Well, here’s the update to the glass-throwing hooligans story. This morning, bright and early, Steve and I headed out to the bank. We were merrily walking up the street, when ker-runch! What did I kick? What did I step in? but glass! Thankfully, it was me who hit it, and not Trixie, but I think …

Idiots!
Grrr. Even though I’m calmer now, I’m still fuming. Fume fume fuming. I took Trixie out for her final business. Just before she did it, I heard a ker smash! Some pea-brained numbnut toolchest asshole decided that it would be jolly good fun to heave a beer bottle from his balcony toward the street. Oh …
Congraduations
I want to take a quick moment to give a big thumbs up to my brother and sister who both graduated this month. My sister from college with all the qualifications one needs to get beaten up by the elderly, and my brother from high school right into a sweet job (see what I did …
Blind Paranoia
This morning, I was struck by how paranoid some blinks are about being robbed. Maybe I’ve just been extremely lucky or something, but I don’t understand this intense fear. I’m on a listserve for people who want to talk about the Talks program, the thing that makes my cellphone talk. I forget how this whole …
Am I Weird For Thinking This Is Funny?
I had this happen to me the other day when I took that big walk, and woohoo, didn’t meet my doom by falling down a giant hole in the street or getting creamed by a Tim Horton’s customer because I mocked God. Anyway, I got to an intersection, and for some reason, it was kinda …
Think Of The Children…Or I’ll Punt You In The Nuts
I love it when unrest happens right in my own back yard, though I guess in my case it would be parking lot. I was typing something up a few minutes ago when what sounded like a commotion caught my attention, so I stepped out to investigate. I’m glad I did, because we now have …

>I Don’t Know…Stuff!
>I’ve been meaning to write this thought pile down for a while, but for some reason, I just couldn’t get started. Even now, it isn’t flowing like it usually does. Oh well, hopefully it will pick up before it’s done. I can’t believe I’m halfway through that French class I joined. Things are going very …
Um, Oops
Wow! Without even meaning to, I just broke a kid’s heart! Hopefully I managed to put it back together. I took Trixie out for her usual business routine. As we come out the door, we usually go up to the left into the bushes. If we cut to the left too soon, we hit a …
Parlez-Vous Français?
Remember back when I said I was going to take a conversational French class? Well, today I started it, and although we had a couple of bumps, I think dear old French teacher and I are going to get along fine. First, let me describe my entrance to the class, because it was, well, unceremonious. …
Either Phones Are Getting Worse, Or I’m A Chronic Mumbler.
This has happened to me twice now. I ordered two different things from the states from two different companies, and I ordered them both over the phone. In both cases, when I said Guelph, they wrote down “Guelth!” I even spelled it, and they still thought my p was a t! Do I mumble that …
