Well, it’s official. my limping computer can’t limp anymore. It is a large paperweight. Today, it shut off three times while I was trying to click links. The third time, it would not turn on. the other times, I had to reach back and hit the direct power switch that supplied the juice to the …

It’s Not Quite The Same
So Track & Field has finally gotten started in Beijing and I can’t help but notice a rather obvious absence from Team Canada… and it’s not someone you might think. This is the first time in my lifetime that I have sat down to watch an Olympic Games, or really any major Canadian sporting event, …
Goodbye George
I’m sure many of you have heard by now that George Carlin, arguably the greatest comic of all time, died yesterday at age 71. Right from the day that one of my friends snuck me a copy of the A Place for My Stuff album when I was 10 years old, Carlin became one of …
Chris Benoit
Carin told me I should write something about the Chris Benoit situation. She’s right and I was planning on it, but even though you’re reading what I’ve come up with, I really have no idea what to say. I don’t even know what to think at this point. I’m reading what comes out just like …
That’s Not Supposed to be How the Story Ends!
Wow. This just doesn’t seem fair. Remember all the difficulties Laura Baily had in keeping her seat on city council? Well, while I was gone to Guide Dog school, she lost a battle with cancer and passed away. It doesn’t seem like the right ending to that story, does it?

R.I.P, Richard Jeni
I was saddened to hear about the weekend suicide of Richard Jeni, who was without a doubt one of the world’s greatest comedians. I’ve noticed a few searches in our stats looking for information on what happened to him, so I thought I would print this statement from his family. A statement from the family …
Gimme One More Shot
Well holy shit it’s my birthday! I wasn’t even going to mention it, I was just going to let it slip by, because I’m not one to brag and stuff, and I’m starting to turn into my mom, not wanting to bring up my own birthday. I used to always look at her like she …
A Black Day
I apologize if this post doesn’t make much sense. I’m in a bit of a haze, but I need to try and write something because a. something’s telling me I should and b. I like to have things up on the blog when they happen so they’re there to look back on. This is a …
Goodbye, Debbie Scales
Probably nobody who reads this will care about what I’m about to write, but I guess that’s never stopped me before, has it? I just learned that Debbie Scales, who used to run the JFWLite mailing list, and created the JFWLite website, has died. I always knew she had health problems, and that was part …
