Spouse and I were on the way home from work last night. It was a Bad Day At The Office for both of us, and we were verging on homicidal as we made our way home in sullen silence. We were stopped at a traffic light, awash in our misanthropy, when we both became aware […]

I’ve been reading Catch-22 as part of NaNoReMo. One of my virtual book club companions has complained, over at defective yeti, that the discussion to date has been a little shallow. Quoth Anneke: I’m enjoying the book on the surface, but I’ve never been part of a book discussion where participants simply report on whether […] Okay, so there has been a slight hitch in my plan to blog along with Matthew about my progress through this year’s selection for National Novel Reading Month (NaNoReMo) – Catch 22. When the winning book was announced, I reflected rather smugly to myself about how easy this was going to be to follow along. […] Favourite moment from the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Horse Show, this past Friday afternoon: A demonstration of fox hunting was being given in the Ricoh Coliseum before an audience of perhaps seven thousand somewhat bemused spectators in attendance to watch show jumping competitions. The fox hunting demonstration involved several horses ridden by the various guys […] November 1st has arrived, and with the coming of November is the Royal Winter Fair. Spouse and I are in the Big Smoke to take in the agricultural and equine fesitivites. This is my first time staying in the City as a guest for any protracted length of time since I left in 1998.

For the Luddites in the virtual room (yo, represent) that means […] As mentioned on the sidebar, one of the sites I occasionally visit – okay, “haunt daily” is defective yeti. Your amiable host at dy is Matthew Baldwin, whose great sense of humour permeates the entire site. He occasionally shares a little bit of his own satirical writing. If you check out the site, be sure […] While I can, I need to get at it and start talking some smack about one of my Rotisserie hockey teams. This year marks the return of a family-based hockey pool in our clan. The draft was Thursday night, and my charges were quick off the mark when league play officially began last evening. As […] Atlanta Thrashers’ centreman Bobby Holik was interviewed by Paul Hendrick on Sportsnet’s broadcast of the Leafs-Thrashers game tonight. It was suggested to Holik that both teams were doing everything they could to shoot themselves in the foot with an inordinate amount of sloppy play. Said Holik: “We don’t have any feet left that we can […] Admittedly, it is difficult to point to a document entitled “Barry Melrose Rocks” with a straight face and claim some sort of vindication. Nevertheless, on the subject of Bryan McCabe, I plan to do so. Here is what was recently written on that site concerning the Leaf blueliner: …Toronto running Bryan McCabe out of town. […] |
