Two new birds!

Well, they’re not NEW, exactly. The original lovebirds – Oboe’s parents, Billie and Lester – have moved from GC’s house to mine.

5:30-6:30 – House of Commons to watch Bill C-279 being debated. That’s the private member’s bill to amend the [...]

We all love Kazoo’s showers.

From Youtube to you

It’s too hot to think, so I’m just sharing a few videos I’ve seen lately. I hope you like them.

This one’s short and spectacular:

This one is a quick clip of 100 people, in order of age, from one to 100.

The giggling quadruplets have been around for awhile, but I still love them.

This one’s been around [...]
