I took a bit of heat in the comments, mostly from loving family members, about my failure to accurately forecast the result of Super Bowl XLII. I was attempting to think of a witty and incisive comeback to silence my detractors but the Juniorbrain was not providing. Instead, therefore, I took to surfing the ‘Net […] Spouse and I just finished watching the last two episodes of The Wire (Season 2). Awesome. Episode 10 has this one moment, a plot twist that neither of us saw coming in the least until it was happening, and the twist was so sudden and shocking, so enthralling (even though it concerns one of […] Shovelling again tonight – just enough to make a path for the dog to get in and out of the house – and by the looks of things, again tomorrow morning if we’re going to get the car out of the driveway and make it to work. I feel the pressure starting to mount nowadays […] It’s been a little busy around here this past week. Spouse and I were away the week before last attending a funeral in Northern Ontario. We got snowed in up there and missed an extra day of work as a result. When we got back to work, a couple of days went by and Spouse […] No time for reasoned analysis – there are still too many household chores and tasks to be completed before I can settle in front of the big screen and watch me some Super Bowl, but here’s my prediction, for what it’s worth: Patriots 27 Giants 19.

We expect to be out of town for a couple of days so that we can attend the funeral on Tuesday afternoon. Cherish the time you have with loved ones; never pass up an […] I got an email from Ticketmaster the other day, one of the thirty or forty thousand they send me every year asking me to attend everything from the Backyardigans (um, dude, I don’t have any kids, which would make it Michael Jackson creepy for me to be hanging around that show) to various military tattoos […] Walking to work today, Spouse and I passed a very large man who was animatedly talking to his own upraised right hand. I turned to Spouse and asked whether she had seen it. She had. I asked whether she thought it strange. “Yes,” she said, “but he didn’t seem upset or angry. Just chatty.” True […] HIR:tb is back, after a brief but spirited match with an ambitious and highly mischievious bunch of technical gremlins.
