Cult of Personality
Canada’s diplomats have received their orders: no more selfies with the Prime Minister. It is not that foreign service officers have been flocking to have their photo taken with the man dubbed “Prime Minister Selfie;” it is that some of our diplomatic missions have purchased life-sized cardboard cutouts of the PM that are being used […]
Thoughts On Survival
This showed up in my email this week. It wasn’t the first time I had seen it, or something similar. It usually doesn’t have pictures attached, which is what convinced me to share it here. I’d give credit, but a quick online search convinced me that authorship is unknown. I know I didn’t write it […]
The Picture Has Its Own Title
Taking the day off today, but didn’t want you to feel I was neglecting you, so I grabbed this one from the joke pile.
Maybe This Will Work
Heading back to work this morning after two weeks out of the office.
Welcome to Saturday
I plan to spend the day recovering from jet lag and doing all the chores I didn’t get done because I was away from home for 12 days. In theory I was too tired last night to finish any of my half-written posts from the trip. I say “in theory” because I am writing this […]
Hot Dog!
French Canadians jealously guard their language from Anglo inclusions. Their French cousins have a more laissez-faire attitude towards English. Or maybe they are just lazy. I grew up in Quebec, where a weekend was fin de semaine, parking was stationnement, stop was arret and a hot dog was a chien chaud. Even new words, like […]
Stuart Mclean, R.I.P.
I wanted to post this Thursday when I heard the news of Stuart Mclean’s death. People were talking about it, and I wanted in on the conversation. When I travel though, Internet access isn’t always immediate, so I decided it would have to wait until today. It was the news no-one wanted to hear, though […]
Toilet Humour
I didn’t get today’s post finished due to some unexpected speech writing and a train that ran later than expected. That’s my excuse anyway, and who can possibly challenge it? So instead of the wordy post I had planned, just a little something from the train’s washroom. The first photo is supposed to be blurred. […]
Riverdale
I read in the newspaper that Netflix was adding a new television series, based on the Archie comic characters beloved by millions. I also read that it was an updated version, a reflection of 21st century social conditions. Forewarned, I watched the first episode of Riverdale anyway. The characters names are the same as in […]
It’s February Already!
One month down, eleven to go and 2017 will be history. Think you are gonna make it? Take a deep breath and relax. Look back at the month that just ended. Was it as bad as you expected? Better? Worse? Where I live, at least the weather was warmer than usual. Which may be good […]
