Two syllables…

I know you’re all bored with this topic; and no, it’s not the election, which I’m also bored with – it’s the other thing, the one that’s increasingly defining our era and whose far-reaching consequences aren’t fully discernible even by those who understand it, among whom I count myself – the...

R.I.P. Leonard Cohen, 1934 – 2016

Your poetry, your songs and your singing will remain with me, as they will with all of us who admired you… Sign in to see full entry.

Some years ago I posted a list…

It was a list of my favourite women, and among them was Ayaan Hirsi Ali. (Of course that list included all the Blogitville women, even if I’m scared of some of them – such as Kabu, who comes sweeping in on her broom occasionally, even carrying along some of the others…) I was tremendously impressed...

Idle thoughts while riding the train…

Sorry – haven’t been around much since I’ve been fairly busy, going into town… When the need arises for visiting Toronto, the pulsing heart of this area if not the country, even a resident of the GTA is faced with the question – car or train? Most of the time I opt for my car – I like driving and... Sign in to see full entry.

Doggie Problems…IV

I know you want to hear about my Bennie – and I won’t keep you in suspense but give you the good news right away – he’s really much better! We did have a couple of very bad days, and even Thursday was a false dawn – he clearly was in much pain. On Friday morning we still drove to the park, but... Sign in to see full entry.

Doggie Problems…III

Sorry, folks, I haven't been around much - neither reading nor posting. My Bennie took a turn for the worse, and the last couple of days have been very unpleasant, especially since I had other things to look after as well. However, today he seems to be better, and I'll try and catch up reading your... Sign in to see full entry.

Congrats to the Cubs...

...and all those who rooted for them! What a game! My temporarily adopted team lost - boohoo, but next year my real team, the Toronto Blue Jays, shall sweep all before them... Sign in to see full entry.

Doggie Problems…II

First – thanks to all of you who dropped in, expressed your concern and wished my Bennie well. I told him there are many people out there who hope he’ll recover soon, and he says ‘woof’… Next – yes, he is getting better, though it’ll take a little while longer before he’ll be ‘out of the woods’,...

Doggie Problems…

Many of you know of my beautiful doggie Ben, who’s been a great joy and a lot of fun to me and all of this family for years now, ever since I ‘rescued’ him from unpleasant circumstances that were never totally explained to me. Yesterday he injured his left front leg and can barely walk. It happened... Sign in to see full entry.

Once more with feeling – Response to Comments Day.

Even though my readership has shrunk considerably over the last couple of years, I still get more comments than I could possibly hope to answer on a regular basis. I don’t know how those who do answer everything manage it – at the very least they probably type faster than I can; I’m a lousy typist!... Sign in to see full entry.
