Sayanara Canada Wry
Filed Under Housekeeping, Humour | Leave a Comment
Wait…how do you spell “sayanara”?
Ahhhh…who cares?
I can’t be bothered to spell anymore….or conjugate or *sigh* ….
Like my will to live, my will to blog has drained from my body and pooled itself in the crannies of the floor mats in my car…
It’s hell on the cuffs….I’ve lost more pants that way…
I am abandoning my long-abandoned [...]

My Life’s Mission Statement …just got animated
Filed Under Housekeeping | Comments Off
I’ve had a personal “mission statement” for my life for several years now…
But it recently received an addition.
NOW it’s…
To tell one great story.
To live one great love affair.
To be a better person tomorrow than I am today
And to make people laugh so hard they blow beverages out of their nose…..
because, let’s face it…that’s God’s work.

The top search terms in terms of sheer number and variety are still related to a certain dog trainer

New Year’s Resolutions 2009:
Ahhhhhh….it’s been a tough one, 2008. Illness, homelessness, crippling poverty, our clothes being stolen, all of our household goods stolen, money misappropriated, Kristi passing away….really, kind of soul-crushing….But, I am grateful for every thing that’s happened. I’m NOT just saying that either. I’ve always felt that my life had not quite started [...]

Holy Crapoli I’ve lost weight…

Why Am I Writing About a TV Dog Trainer, AGAIN? Deb, Jennifer and Douglas…This is a special message for you and your cranky cronies.
Filed Under Housekeeping, People, Random Acts of Truth | Comments Off
Well, a funny thing happened a month or so, ago…
It seems that when I invoked the name of Canadian Dog Trainer Brad Pattison, I conjured up the manifest rage of his rabid detractors.
So, despite having other things to do…I am wrapping up editing on one book, writing on the other and doing a daily 10km [...]

A Little Sex and Death on the Weekend
Filed Under Housekeeping | Comments Off
I’ve had a revelatory weekend.
It’s a thousand times easier to “do” sex than it is to write it.
I took a commission last week to rewrite two scenes for a novelist from Craigslist.One is a murder scene and I am overwhelmingly pleased with the outcome.
When I stopped getting hung up on the exposition and [...]

Funniest Thing happened….I was reminded of this totally weird site I created two years ago when I had too much time on my hands one fate-full Canada Day weekend…

Filed Under Housekeeping, Jules Carlysle, Politics - Canada, Politics - USA, Quelle Suprise... | Comments Off
Once again, the United States could benefit from looking to Canada as an example of certain policies that work effectively. I know it pains them….those who know Canada exists anyway….and generally Americans have a hard time giving credit to Canada for anything.
(I’m still annoyed that after Sept 11, when Bush was thanking countries for their [...]
