My brother called from Thailand

Print | Home

Not so unusual except that he used Skype. It was costing him (he called our land line rather than my computer) fractions of a cent/minute — cheaper than calling (regular) long distance in Canada. About the only problem was that the connection seemed to be half duplex; that is, if one of us tried to interrupt then the other person couldn’t talk for a brief period. I’ll have to dig out the headset and try giving him a call.

Sensitive personal equipment

“Discontinue use of towelettes on personal safety equipment if rash or skin irritation develops.”

Personal safety equipment has skin? This skin can be sensitive?

I'm snow tired

It snowed and blowed a lot last night and today. After going to the ballet (Romeo and Juliet at the Living Arts Centre) not only did I have to walk the dog but I spent another half hour cleaning out what the snow plow had left at the bottom of the driveway.

I don't know what it is so I'll pee on it

Based on my 2 years of experience owning a male dog I think this is a credo. When he comes a across an unfamiliar object: say a garbage bag of rolled rug ends like today. He sniffed it and then peed on it.

I took a few pictures in the ravine today while walking the dog. Nothing exciting in the pictures: perfect for desktop “wallpaper”.

Our choir has been hosting a Symposium on this Saturday for the last few years. It has always been cold and today was no exception. There are icicles hanging from our roof and these ducks appear to be frozen into the ice.
