Very cool corpse detection.

And it makes interesting reading.

Ah, Corey… you’re in the Scott Pilgrim Comic!

Editorial on the Harper Gov and the long form census. Ceegars are back. Yet more evidence of the appalling lack of compatibility between men and women. Turkey doesn’t help you sleep.  Fat keeps you awake. I suppose if I told anybody I wish I had darker skin, they wouldn’t believe me. I can’t improve on [...]

When one of my children says, “I was tripping ballz the other day,” – I am sorry, I CANNOT keep a straight face. I crack up.   The internet meme “tripping ballz” is not that old, but I have to say it’s one of my current faves.  (dates to about 2003 but came to favour recently). Speaking [...]

Pulled the first pea pod out of the garden for Jeff. My mint got so sunburned it almost [...]

yup I went to strip my bed and when I got interrupted I was not surprised to find Margot kipped out on it.  Never fails. Yesterday I practiced guitar and mandolin for a couple of hours with Paul, and Jeff and I got an awning, and IT ROCKS!!!!  BEST 140 bucks I’ve spent in a [...]
