Here it is, already Monday again. That was one fast weekend. I did laundry and housework and played with the birds and read on Saturday. On Sunday, GC and I made a good dent in fixing the front steps. He did the carpentry while I did the cement work. It has to be finished by [...] Have you ever screwed something up that was really important to you? That’s what I just did. I was scheduled to take two tests today to qualify for a pool of government writing jobs. I really want one of these jobs. They’re one of the few government jobs that don’t require bilingualism. Actually they’re one [...] Okay, now here’s some MAJOR news for you. Drum roll, please. BANJO CAN FLY! He turned one month old today, and he celebrated by flying off my finger while I was washing his face after breakfast. I was so surprised. I just assumed Piccolo would fly first, since he’s the oldest. And I thought it was [...] On Friday night, GC and I went to Elmak’s art show at La Petite Mort Gallery. I meant to tell you about it before the show, so you could go too, but unfortunately I dropped that ball. Elmaks is the street artist who created the Swap Boxes. The show was great, and GC bought a [...] GC decided to take me out for dinner last night because I was a bit frazzled from my day. But we only made it part way down the street when we spotted something that demanded our attention. A van, on the side of the road, perched at a peculiar angle, looking like its axle broke [...] We’ve been celebrating GC’s birthday for a couple of days now. For his birthday I gave him a blood pressure machine and an art journaling book. He was thrilled with his blood pressure machine. It’s just what he always wanted. (Remind me to tell you about the thermometers someday.) Thursday night we went to a Jamaican [...] Apparently Maria McRae is going to be running again for City Councilor in River Ward. (She’s the incumbent.) During the last municipal election I emailed both candidates with questions, and based my vote on their responses. I wasn’t particularly impressed with either of them, but I voted for Blake Batson, the guy who lost. I [...] Last night GC and I went to the opening night performance of They All Do It, a play produced by Odyssey Theatre. I’m not someone who has their ear to the ground when it comes to theatre, so I’d never even heard of Odyssey until they emailed me an invitation a couple of weeks ago. [...] Awhile back, I was out for brunch with a group of bloggers, and someone asked me about the Hartman’s Piano. This was the piano at the Hartman’s grocery store at Bank & Somerset. For years it was a community instrument in a small community-oriented corner of the grocery store. And then suddenly it was gone, [...]
Photo: You should see the other guy Last night we went to Irene’s Pub for a benefit for Kim. I’ve known Kim for 25 years, which is even longer than she’s been a bartender at Irene’s. She got injured breaking up a rare fight at Irene’s last week. She broke her leg and sprained both [...] |
