After a 4+ month hiatus I have returned to the live poker stage. Mostly because it’s time to sharpen up before WonderBoy ’07. The time-off has certainly dulled the edges a bit. On the plus side it appears I have unintentionally changed my approach to the game. In the past I used to live and… Read More »
I have a huge backlog of blogs but this one I couldn’t resist. For Alex, a strange invention I read from my page-a-day calendar: Separable Pants – The zipper goes all the way around the crotch, from the front to the back. That way, you can mix and match the legs with other colours and… Read More »
On the way to work today two noteworthy things crossed my mind: 1. When are the city workers going to clean up the dog’s head that has been on the side of the road for over a week now? It has to be grossing out more people than just me. 2. How did a dog’s… Read More »

I fear the US economy may take a hit with the Dems in control but it’s a small… Read More »
I am currently sitting in a private room in the Grand River Hospital with Sonia and OG. OG is battling a virus that requires IV treatment to speed up her recovery and get her temperature down. We’ll be here for a couple of days. I was not expecting to be able to tap into the… Read More »
The U.S. midterm elections are TOMORROW. What does this mean? It all has to do with 2 ‘chambers’ of the Congress of the United States. Each one plays a huge role in passing legislation. You see, the President weilds a lot of power in the US but is hamstrung in certain important areas by these… Read More »
Everybody who has a septic tank instead of city sewage facilities will most likely have a story about their septic experiences and it will most likely be an unpleasant one.
