Thursday Fart Joke
My first thought was that six-year-old boys would probably roll on the floor in laughter – but only if they speak English. German children wouldn’t see the humor. It’s another holiday in Germany, one that I never remember being mentioned in Canada. It is Ascension Day. For some reason, until this week I never heard […]
Let There Be Laughter
It’s Saturday. For most of us the workweek is over. It’s a time to relax, go somewhere, do something. Except…. Where I am, and probably where you are too, there isn’t much attraction in going places. Yes, I could now take the train to Freiburg and shop, something I haven’t been able to do […]
Monday Commentary
Today seemed like a good day to share some Monday images I found online. I’d say it was because I was too lazy to finish any of my dozens of almost ready posts, but that wouldn’t be true. It took me longer to find these jokes than it would have to write something. Chalk […]
Saturday’s Conspiracy Theory
Don’t you just love technology? Me neither. I am frequently appreciative of computers, the internet and all that is possible because of them. But when they don’t work, I feel like throwing the thing across the room. Well, that may be an exaggeration, I’m not prone to violence, even against a machine. But Friday was […]

Does It Make A Difference?
There are no sporting events, no cinemas, most stores are closed, you can’t have people over because gatherings of more than two are forbidden. Everyone is working from home, and no-one really knows what day it is.
Cultural Expression
I’ll admit I laughed when I first saw this one on social media. Then I looked it up to see if it was real. They do things differently in the Canadian north. This is for illustration only – please note the fine print.
Leonardo – Then and Now
It is an iconic painting, Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. You have probably seen it depicted hundreds of times. Today is Maundy Thursday, the day Christians remember the last meal Jesus had before his death, a seder meal as he celebrated Passover with his disciples. Leonardo’s painting celebrates that event, though I have always wondered […]
Public Service Announcement
A friend sent this video to me. I can’t properly describe my reaction. Horror and amusement mixed maybe. But it does get across the essential of how to stay safe in this pandemic, so I figured why not share it.
