Life is a bike path, and I want to ride it all day long. It's kind of what I do already.

I just came back from Paris and while I was there, we did a bike tour. Here are the highlights of it on the chaotic streets of Paris! 😀

For me, I would say Saturday Night by Whigfield. Back then in Canada, the hottest songs came on the Much Dance compilation CDs. This one was the first track on Dance Mix 95. Since French is my first language, I had no idea what she was singing. But I loved the beat!

Today, I was inspired by how fast professional speed skaters can finish a 10k marathon. So I thought I'd give it a try using my sub-athletic body and cheap hockey skates. I may have underperformed compared to them. I blame the headwind. 😅
But it was a lot of fun!

The CBC Radio program "As it Happens" today did an interview I very much needed to hear: they interviewed one of the "grass people" at the Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring Bad Bunny. 😀

Yesterday, I ordered hockey jerseys so I could play in the Ottawa Pride Hockey league and actually match everyone else. Naturally, it made me think of this cherished classic Canadian short story, which was translated from French to English, and adapted into this animation.

The Cineplex on the east end of Ottawa just has one seat reserved. My husband thinks it may actually be that loser Ambassador Hoekstra. 🤣

Let me see those Melania seating charts!
These are the showings at my local cinema. Some people seem to want to see this. Either that, or some (like me), made the mistake of almost reserving a ticket to see the seats, which blocks out one. I'm pretty sure the two on the left are out of order.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I finally had the chance to watch the finale of Heated Rivalry, and I very much loved it. It wasn't only because of that sense of anxiety gay men can face, but it also came with the serenity of the woods. The addition of that loon call was a very nice touch that I sometimes forget that I miss.

I just finished reading this comprehensive account of the "Greatest Canadian's" uphill battle at introducing universal Medicare.
Jammed packed with sources, yet easy to read, it does make me appreciate the reason why I can visit any hospital with just a health card.

I went to a drop-in scrimmage hockey game today, and I thought I'd try using a smaller bag for all of my gear. I then wanted to see the feasibility of putting the bag in my bike basket.
It doesn't quite fit, but I do see the potential in biking to games! 😀

This morning, I heard a story that bothered me and left me wondering. This young man simply disappeared after a day of skiing and a night of drinking at Mont-Tremblant, a really nice ski resort near where I live. CBC'S Fifth Estate will report on this tonight.

You know when you get annoyed when a co-worker calls you to say they sent you an email?
Well, in the snowstorm we're having, an out-of-town colleague intercepted me in the parking lot to tell me they sent me an email. Yes, I will read it once I get out of this snowstorm and into my warm office!

Happy Monday! One of my assistants walked into the office and said, "Ice is dangerous out there!" Due to recent events making me anxious, I thought something completely different than what she meant. 😒
It's really cold, snowy, and icy this morning. So we were talking about literal ice. 😅

In this one, a classroom of men were unhappy that they couldn't see a drawing of a penis. 🤔

Gay hockey mentioned
I'm getting started in hockey. It's in a simple queer no-contact league that doesn't seem overly competitive. Maybe I'm just feeling humble at the moment and will get more competitive later. Maybe not. Anyways, here's a photo of me wearing the Ottawa Otters jersey. 😀

I was just doing a bit of decluttering and reorganizing at my house. I think it was time for this rack and tray to come out of the closet. Much like me, they were useless and kind of boring while stuck in there.
So happy coming out to these two! 🥳
