I have this song in my head, a lot, and it’s a not bad tune. The only weird thing is her voice sounds like what would happen if you gave a squirrel the powers of speech, but hey, her voice is growing on me. The problem is I really don’t know what it’s saying. We …

Great Gobs Of Tansy Updates, Part III
Here is my last batch of Tansy observations, these are things I noticed she learned while I was dealing with the captain. Here was a sad pattern that I noticed Tansy would pick up on. Before I was ill, as soon as I would finish brushing my teeth, she would go nuts. This was because …
Great Gobs Of Tansy Updates, Part II
I still have a mountain of Tansy-related ideas. Let’s keep truckin’. In another post, I said I wanted to train Tansy to come to a whistle. Well, a week later, I got to see how I was doing. And wow, it was powerful. I would blow that whistle, and Tansy would move heaven and earth …
Great Gobs of Tansy Updates, Part I
I’m terribly behind on Tansy updates. It’s bad. How can I go for 6 months without writing a Tansy post? Oh, well, I did have the captain chasing me around for 4 of those months. Well, I guess it’s time to catch up now. This might take a couple of posts. Tansy has inherited some …
Goodbye Lynne.
Well, it looks like it’s time for me to write one of these. Back when I had the whole gallbladder saga, I spent 8 days in the hospital. a lot of people shared my room, but a lot of them were just coming out of surgery or just about to leave, so I didn’t really …
My Tangle With Tripe
Holy crap, I think this is the first audio from our Kitchener place. Isn’t that scary? A little background. A while ago, Brad took a gamble and bought these cans of tripe to feed Trix along with her regular food. What is tripe? Well, basically the stomach of an animal that eats grass and things. …
The Hounds On The Bus Say “That’s My Stop,” All Around The Town.
I saw this story of a dog who rides the bus to the dog park alone, and I smiled, even though I had lots of questions, which have been answered. None of them, by the way are how does she know where to get off? Both Tansy and Trix would indicate when we had arrived …

Now His Friends Can Call Him A Heartless Individual And They’re Not Wrong
Have another soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn9DBfXQumk I could groove to this forever. Wow, what we can do with technology, like cram a life-saving compressor into a backpack. This guy has no human heart, just an artificial heart and tubes in his chest leading to a compressor on his back. When I first read this, I thought they …

Be My Eyes: More Eyeballs In A Box
Inexplicable soundtrack. Whenever I think about this service, this song appears. So hey, why not? So there’s a new iPhone app that’s just out and seems pretty cool. They should have called it Echosensible…because it’s EchoSense without all the bullshit. It’s called Be My Eyes. Every time I hear the name, I chuckle. Years ago, …
2014: Goodbye And Good Riddance
It’s mid January, and I feel like I have to write the usual holiday wrap-up/year in review post. I feel like this will be the shortest one ever because both the holidays, and the year, feel like they have been snatched and tainted. Getting to my family’s Christmas was coloured with a bit of Carin-style …
