A few days ago, somebody posted a link to this mystery record from Mad Magazine. I guess it had eight different endings, and depending on how the needle hit the record, a different one would play. Apparently, some of them were really hard to trigger. Actually they posted this version where the beginning played again …

Poor Jerry Osiris
I don’t often write about books, but I want to write about this one. Back in early August, I was ready to start a new book, so I looked through my library, and found this one called How High We Go in the Dark. I had bought it a while ago, and couldn’t remember what …
By The Time I Get A Kleenex…
After I went home for Thanksgiving and saw some of my nephews, I got thinking about stuff I used to think as a kid. Then the song “By the Time I get to Phoenix” floated through my head. One radio DJ called it “By the time I get a kleenex.” When I first heard that …
Kitchener Municipal Voting Info
So the municipal election is coming up soon. I’m a big loser and am writing this post now, as opposed to earlier so it could be more helpful. But I guess today is still an advance voting day, so if you like to vote in advance…run! You can either vote today, or on Election day, …
Everybody Who Feels So Inclined, Sing Along!
Listen up, universe. Open up your ears and get an earful of this, because you need it. After the week I’ve had, this song seems very very appropriate. And it feels good to sing it! If I don’t, I might just be reduced to a sobbing heap. One person going through a cancer surgery and …

You Want To Be a What For Halloween?
I can’t stop watching this video. It fills me with so much joy. I only hope that some day, I can make just one of my nephews this happy. https://www.tiktok.com/@sierramiller086/video/7142523676066565422 If you’re wondering what the heck that kid is saying, it’s Quetzalcoatlus, a giant prehistoric flying thing I’ve never heard of, but this kid wanted …
Go, Dog, Go.
Back at the beginning of the pandemic, I kept hearing about tons of people adopting pets because they were feeling alone and isolated. I said to Steve, “How long until the surrenders start?” Aren’t I the optimistic sort? If we had stopped time when this piece was written, everybody could laugh at me and say …
Incorrect Error Message
So I’ve found another flaw in that smart laundry system I love to hate. They have these value codes you can buy online and add on to your laundry card so you only have to minimally interact with the laundry card topper upper machine, which works for me, since working with that thing is a …
All About Soul-Searching
Steve and I were talking the other day…maybe some news story came on about how many couples didn’t make it in the pandemic or something, and I got thinking about a song I haven’t thought about in years. “All About Soul” by Billy Joel. and suddenly, a memory came rushing back to me. I’m sitting …
