It’s a hurricane! Supposedly. The “hurricane” isn’t doing much aside from knocking down my sunflowers and strewing our neighbours’ garbage all over the place, but it’s still bad enough that I (and the dogs) don’t really want to go outside and we’re feeling a bit shack wacky.
Sprocket and Doozer alleviate this by biting each others’ [...]
On the way to the beach today, I cried over “Hello” by Lionel Richie.
Yes. “HELLO”. Is it me you’re looking for. I am embarassed. Not too embarassed to post the scary video, though, with its… excellent acting (Lionel Richie is such a creeper!):
And then on the way home? This one (sorry it’s all [...]
It’s been about 3 weeks since my surgery, and the bruises are gone. The incision in my belly button is fine, it just looks like a little x-shaped dent. The one that’s at my pubic bone, though… ugh.

I used to be up on all the new music and all into the indie people and such. But for the last… how many years? I’m like “No! I only want to hear Simon and Garfunkel and Gordon Lightfoot and don’t you dare try to make me listen to anything new!”. Rob has become my [...]
Matthew, Gunnar, and Sam Nelson singing their dad’s song.
The original:
I love Gordon Lightfoot. Here he is with Johnny Cash (holy cow, was Gord 5 here? So young!)
In an interview with George Strombalopoulos, Gordon mentioned how he got his start with other artists recording his songs. Ian and Sylvia Tyson were the first to record his music. So I poked around Youtube and found Jim [...]
Here’s an alternate mix of Colin Hay’s “Beautiful World”
