By junior on November 11, 2008, at 6:45 pm All-time world champion non sequitur (in that, in addition to being unrelated to the topic, it “follows” nothing): My Dad, who seems to be working hard to secure a position as worldwide press agent for HiR:tb, tells me that there’s an army of people out there reading the blog and enjoying what I write.

By junior on November 8, 2008, at 7:27 pm The General and Norte have both written about Maple Leaf Gardens recently; meanwhile Sean is in the middle of a series consisting of a Clark¹ of posts concerning the greatness that was the Man from Kelvington. A discussion has been raging over at PPP about the proper placement of Mats Sundin in the Maple Leaf […]
By junior on August 29, 2008, at 9:21 am From email correspondence with my friend Todd:
Todd: On an unrelated note, I was reading the messianic praise of Obama’s speech, and in the article in The Star was a quote from Reagan in the 80’s. He described the Afghans battling the Russian invaders as “freedom fighters”. It confused me. I thought that the term […]
By junior on June 25, 2008, at 10:14 pm The other day, as Spouse and I were returning home from work, we were driving along a portion of the Steel City roadways that consisted of a fairly abrupt and steep descent. The road was dipping in this extreme fashion to permit passage beneath a rail bridge. There was a diamond shaped sign showing a […]
By junior on June 10, 2008, at 7:55 pm A while back, you may remember that I posted about a project that peach was putting together. It’s a book called “You’re Not the Only One“, and it was put together for a UK – based charity called War Child (though there is also a Canadian arm of the organization). War Child is a charity […]
By junior on June 1, 2008, at 9:15 am Going from a one-and-a-half storey house with a shared driveway and a lawn that could be re-sodded with sprigs of parsley to the sprawling pastoral beauty of Juniorvania was bound to mean that a much more substantial portion of our lives was going to be consumed by mowing. We were, accordingly, excited to obtain (in […]
By junior on May 31, 2008, at 3:34 pm Spouse and I implemented the Juniorvanian National Plan for Tractor Reconstruction today, which is to say that we headed off to the local John Deere dealer and plunked down a fat wad of cash for one of these bad boys:
It is a John Deere X300 lawn tractor. I have […]
By junior on May 18, 2008, at 3:37 pm Taking a break from my Air Traffic Control duties for a moment, I was munching away on some breakfast cereal yesterday. I had let my eyes wander to the side of the cereal box on the table in front of me, and I had drifted into that eyes glazed over, staring into the half-distance kind […]

By junior on May 5, 2008, at 9:19 pm If a person were attempting to describe my day yesterday in monster-movie terms (and I’m guessing there’s more than one of you out there who does this regularly), it would have been called “Junior vs. The Pond: The Draininating of the Slime”.
Juniorvania is mostly a land-locked little paradise, having few riparian rights to speak […]
