Parade of Lost Souls: I’ll be there, but not in the normal way: I’ve signed up to be a volunteer. They asked if I could be a barricader. I’m not sure what that entails, but what the hey, hey? I can barricade. I will barricade SO WELL. Volunteer orientation tomorrow night. Perhaps then I’ll find [...]

From The Province (which isn’t exactly a reliable news source, but hey, I take what makes me laugh): Speaking in St. Charles, Mo., McCain yesterday described his rival as a shifty, job-killing socialist who remained unready for the challenges of the presidency. “After months of campaign eloquence . . .

…does anyone else think it’s crazy that they can track this dog back to 1778, but I only barely know the name of my great grandparents? And there are a LOT more generations between that dog and the 1700s and my ancestors… (Note to self: DO NOT read pet rescue websites. Ever, ever, ever. Justice [...]

So the hot water heater is dead. You’d be amazed at how much you miss this when it’s gone. I’m … not a fan of cold. I’m a bit ridiculous about it, really. I sleep — year round — with a heavy duvet (and a warm dog and a warm boy — god, I love [...]
