Boy oh boy do I have a monstrosity for you! Remember how we said our Canada Day audio would never be heard by the world? Well, that still holds, so we decided to try again. And we created something even longer and crazier than that one! We didn’t mean to, honest. We just sat down …

Observations From The Train
We took a train yesterday to meet some of Steve’s family at a spot half-way between us and them. We got to the station really early, partly because we took the bus there and buses only run every half-hour, and partly because the train got delayed. Here were some of the things we saw or …
Eyebrow-Raising Customer Service
I had something happen to me last night that I thought deserved a mention. I went into a convenience store that I know well so I could buy milk. It’s the convenience store near where I used to live when I lived next to the cool neighbour before he passed away and I experienced Stupidhead …
Truckin’
Hey there nice trucker guy who is sitting idling in a parking lot, apparently waiting for me to step off the curb and cross it. Can I come talk to you? I need to explain something to you. I really appreciate the gesture of you waiting for me so I can cross, but we have …
Touchy Subject
I had something happen to me yesterday that I thought deserved a blog post. I went to the post office to mail something. When I left, I told Trixie to find the door. She walked over to what she thought was the door, but it wasn’t. A person came over and said they’d help me …
Hey, Blind-Lookin’, Whatcha Got Cookin’?
I was going to write this down yesterday, but my brain just could not think about writing for some reason. I was out at a volunteer appreciation gathering Tuesday night at the place where I go help that guy learn how to type. There was lots of food and lots of people and everyone seemed …
Happy Belated Birthday Trix
Ok, here comes the post in honour of Trix’s birthday. On April 9, she turned 5. My pooch is 5! Nobody believes me that she’s that old, but she is. I can scarcely believe that it’s been three years that I’ve had her. But the blog doesn’t lie, hahah! So let’s do a general update. …
Talking Blind Man’s Blues
Jen sent me something that I think needs a spot up on this old blog. I give you the Talking Blind Man’s Blues. It says it’s by Chrissie Cochrane, but I swear Chrissie a. is female and b. doesn’t sound like that. But it’s a good song and it made me chuckle. And it also …
>Booboo Dog Gets A Post
>I’m feeling all sappy about the Trixter, so I thought I’d write about her. I would have had this up yesterday, but it got kinda busy and I ran out of time. I don’t know if I’ve ever written about how much cooler it is to go to the mall with a dog than it …
Trixie Waggles Onto the Blog Again
I’ve been meaning to write a little dog post for a while now. The apartment building is getting a whole new carpet on all the floors. So, they have completely ripped up the carpet in the hall. They’re fast for sure, they’re already laying underpad today. I wasn’t sure what Trix would think of the …
