Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I came across this press release about the CNIB starting up a guide dog program, and I was sceptical, to be generous. To be more accurate, I checked my calendar to verify that it wasn’t April 1, because I was sure this was some kind of elaborate joke. But after I saw this video, the …

I am so overdue on doggy talk, and we just marched through that time of the year where there is a cluster of dog anniversaries for both Trix and Tans, so it’s a good time to talk about both beasts. Well, I guess I can officially stop worrying about Tans pulling a LaniJo. She has …
So I joined a book club. I need to write a whole post about that, but the reason I mention it is someone else in the book club wants to do a triathlon. Go her. I take my hat off to anyone who can do all of that. But, she’s been at this for a …

I figure I might as well ruin two songs with this case. Remember the story about the guy getting shot with an arrow? Well, a few days ago, Eric Amaral pleaded guilty, and is going away for a long time. When they charged him with the murder, there was a small part of me that …
So apparently, there are a lot of seniors with STD’s now, and it’s not something that’s getting talked about. So, Dr. Shannon Dowler wrote a rap song about it…which is pretty damn good. I have to say that I’m feeling pretty old, because “Ice Ice Baby” was picked as a song that is supposed to …
