The Raccoon
Visiting the Metro Toronto Zoo, and this guy from the Canadian habitat caught our attention. Raccoons look so appealing in the zoo. They are less than appealing when I find them in my back yard trying to open the garbage bins.
Breath of Life
Delayed on the tarmac at Frankfurt Airport seemed like the perfect time to watch Breath of Life, a ten minute documentary about organ donation advocate Hélène Campbell. Hélène is well known for her campaign, to raise awareness of the need for organ donors both before and after she received new lungs. My connection to […]
The 2017 Juno Awards
I’m not a big fan of music awards. Inevitably the wrong artist or record wins, at least in my opinion. I even found that to be true when I was on a panel judging a national music award that shall remain nameless. I was the only judge from outside a certain geographic region – and […]
Some Random Thoughts From This Past Week
Canada’s largest drugstore chain had a computer glitch. No credit or debit cards were being accepted. Who carries cash these days? What would we do if the system went down as a whole, not just one store but everywhere? We have as a society become so dependent on technology, who knows how we would react. […]
Random Ramblings: March 4, 2017
Originally posted on Life Project Blog:
Today is Inauguration Day! OK, no it isn’t, but it used to be. Isn’t that great to know? Well it might come in handy at a trivia contest… March 4 is the date when the terms of the president, vice president and members of Congress begin and end as…
The Girl On The Train
I read The Girl On The Train two summers ago when everyone on the beach was reading it. I thought I had shared my impressions of it with you, but a search of past posts doesn’t turn it up. The movie seemed like a safe choice for inflight entertainment, given that the flight was more […]
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. […]
Random Thoughts For Saturday
You would think that after spending $425 million on renovations, the elevators wouldn’t break down daily. I suppose the out-of-order urinals the day the building opened (that still haven’t been fixed) were a warning sign. Why does my phone plan give me international roaming everywhere I go in Europe, except for Germany? Guess which […]
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 […]
Is it Monday Already?
I don’t dislike Mondays. I like my job and enjoy going to work. I will admit though, it is nice to have a break, to get a couple of days off for the weekend. This past weekend was busier than most, and it almost seems like there was no time to rest and recharge for […]
