Just do your job (s).
Repair people, city workers, songwriters, concert presenters, spring flowers, sun, toothbrushes, wine, cats…I repeat: just do your job(s).
Groundhog
In addition to this being Groundhog Day, it’s also a Snow Day. They do it sensibly out here. Schools are closed. Liquor stores are open. Driving’s tough. A lot of all-season radials are crying on off-ramps. Fools! Even the good drivers stay put -a sensible caution-wanting to avoid the panicked drivers and the silly little [...]
Snowshoeing in the Highlands
Yesterday, in the Cape Breton Highlands, a friend and I show-shoed to the peak of French Mountain. We shuffled through fresh powdery snow, following the cut trail faithfully because of obvious foolishness of wandering off on one’s own. The only footprints we saw were that of moose, coyote and rabbit. – clear, clean registers, and [...]
Somehow, I managed to turn off the automatic forwarding system of Facebook. I didn’t intend to do this, but it’s happened. In order to make any changes, pick up messages (with the recent exception of the talented Jill Barber, whose messages find their way to my real email – this is a mystery) or hear [...]
Appliances, then and now.
Yesterday – and today, too – I washed and waxed the floors. I remember my mother doing this. I remember her answering the telephone and saying to a friend who, presumably, was asking what she did that day. “Oh, not too much,” she would say. “I washed and waxed the floors”. How long can it [...]
Floors and glasses.
I scrubbed my kitchen floor today and, as always, it looks exactly the same now as it did before I scrubbed it. I scrub on my hands and knees because I don’t think one can really clean a floor with a mop, unless one is not wearing their glasses. Without glasses, the kitchen floor looks pure [...]
Saving me time
Thanks to the Globe and Mail for saving me having to write this: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/car-life/road-sage/the-parking-lot-where-idiocy-is-king/article1664418/ See ya. But not in the parking lot.
Paint and radio
Our house is being painted. There’s a lovely man on a ladder outside my office window and he has a radio playing. I seldom listen to commercial radio, but now I can’t avoid it. There’s something outside the window that sounds like Harry Chapin’s “Cat’s In The Cradle”, but it’s a techno-pop arrangement. The singer [...]
She’s back
What a summer so far. Between the heat, humidity, torrential rains and company it’s been hard to sit down to the keyboard. The heat enervates, the humidity more so. The rains – well, as the great songwriter Roy Forbes says: the farmer needs the rain. The company welcome and easy. Going back to my week [...]
What’s happening and other mysteries.
My server has been acting up. Or out. Not sure which. Hoping this gets posted, though. It’s always amazing to me that when I’m doing a show with friends, my picture ends up being a scan of an older album. Why do I bother posting my high-res shots for download? Here’s some info re: my [...]
