In this age of email, text messaging, and instant messaging, it isn’t surprising that we are forced to find new and exciting ways to truly express ourselves. The messages we write and send each other electronically can easily be (and are often) misinterpreted and misunderstood. Part of this is due to the speed in which...

Humphrey found an orange jujube on the floor today. He then proceeded to bat/steamroll/wrestle it around for 10 minutes. After the first lick or two, the jujube got sticky. Then, each time he picked it up with his teeth and tossed it around, it would stick to the door, the table, his back, the couch...

Last night we had to say goodbye to an old friend. I have to admit, it wasn’t easy. Dan came upstairs and handed me a yogurt container filled with…….Ned. I thought I would have had time to mentally prepare, but no, Ned had already been captured and was facing immediate relocation. I carefully took my...

Our house sold on the weekend, on the first day of viewings to the second of four viewers. We had many more viewings lined up, so were feeling pretty confident. Thus, we were able to get very close to our asking price, along with the closing date we wanted. As a lay student of economics,...

Congratulations go out to Jason Wiens, originally of Drake, Saskatchewan, for graciuosly consuming the oldest beer I’ve ever owned. After months of promises, and much to his chagrin, the long-awaited ingestion took place on Easter Sunday at about 5:30 pm. Over a year ago, on Saint Patrick’s Day 2005, Dan brought home a sampling of...

I watched a fair share of cartoons growing up …. Saturday morning was a ritual involving a giant cushion, a blanket, and channel surfing. Others attempted excellence (Thundercats, Smurfs or Transformers anyone?), but it’s tough to beat the best. I give you Bugs Bunny in The Rabbit of Seville. Caaaaaant you see that I’m much...
