Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I think a lot of our regular readers remember Ann Adams, right? She’s got lots of comments on here, and often, her and Steve talk baseball. She’s been a loyal fan of ours for about 10 years or so. Holy crap that’s a long time. I thought I might meet her when I went to …

I don’t know why I didn’t write about this last week when it happened, but better late than never. Last Friday, Friday the 13th, I became an aunt. Yup, my brother and his wife are now the proud parents of an adorable little boy. I don’t have his picture, although it’s up on Facebook, I …
My grandma’s funeral was last Thursday, and as of about 2:30 that afternoon I can no longer say I’ve never spoken at one. What a strange feeling it was. Not the speaking itself, aside from the setting I’m used to that. The strange part was the feeling I had when it was over. I didn’t …
It’s mid January, and I feel like I have to write the usual holiday wrap-up/year in review post. I feel like this will be the shortest one ever because both the holidays, and the year, feel like they have been snatched and tainted. Getting to my family’s Christmas was coloured with a bit of Carin-style …
Since I’m’ posting this today, this song makes a good soundtrack. Yeah, it’s December 23 and I don’t know where the time has gone. Somehow, despite my battles with the captain, I still managed to get my Christmas shopping done, although it was a little closer to the wire than I would have liked…and the …
I’ve always thought of Toronto as a city that I love visiting, but would absolutely never want to live in. There’s so much to see and do, but it’s just way too huge and loud and scary and whatnot for my taste. Hey, cut me some slack. When I was a kid I spent years …
I meant to write about this one last week when it happened, but…you can blame the captain, Captain Nameless Illness. By the way, the captain may be getting a name soon, and thankfully, if this is its name, it’s nothing scary and eek-inducing. But I can’t say for sure yet if that’s its name, I …
No, that’s not the start of a bad joke. We’re actually curious. Carin and I were having breakfast and chatting as usual when I made a comment that somebody was “a rapist at worst and an…assaulter? at best.” It occurred to us that if there’s a word for someone who commits assaults, neither of us …

Well, this year, our attempts to get poppies were much less painful than last year. The bank across the street actually had them, so we didn’t have to go on a puppy hunt. But I still have a heck of a time not losing my poppy. There’s nothing worse than lum dee dumming down the …
When this whole Jian Ghomeshi thing broke, I said to a friend, no matter how this shakes out, it’s not gonna end well for somebody.” Um, that would be a yup. Now I find that it won’t leave me alone, and it’s moved beyond anything rational, so I hope that maybe, if I write about …
