By junior on February 1, 2009, at 1:27 pm No time for reasoned analysis again this year, I have too much to accomplish before settling down in front of the big game.
I was initially leaning toward the Cardinals, on the theory that nobody expected them to beat the Steelers, which makes them a mortal lock to do so. On further reflection, however, it […]
By junior on January 31, 2009, at 11:14 pm Spouse and I headed out today with Popeye in tow for a walk in the winter woods. There are a lot of pretty well-known birding areas not far from the borders of Juniorvania, perfect destinations for wintry perambulations. The F.W.R. Dickson Wilderness Area is a beautiful little plot of land that is the site of […]
By junior on January 27, 2009, at 11:12 pm Credit me this much: tonight, I did the food preparation thing without a recipe. Yup, workin’ without a net.
No don’t go getting too excited, it wasn’t anything terribly complicated. Tonight’s offering was tandoori chicken, which I made by lathering a pre-mixed tandoori paste (store bought) with some plain yoghurt (as per the directions on […]
By junior on January 24, 2009, at 6:24 pm I meant to post about this right after Christmas, but I kept forgetting to take the necessary photograph. Once I finally took the picture, the immediacy of the holiday season had passed and I found myself hemming and hawing about whether this was still of interest. Better late than never, says the old aphorism, so […]
By junior on January 23, 2009, at 8:59 am LIstening to CBC radio this morning on the way in to work, and there was mention of some concert or other taking place at Hugh’s Room in Toronto. Spouse told me that she had been to Hugh’s Room once, several years ago, to see some “singing fishermen group”
My quizzical look was a silent entreaty […]
By junior on January 20, 2009, at 11:30 pm Okay, so you’re the Chief Justice of the United States of America. You have a sweet job. You’ve got a nifty black robe, an excellent seat for the festivities, and exactly one function to discharge for the entire day. That function consists of correctly reciting thirty-five extremely well-known words: the Oath of Office for the […]
By junior on January 19, 2009, at 11:14 pm Spouse and I were late going to work this morning, as planned – Spouse had a date with a masked man intent on drilling holes in her teeth; meanwhile, I was waiting at home for delivery of some exercise equipment we ordered.
It was an odd start to the day, because the delivery truck driver […]
By junior on January 14, 2009, at 10:34 pm When we got home tonight, Spouse had plans to head out on a shopping excursion: with the cold weather upon us (and how), she had decreed that new boots and a particularly warm pair of “barn gloves” were needed for the nights she spends visiting Ralph.
That plan went sideways though, shortly after we arrived […]
By junior on January 12, 2009, at 10:11 pm A quick post today; I was back to work for the first time in three glorious weeks, and I have to admit that it only took about two hours of the chaos inherent in office life to get me pining nostalgically for my morning cup of tea in the living room with the cat purring […]
By junior on January 11, 2009, at 9:42 pm We had a truly Canadian evening last night. It was snowing quite hard in the early evening, starting around 6:30 or so, and Spouse and I had earlier determined that we would be attending the hockey game between the St. George Dukes (a local team in the Southern Ontario Junior Hockey League) and the defending […]
