Well, darn it all. I just got the news that Tom Lehrer passed away. He was 97, so he had a pretty long life, but it’s still sad. That’s probably the song that everyone knows him the most for, but the first one that I knew to be his was called “Poisoning Pigeons in the …

Now Boarding Flight Out Of My Mind!
Someone at Heathrow Airport has spent a little too much time at Heathrow Airport. They have stopped noticing the ambient noise that is caused by people doing what you do at an airport. You know, hearing announcements, picking up your luggage, going through security, walking from A to B. So they thought “You know what …
If You Don’t Like The Song “Stayin’ Alive”, How About These?
Back a very very long time ago, I learned that if you ever have to do CPR and need a way to keep the compressions well-timed, you can use certain songs. At the time, the only one I had heard about was ‘stayin alive’. Now, I have found a whole medley of good CPR songs. …

Chain Of Fools
We were going to call this “MRI in the Mourning”, but I like my title better. Even so, have a song. I heard about this story of a dude with a weight training chain around his neck getting sucked into an MRI machine. I can only stammer and gape and wonder how this was allowed …
That Skunk Gave Me The Flu!
I haven’t written in a while, like 3 months, oops. So I thought I’d start with something silly. Did anyone else hear the song “Sad Songs Say So Much” and think it said “I’ll hold the skunk”? No? Just me? To be fair to myself, I was only 4 or 5 and the song was …
Election Info Such As It Is.
So here we are, the day before another election and I’m finally writing one of these posts. I usually try to write it before the advance polls, but the advance polls were mostly across Easter weekend and I was gone for Easter. Plus, for this election, there aren’t great accessible voting options for anyone who’s …
Sleep Talkin’ Six! It Seems A New Mask Is Not The Fix
It’s been a while since I’ve written one of these. Somehow, I’ve still been babbling lots in the night, so here’s another batch of what in the world is Carin talking about in her sleep? First, I said in the last one that I’d gotten a new mask and I was hoping for some peace …

So Long to Shmans And To One Of Her Old Buddies
Apparently, this is the newest Tansy favourite, so I had to put it up here. It sort of fits with some of her other ones. Sadly, that soundtrack is the last Tansy favourite song that we’re going to get, because she crossed over the rainbow bridge last month. It happened on March 14, but it …

Wow! Is That A Mockingbird?
There was this funny video that we couldn’t stop watching when we had Christmas with Steve’s family. It was only a short, but we couldn’t stop laughing. I think what made it even funnier was how hard Seppa laughed at it. First, he was just laughing because we were laughing…which made us laugh harder. Then …
Skidding In With Voting Info At The Last Minute
So…it’s provincial election time…way too soon. And here I am, doing my usual thing where I try to figure out voting details, especially where assistive voting is concerned. Here’s what I have learned. I even hassled some election office people to get some of this info, although I had to do a lot less hassling. …
