So here we are. I’ll be in a cab headed to Oregon to get guide dog no. 4 in a couple of hours. It has been a long journey with a speedy end, but here I am, ready or not. And about the ready or not thing. Leading up to going, I had the most …

Let’s Talk About 2022
As I sit here in the middle of January of 2023, I guess I should try and reflect on 2022. I meant to do this on New Year’s Eve, but I just didn’t manage it. So since it seems I do everything late, here it is. The funny thing is I don’t know what to …
I Believe In Santa Claus
So Santa has been here for a bit over a week now, and although things haven’t gone perfectly, I am really noticing a difference. I have energy! I have a brain that works! Sleep actually makes me feel refreshed! The machine isn’t working quite right for me, because I don’t think my mask is quite …
It’s the Vaccine Hokey Pokey.
About a week and a half ago, I got my fourth COVID shot. Since we got actual COVID back in June, I figured I was probably about due. Man, is it ever hard to get a straight answer on when you should get your next shot if you’ve had COVID. Wait 6 months, but don’t …
Our Deepest Apologies To The Flu Trucks Clan
I missed posting this one the first time around, but with the Emergencies Act inquiry in full swing it suddenly feels relevant again. I don’t live in Ottawa and wasn’t visiting while all this was happening, but basically everything I read, saw and heard has me questioning whether or not this really is a fake …

No No No No No No No No No No No…Baaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrfffffffff…No No No No No No No No No No…
Please, for the love of the sweet baby Jesus, tell me that this is not in fact a thing that anyone outside of freaks and maniacs who really want to be interviewed by a magazine is doing/has done. There aren’t many times when I want the media to make up a trend, but if the …
He’s Had A Few Shots Of Something, By The Looks Of It
His heart is in the right place, but clearly being weird and embarrassing at government meetings isn’t just for anti-vaxxers. Impossible to describe this scene from Dallas City Council this morning but I’m begging you to click, you will not regret it pic.twitter.com/aQNfXeNZzf — Bradford Pearson (@BradfordPearson) January 12, 2022 Did he say “vaccinate me …

Go, Dog, Go.
Back at the beginning of the pandemic, I kept hearing about tons of people adopting pets because they were feeling alone and isolated. I said to Steve, “How long until the surrenders start?” Aren’t I the optimistic sort? If we had stopped time when this piece was written, everybody could laugh at me and say …
And That’s Why It’s Called A Memorial Candle
Three intensive care patients in Ukraine have been killed in a hospital fire sparked by a candle lit to remember a recent Covid-19 death. Another four people are being treated for severe burns following the blaze in Kosiv, western Ukraine, on Tuesday. According to officials, it began when a candle was lit by a member …

The Virus Said Hello
Looks like Gill has joined the Covid club. Hopefully it’s not too hard on her. On Saturday I got a bit of a headache, but didn’t think much of it because it was hotter than Satan’s shoes after gym class. Yesterday I went for a walk and seemed ok, but felt like maybe I was …
