How Embarrassing

My wife says these notices are most unusual – they display a sense of humor. That’s not something Germans are known for. I gather there have been problems in the neighborhood with people not picking up after their dogs. Well, maybe not in the neighborhood but on this particular street. The message reads: Your dog […]

Don’t Get Excited!

That parcel isn’t for you. It’s for me. An early Christmas present. I should be excited, but I’m not – because I don’t know where it is. I ordered it online. Amazon of course. Partly because that is what you do these days, but mostly because I wanted it delivered to my home in Ottawa. […]

Slim Pickings

It has been my habit over the past eight months to share with you some of the best COVID-19 humor I could find on the internet. I figure we can all use a laugh these days. As the pandemic has dragged on, it has become more difficult to find images that make me smile, let […]

Saturday Smiles

A worldwide pandemic is nothing to joke about – but these made me smile. I hope you do too.

The Comedian

On Tuesday I shared my brother’s reflections on my mother and her quest to find her place in this world. In case you missed it, at 81 she decided her calling was to be a comedian. I didn’t know that at the time – she didn’t mention it to me. If she had, I might […]

Saturday’s Smiles

As promised, here are a few more images to make you smile. Once again, I have saved my favorite for the last. I was tempted to go with a few more, but decided to hold on to them for next week.

Friday Funtime

Today, and I think tomorrow as well, just a few random images I have saved while online. My theory is, if it makes me laugh, it might make you laugh as well – and we can all use a little laughter these days. The last one today is my favorite.

False Praise

I downloaded and installed a new fitness app on my phone, Every Monday I get a report, filled with praise about my progress. Except I have no progress. Not that I am physically inactive. I walk at least 20 kilometres weekly, much of it uphill. But I haven’t bothered to record it with the app. […]

Monday Morning COVID

I know it’s a typographical error, but you have to admit, it is still funny. Six months into the restrictions (more some places) and everyone is tired of COVID-19. Which may explain the spike in cases in some areas as people ease up on their precautions. Humor helps us get through tough situations. We need […]

Saturday Morning Rant

I feel somehow I should rant about something this morning, express some anger. Problem is, I’m not angry at anyone or anything today. Or at least not enough to write about it. So I thought instead to share this post from five years ago. Hopefully it will allow me (and you) to get those inner […]
