I have to write about this, because I ran into two creepy instances of this in two days. Yesterday, when I was finally updating the singing screen readers post, I was trying to look up Chris Skarstad’s name. I knew the probability was good that I would screw it up. I stumbled across his Twitter …

Happy Early Birthday
Sounds like Gill had a pretty good birthday. By the way, here’s a fun fact for you. I have actually played in a band that included Al Connelly, the guitarist for Glass Tiger, and Atilla Turi, one of the drummers from The Kings. A buddy of mine was friendly with the singer in a cover …
Happy Birthday From Big Tech And Big Insurance. And From Mom, Eventually
Pretty sure I’m going to know exactly when Carin sees this post. I’ll be able to tell by the “WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTT!” that’s going to overwhelm any and all sound in a 12 mile radius when she finds out that this woman has spent years not knowing when her own child’s birthday is and arguing with people …

We’re Old Enough To Vote. Woe
I could hardly believe it when it hit me, but today this place turns 18 years old. Seriously, what the hell? Where did all that time go? I’ll spare you all the stuff about how much the world has changed since we started. We’ve done that before and I’m sure we’ll do it again. I’ll …
Delivering A Christmas Post, Because I’m Not UPS
As I sit here the day after Steve’s birthday, I feel a bit bewildered. How did we get here? The year went fast, but it feels especially fast since this year had no great big fun events since March. Wow, I totally suck and never commented on Steve turning 40 last year. I guess to …

Happy Birthday To Me, Part Two
Gill recently talked about some of the garbage birthdays she’s had. She’s now sent in a bit about a few of her better ones to balance things out. I’m glad they didn’t all suck. I wrote a few days ago of my worst birthdays, but let’s hop the bus to the positive side of town. …
Happy Birthday To Me!
No, not me. My birthday is in December. The birthday in question is Gill’s. It happened over the weekend and she’s got a somewhat interesting take on it. Basically, 2020 is a strange time, but things have been worse. I’ve had about as many birthdays as she has, and I can’t think of one that …
Well, He Did Ask For A Maple Leaf Cake…
https://www.facebook.com/tania.levesque.50/posts/10157458190500862 A Mascouche, Que., family is laughing off an error by their local bakery that marred their son’s eighth birthday celebration last weekend. They had requested a cake with the Toronto Maple Leafs logo for Jacob, a diehard Leafs fan — just like the cake he’d received for previous birthdays. Jacob’s stepmother, Tania Lévesque, said the bakery told her …
40 Years
Haven’t heard from Gill in a while, but she wrote in yesterday, which happened to be her 40th birthday. Turns out it’s also right around the 40th birthday of a friend of hers, and she wrote this about the very different lives they’ve lived. All of the happy birthdays and well wishes from us here, …
A History Of The Birth Of MuchMusic
Before Bell converted it into a dumping ground for stuff moved off of the Comedy Network in order to make room for even more Big Bang Theory reruns, MuchMusic was a very important, you might even say revolutionary TV channel. It was, as its name suggests, a music station. 24 hours a day, 7 days …
