Because I’m an optimist for thinking I would need this sooner than later, and a weirdo for liking to plan ahead, I decided to set up my profile on ArriveCAN. I tried once, but it assumed I was traveling right then, and wanted me to start filling out a big ol’ form. But later, I …

The Other Log Driver’s Song!
When Steve wrote about the Log Driver’s Waltz, I kept saying to him that that’s not the log driver’s song I remember. And today, Google has told me that I am in fact not nuts. There’s another one, specific to the Ottawa Valley. Oh yes…that’s the one. Hmmm…I’m getting a flow of memories…of me being …
Hmmm…Here Comes Another Year…
So…um…2021 was a thing. It happened. Now it’s over, and I’m not really sure what to say about it, even though it’s now the beginning of 2022 and I should probably reflect on the year that was. It started off crappy, but the possibility of vaccines was there and I thought things would look up …
We Wish Everyone A Merry Everything…If That’s Even Possible These Days
I wish you…all the luck getting this song out of your head. So…as far as we know, we’re getting on the train tomorrow at noon. We know that at any moment before that, the trip could be cancelled, either by Via Rail or by us if we decide we can’t do it for whatever reason. …

You’d Better Watch Out Indeed

I Have Been Boosted, Hopefully Not Busted
Not much to say except I got my COVID booster, so take that, piece of crap Omicron variant…and all the other variants too. I was lucky. I could walk to a pharmacy who was giving out boosters, so I got an appointment and zoinked one. I had to get Moderna, so now I’ve had two …

It Sounds Like A Miserable Holiday
For years, around Christmas, I would hear this song, but I’d always catch it way too late. I would hear it say something about throwing stones, and then I would hear creepy drums marching off into the distance and it would seem sinister and evil. I would always wonder what the heck it was called …
Carol Of The…Hell!
Aww. What a beautiful song. Aaaaa! That changes everything! *shiver*
Christmas Is Saved!
I have needed to sing the praises of Mastermind toys for a long time now. Let me be clear. I need to sing the praises of the people who run the stores and the people who manage the website and run the chat on it. The rest of the site design, despite the fact that …
Nights In The Lab…
guh. It’s almost the end of my vacation, and I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck. Did I do anything super duper exciting? Nope. But I did have to go for a sleep study. I still feel like I’m recovering. “So what the heck is a sleep study?” I hear you ask. …
