Everybody sing. And a 1! And a 2! I just heard about Tim Horton’s dream donuts. I haven’t tried them yet, but I was curious what they’re all about and whether I should. I’m still kind of curious about them, but they remind me of the Creamy Chocolate Chill from days long ago, and the …

My Passport Got Another Stamp!
Holy crap, I took a trip! I took the plunge and took a trip. I came back on Saturday, and so far I’m not dead, so I think it was a success. Through the pandemic, I would have nightmares that I’d forgotten how to travel and didn’t pack the right supplies and failed all over …
Another Night In The Lab
So remember that post about going to the sleep lab? Well, I finally got some follow-up. I don’t know what happened right after my sleep study…let’s just blame Omicron for screwing up scheduling, but I didn’t hear from them at all. Finally, in March, I reached out and asked if I had missed a memo …
Some Friendly Advice From Renowned Travel Expert…Me!
Unless someone important has died far away and left you with no choice, perhaps before you go on the news to bellyache about how long your passport application is taking to process thanks to the gigantic pandemic backlog and how you might have to cancel your trip because of it, consider not booking a trip …

My First In-Person Conference Since COVID: Thoughts And Observations
Like I said, I went to my first in-person conference, and the experience was pretty nice. It was awesome to enjoy things like food and mingling with other attendees. I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do about masks, so I usually kept it on unless I absolutely had to take it off, like …

I Managed To Shop Online For Clothes
It’s the middle of May and the weather here is doing its damnedest to turn from winter to spring to summer, but it can’t seem to settle on which one it wants to be. Last week was super nice though, and it put me in a shorts frame of mind. That, in turn, reminded me …
Do We Not Say Flashback Friday Anymore? And Not Quite Early Enough There, Guys
I just watched a story on the news about the Ontario Liberals promising to bring back grade 13 in order to help make up for some of the learning loss caused by the pandemic. Not the worst idea depending on how it’s done, honestly. But I can’t focus on it because of how the anchor …

All Of The Sushi
I totally identify with this song. I never thought I would like sushi, but slowly I started to realize that yup, I sure do. But Steve is not a fan. So if I want it, I just have to order one of those wee boxes. Or sometimes I go out with friends who like it. …
Our Old Ghost Friend Has Returned, And I Think It Might Be A Jays Fan
I’m a little rattled at the moment. I’m not sure how many of you remember about eight years ago when Carin and I were convinced that there was a ghost in our house. Well, he…she…they…whatever it is went quiet after that and we didn’t think much more about it once it did. Until today. While …

Feel The Beams
It’s official. The mind beams are alive and well. Once again, Valentine’s Day came rumbling at me at full steam. But on about February 9, I had an inspiration. I had heard about these boxes of chocolates with a Braille legend, so you can tell what chocolates you’re eating. I snuck off to my computer …
