Axing Kimmel
The headlines had it wrong. Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t taken off the air for anything he said about Charlie Kirk and his killer. It was his comments about Donald Trump that got him in hot water. When the news story first broke that the late-night talk show host had been taken off the air, I was […]
A New View
My wife and I moved residences earlier this year. Just down the street, but a couple of hundred feet higher. I do have some reflections on the process that will be coming this fall, but today just a few pictures of Friday’s sunset. I don’t remember it looking like this when we lived at street […]
Looking Back
What follows here is my second post on this site, from August 30, 2014. I had no thoughts then about continuing for more than a few weeks. It has been fun, more fun than I would have expected. I want to thank you for reading and being part of this journey. Back then I didn’t […]

You have no choice” Ottawa’s transit provider, OC Transpo, unveiled a complete revamping of its system […]
Who Ordered This?
Even in Canada we don’t expect to wake up to a winter wonderland on April 8.
Witty Wednesday
