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 […]
Already?
It is the first day of February, or, if you prefer, the 10,321st day of COVID. At least it seems that way. That being the case, let’s just go for a couple of chuckles today and save the deep stuff for another day. I must admit, I think that one daily. I’m sure it is […]
Your Monday Smile
Let us all hope this isn’t a permanent re-arrnaging, and that the new “normal” when it arrives won’t look tooo different from the old one.
2021 In Review: Welcome To Monday
A perennial favorite since I first posted it in November 2017, this graphic was the second most popular post of 2021. Looking at the date, when it first appeared, I suspect I opted for a graphic-only post because I was on an international flight that day and didn’t have time to write anything more. (Does […]
2021 In Review – Is It Monday?
I have come to realize that people really aren’t fans of Monday – at least in North America. The aversion probably isn’t the same in places where the work week begins on Sunday. This post, from January 2017, was the fourth most-viewed here in 2021. Even though it isn’t Monday today, I hope you get […]
2021 In Review: Slim Pickings
The eighth most popular post here in 2021 was a 2020 offering that surprised me. I thought I had posted much funnier COVID humor earlier in the pandemic – but the numbers say differently. Looking at these today, 15 months after I first posted them, I still smile. But like everyone else, I just want […]
