Life is Everywhere, Part II: The Swap Box

Do you remember Life is Everywhere, which was right next to Big Bud’s on Bank Street, and which was one piece in a series of street art pieces being discovered by local bloggers?

Well, a few months ago I reported that Life is Everywhere was GONE.

Today I’m delighted to report that there’s a new piece […]

I had a car, briefly

There’s nothing wrong with admitting your weaknesses. I happen to suck at driving.

Don’t get me wrong, I have a valid driver’s license, and it wasn’t handed to me on a silver platter either. I earned mine the hard way. I failed that test enough times I ended up skulking around the Ottawa Valley looking for […]

Baby buggies on the bus bug me

I missed National Grouch Day yesterday because I was all sweetness and light on my birthday. But I’m going to make up for it today by ranting about OC Transpo and babies. Yes, babies!

I know OC Transpo tries to be all things to all people and ends up being not enough to most of us. […]

Happy Birthday to Me and happy National Grouch Day too!

Yup. Oscar and I share the same birthday.

Last night my son James and his girlfriend Tara had me over for a very nice dinner and an ice cream birthday cake and a few games of Wii. They gave me a guitar stand for my birthday. Interestingly, it was not their first choice.

I took these pictures over at the Experimental Farm this morning. I LOVE Canada Geese.

One of these things is not like the others! (What is that bird anyway?)

What do we love about Autumn?

Curbside drama

Yesterday around rush hour I was getting ready to go out when I heard a commotion outside. Few things draw my attention more than a commotion outside.

This is what I heard:

“OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!!! OPEN THE GODDAMNED FUCKING DOOR!!!”

I looked out my goddamned fucking window and this is what I saw:

A woman hauling a violently […]

The baby doesn’t like me

So yesterday I went to visit the baby Sam. I’ve been raving about this baby to anybody who will listen. How wonderful he is, how peaceful and radiant, how he never cries, how his eyes look deep into your soul, how he imparts calmness and serenity to all who are blessed enough to touch […]

Catchup

1. Those brilliant ESIs have put the most clever widget on their site!

2. Did you know that if your sink is clogged, you don’t need to go buy expensive toxic crap to unclog it? Just stuff the drain full of baking soda, then pour vinegar in. It foams and bubbles and instantly fixes your sink.
