Dinner Plans Changed
Donald, apparently I missed most of the excitement last night. I was watching Toy Story, with my grandkids, when I got a text, saying someone tried to kill the president. So, should I skip the rest of the movie or catch what’s happening on cable news? I compromised. I watched the rest of the movie…

Seriously?!!!
Mother Nature, you do realize it is April 24, correct? What is this white stuff doing on the ground? Give your head a freaking shake. I know that I live in Northern Alberta, but enough is enough. I know that April showers bring May flowers, but with this crap are we gonna be getting May…

Swalwell
Predator, narcissist, adulterer, self-centered. No, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. Well actually, those descriptions does fit Trump. But it is also applicable to Eric Swalwell. Just a week ago, he was riding high. He was running for governor of California. In some circles, he was favoured to win. He had Nancy Pelosi backing him.…

Time For A Change
Tonight, is the night, for most of us, where we will be losing an hour sleep. Pets across most of the country will be wondering why they are being fed an hour earlier tomorrow. Churches will be much quieter tomorrow morning with attendees still trying to wake up. Clocks will be leaping forward one hour…

FLOP
On a more serious note, Catherine O’Hara, passed away on the same day. She was a truly remarkable woman, and she deserves all the tributes, that are being paid to her. That’s all I have for today.

A Break
Taking a three day sleeper train ride from Toronto to Edmonton. No Internet for most of the ride. No cell phone service. As such no news to access. A nice way to take a break from the craziness that is going on in the world. Especially from the one person that rhymes with grump. Let’s…

Mother Nature Upset
Mother nature is showing her bad mommy side this weekend. More like an angry mommy. She is taking it out on those of us living south of the 49th parallel. Donald Trump you keep mocking her and this weekend she’s showing you who is the boss. Thousands of flights have already been cancelled. Ted Cruz…

Stranger Things
I watched the final episode of Stranger Things, yesterday. Without spoiling it for anybody, the ending wasn’t quite as happy as I hoped it would be. I went to social media to see what other others thought of the final episode. I ran across one post, that I posted above above. To say that it…
