire …
Friday Bullets For Waking At 7:43 AM
Posted by on Friday, May 27, 2011 in - leave a comment
I hate these "PA" days which appear to be another form of kids getting a day off. One kid had two school trips this week, too. Surely Tim Hudak will fix this. Somebody better. Tories can do anything, you see. They've figured out the whole price for jets thing, too - but haven't apparently told the …
