The Technician
I wrote this post in October last year, but got sidetracked and didn’t post it. Today seemed like a good time to correct that error. Don’t you hate technology? Even more, don’t you hate calling tech support? You know they can’t help you – but hope springs eternal. My internet connection died, and with it […]
The In-Between Time
The week between Christmas and New Year’s always seems different somehow. It is as if time has slowed down.In Canada, Christmas Boxing Day and New Year’s Day are statutory holidays. Given that, many people take the other three days of that work week off to get an extended vacation. There are fewer cars on the […]
Merry Christmas!
Of course, there is no point to Christmas on it’s own. Good Friday, and then Easter, are what give it meaning.
It Is Offically Winter
I waited for the sun to go down to write and post this, though I have been thinking about it for a few days. December 21 is the equinox, the shortest day of the year, and the beginning of Winter. Not that it feels any different than yesterday. There is a dusting of snow on […]

Public Service Message
Europe switched from Daylight to Standard time last weekend, so this message isn’t for my readers there. My clock radio switched automatically a day early, which meant Saturday morning was a scramble when I realized it was an hour later than I thought. My oven I think I can handle – I do have a […]
Which Would You Choose?
I could say much more on this topic, but this is one of times when the picture really is worth a thousand words. As the cliche says, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Yes, life isn’t always easy – but giving up is.
Winter Wonderland?
It is only October. It isn’t supposed to snow yet. At least not in Ottawa. This snowfall will all melt away, but it is a reminder that winter is coming. I’m not ready for it. I don’t think anyone ever is. Still, it looks pretty.
