This is what Kazoo thinks of Stephen Harper.
For the record, this was not staged. I didn’t even notice that Harper and the other candidates were lining his cage until I went to change the paper today.
Nor did I unduly influence Kazoo with my own well thought out and strongly held opinions; he and I […]

The election took all the wind out of my sails. Even though I was pleased with the NDP’s unprecedented surge forward into Official Oppositiondom, I was knocked flat by the Harper GovernmentTM securing its majority. Four years of unfettered power. Four years of tyranny. Four years of watching him dismantle the things that matter while […]

The good news is that Duncan doesn’t have diabetes or a problem with his thyroid. The bad news is that he’s got kidney disease. And the bad news with that is that there’s no cure. But treatment can make him more comfortable and improve both the quantity and quality of his life.
Treatment. If I […]

My blogging software automatically detects spam comments and keeps them in a separate file for me, so I can go through them later and verify that they are indeed spam.
The vast majority really are spam. They have nothing to do with the content of the blog posts, and their sole purpose is to try […]

Have you ever heard of the Kelly Family? I just found out about them yesterday. They were one of those eccentric showbiz families with a whole bunch of talented kids. In their case, the twelve kids were all home-schooled with an emphasis on music and dance. Nobody ever cut their hair, they wore funny clothes, […]

Here is Duncan and Logan’s first joint project. That’s the foam meat tray from the stewing beef, which I had left in the garbage. When I got home, Logan at least had the decency to look guilty, whereas Duncan just looked satisfied.
And then there’s Kazoo! Up until recently, Kazoo had a few spots […]

My Good Food Box
Have you heard of the Good Food Box program? It’s kind of a produce shopping collective, and it’s open to everybody in Ottawa. I believe they have this program in cities all across Canada.
“We are a non-profit community-based initiative bringing neighbours together to buy a variety of delicious and nutritious […]

Steve Desjourdy, the Ottawa police officer who cut off Stacy Bonds’ bra while other officers pinned her to the ground in the cell block, was charged yesterday with sexually assaulting her.
Even though it’s good news, I rolled my eyes when I heard it. I don’t see it as a sign of real change. I think […]

I applied for five jobs on Friday. Living in Ottawa and not being bilingual, I’m lucky if I can find even one job to apply for on a typical day. Anyway, Friday I hit the jackpot and applied for five. Last night I got a call, saying I’d been shortlisted for one of them. The […]

GC and I went to see Black Swan last night. It’s a psychological thriller about a ballet dancer. It was quite riveting even though most of the time we had no idea what was going on. We couldn’t tell what was real and what was imagined, who was crazy and who was sane, who the […]
