Labour Day
Today is a holiday in Canada. In the US also, though they spell it Labor Day. I guess the extra ‘u’ was too much like work, so they dropped it. Given that it is a holiday, I thought I would take today off – especially since today is a salute to workers, and posting here […]
Poor Conditions
First walk in Ottawa’s urban forest this year. I guess no-one from the National Capital Commission changes notices as the seasons change. The tobogganing hill is closed occasionally in the winter after freezing rain – it gets too slick to be safe. I presume that is the “poor conditions” referred to on the sign. It […]
Relaxing on a Saturday
The weather forecast is good – I’m going to spend the day at the beach. But I couldn’t resist sharing this one with you before I go. I’ll probably get in trouble for posting this – I have friends and family members who are accountants. Please don’t take this personally.

I know though that it cannot always be trusted. My daughter was visiting, and I took her to the local mini-golf course, the one no-one except me ever […]
You Have Been Warned
Might want to share this with others even if you don’t have a blog.
Dining Etiquette

Is it Tuesday already?
Does it ever seem like there aren’t enough minutes in an hour to get everything done? Or days in the week? Or computers that cooperate? I promise (or at least I am hoping) to post something longer for tomorrow, but until then some humour to brighten your day. At least, I thought it was funny, […]
