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 [...]
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. Now, it’s not infected, itchy, particularly painful, or anything like that. I don’t feel it when I’m [...]
This morning I went to the basement to put some laundry on, and saw something that broke my heart a little more. Just before our wedding, this came up on Freecycle. I immediately emailed asking for it, thinking “We don’t need it this second, but we should soon enough, maybe”. We picked it up and [...]

I’ve been putting off writing about my surgery and the results, because writing it down makes it real, and makes it permanent. At first it was easy to delay, because HELLO PAIN PILLS! How do you do? You love me, don’t you, Pain Pills? Well, I kinda love you too. In a platonic sort of [...]
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 [...]
