As always, after I’ve taken a trip, I take forever to blog about it. This one was almost a year and a half ago. But I felt like writing it down because if this garbage Coronavirus hadn’t come along, I would have likely been back there this week. Back in March of 2019, when life […]

The Scoop On This Disability Tax Credit-Related Payment Thing
So there’s been a bunch of confusion about this new one-time COVID-19-related payment of $600 that you get if you have the Disability Tax Credit here in Canada. People are running around wondering if they need to apply for something special to get the payment. If you already have the Disability Tax credit, no, you […]
I Don’t Think TuneIn Wants My Money Anymore
When they dropped audiobooks from premium a couple of years ago, I was ultimately ok with it. I wasn’t happy to see them go, but I didn’t listen to them nearly as much as I thought I might. It was nice to know they were there when I wanted them, but I mostly used the […]
How We Are
lyrics are here. I figured now would be a good time to say how we’re doing. I know that soundtrack is a little dark, and it’s darker than it needs to be, but it’s been going through my head, in the sense that when something sudden and life-changing happens, your priorities completely shift. It feels […]
Short People Got Many Reasons To Live!
Wow, I have often bitched about my height before, but maybe, just maybe, there’s an advantage to being short in these times. It seems that taller people are at higher risk of getting Coronavirus. Finally, all these years of needing stepstools to reach things, needing to have my pants hemmed and needing to drag myself […]
This Song Makes Me Laugh For All The Wrong Reasons
I think I’ve said it before. My dad has some wacky expressions. I don’t know how many times, as a kid, I heard him say something, thought he was weird for it, and then discovered it came from a book or a song or whatever. Now I catch myself getting the same reaction from people. […]
Here We Go Again…
I figured that was an appropriate soundtrack for what I was going to say. I wish I could find proper lyrics. I would write them out but there are a couple of spots where I’m not sure of them all. Somebody posted this article about the resistance to wearing masks in 1918 and it sounds […]
Cinderella, Can’t You see he’s a jerk?
I think I made Steve very confused the other night. He came back out to the balcony where I was, and I said “In that last song, I’m pretty sure the guy’s a prick!” Poor Steve hadn’t heard the song I was talking about, so he was very befuddled. But I found the song and […]
It’s A JBL Flip Your Lid 5!
I’m trying to unravel a mystery, and hope that maybe writing about it will help. So…Friday night, we had to accept the fact that Steve’s beautiful iPod dock bit the dust. Well, the dock itself is probably fine, but the cord that went from old ass iPhone 4 port to lightning port got frayed and […]
Enjoy Baseball While You Can, Everybody
Well…that didn’t take long. I knew it was bound to happen, but even I, who is surprised that we’ve gotten to the point where baseball games are being played at all, thought it might take a little longer than like four days for everyone to start getting Coronavirus. Two major league games scheduled for Monday […]
