What Canadian cultural treasure will reveal itself first from behind the tiny cardboard door of the calendar today? Please let it be rock’n’roll… It is! It is rock’n’roll! The Tragically Hip‘s song “Thompson Girl” from their most awesome album Phantom Power was released in 1998. According to Wikipedia, it won the 1999 Juno Awards for […]

Hello and happy Valentine’s Day! It’s a celebration that means nearly nothing to me, but it is fun to gather up a collection of Valentine’s Day images and thoughts. Wait a minute.

A Post About Nothing

Hi there! Welcome to this re-post about nothing in particular. I posted this upon returning from beautiful Mazátlan, Sinaloa, at the start of this very long global pandemic.

Through the windows I could see the tables and chairs stacked up, wide yellow tape surrounding them as if it were a crime scene.

Lately, I’ve been dreaming about cats. The other night I dreamt that a half-grown grey cat brought a small mouse into the garage where I was working. The cat set the dead mouse down a couple metres from me (physically distancing herself) and began picking away delicately at the rodent. Soon after, another cat, […]
Hard-Won Happiness

I was just thinking about how it doesn’t feel much like Easter. When I woke up this morning, some dry snowflakes were drifting down from the lead-grey sky, and that felt about right. It’s been a mixed time in my life. I myself, this being, am just fine. I’m healthy, occupied enough, and enjoying my […]
