I almost wrote a post about my night full of horrifying and weird dreams yesterday but it got beyond twisted very fast and I just don’t know if people want to read about a human jack-o-lantern. Instead, a photo to tide you over: Share the post “Morning Magic… at Midnight” FacebookXShare… Continue reading
A very good song. The Racoons – Tangiers (Listen) More tomorrow when the weather is still slightly pretty but not as warm. Share the post “Garth’s Choice” FacebookXShare… Continue reading

I just don’t get Coldplay. Chris Martin is adorable and clever and has a very pretty voice, yes, but for the life of me I can’t love his band. That “Paradise” song (assuming it’s called that, I don’t even want to bother to consult Google with this) has its moments, and I think “Clocks” was good years ago, but I just do not comprehend the passion some people have deep in their souls for this band. I mean, I’m sure it’s the exact thing they’d … Continue reading

More outdoor mealtime was had tonight. Grilled corn on the cob spiced with chili powder. Delicious! After dinner the task was to install the new and as yet un-torn top of the gazebo. This challenge was accepted and abandoned with the realization that there is no way the thing goes on without even a bit of tearing. During our hmming and hawing, two doors west, a dad fiddling with something in his driveway was saying to his daughter “there must be a wire disconnected or … Continue reading
Okay so I have not spent the morning picking up sticks and weird long bean strings from the back yard as I had hoped to, and do you know why? I am addicted to sleep. Or maybe just the compensation of sleep that seems to come in the mornings as a result of tossing and turning at night. I miss my cheap bed. This new plushy one with all the fixins just isn’t doing it for me. I’m not as stiff as I was before, … Continue reading
It must be summer in March because I am the whiniest person ever to be stuck indoors at a job this week. Spoiled with two barbecues over the weekend, I now want all my meals cooked over a flame and served outside. Today I had to eat processed crap from the food court (normally not up my alley, but fine nonetheless). So disappointing. This is the year we are spoiled, people. Let’s slather on the sunscreen in March for once, while it lasts. Tomorrow I … Continue reading
I already have the itches. We first spotted mosquitoes at my parents’ house in their back yard on Thursday night, March 15. This marks probably the earliest I can recall in a year for these pests but it really isn’t surprising after a winter mild as it was. Either this will be a remarkably long summer or we’ll be seeing snow in August, and if that’s the case I am out of here, Canada. I can handle a few mosquitoes though, if it’s the situation … Continue reading
Having always lived here, the fascination with Niagara Falls to tourists has always been a foreign (heh) concept. We live right beside a place everyone in the world can only hear about or see on TV and no one really cares. For many who live here, it’s over-hyped for what it is. Miklos, on the other hand, came here when he was a boy and still loves the Falls even though he’s probably driven by and seen them hundreds of times more than the people … Continue reading
