Two Smiles
Just a couple of lighter moments today. I’m running behind schedule.
Smile…It’s Monday
I have mentoned before that I don’t share the aversion to Mondays felt by so many. I usually like my work. I have been wondering if the reaction to Mondays is as acute as it once was, given that so many people now work from home. The days just seem to blur. A day-at-a-time calendar […]
The Question
Another older post resurfacing today, this one from March 3, 2015. In case your math skills are poor, that is seven years ago today. Wheo knew I would be posting still in 2022? Why do people ask me what my favorite Bible verse is? I just don’t get it. Is it some type of spiritual […]
Tuesday? Must Be!
Not only is it Tuesday, but it is Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday and the beginnning of Lent. I figured it was a good day for some topical humor before we get solemn. Okay, those last two had nothing to do with Tuesday. I thought I would throw them in to see if […]
Phone Fun
Do you ever have days when you just feel uninspired? Me too. In fact, yesterday was one of them. So today, instead of the post I had planned, I’m rerunning one of my favorites, this time from five years ago. “Mr. Anderson, this is the Traffic Department calling. We are calling about a claim regarding […]
Only In Canada
I came across this sign while walking through the truckers’ protest in downtown Ottawa. I had to look twice to make sure I understood. As far as I can tell, someone is trying to sell a snowbank on the side of the road. Can that really be the case? I doubt there were any takers. […]
Friday At Last!
I was sitting down to edit today’s post about the ongoing trucker protest in Ottawa when my fingers rebelled. “Enough of this,” they screamed. “Why can’t we be funny on Friday?” Who am I to argue with my fingers? Hopefully today’s cartoons actually are funny.
Saturday Smiles
I have written quite a bit about the ongoing truckers’ protest in Ottawa this week, but I’m letting it percolate for a bit before sharing it. Part of my problem is that I sympathize with the residents of Centretown who are tired of the noise and traffic jam and just want their lives back. Understandably, […]
Let The Games Begin
I just erased today’s post. Deliberately. It was about the Olympic Games, whihc officialy open today in Beijing. I discussed the politics of the games, the human rights abuses by China (and other host countries going back to Berlin 1936), the various cheating scandals and a suggestion that perhaps it was time to jettison the […]
Prognostication Time – Ten Thoughts For Today
I am not a rodent, and I don’t understand why every February 2 we turn over weather predicting to a groundhog. Is this the sign of a diseased society? The groundhog options are limited, and the same no matter which groundhog you follow and in which country he or she resides. If the groundhog sees […]
