We Canadians have an affinity with white.  (more here ... )

Every Sunday morning the Biffster and I woke up to some type of religious music blaring on the stereo.  My grandfather had a kick ass stereo for being on the prairies in the frozen Northland.  The booming from the bass members of the choir bounced the cows  3 miles away in the far north pasture ...  (more…

There is a lot of talk about help in the home to keep it tidy. (more here ...)

The fact that someone figured out that an anagram of "National Rail Timetable" is "All trains aim to be late in," is proof that leaving people around waiting for trains is a dangerous thing to do.  I cannot be sure but I think it was on one of those waits that someone came up with the idea for bacon flavoured tooth floss.  (more …

I just want to give a holler for aluminum foil ... probably the most overlooked fashion material in the universe. (more here…

Why not Black and Orange?  Or Purple and White?  Seems to me that things were much easier when we were kids and didn't know a thing about this Black and White crap.  A piano was just a cool thing that made awesome music, regardless of whether you knew how to play it or now.  (more …

One of our sons is on holidays.  (more here ...)
