A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

May I just say how profoundly proud I am for having the restraint to stay away from my Christmas peppermint bark stash for nearly a month?
I was trying for February, but these are desperate times.

I’m somewhat ashamed to admit I’ve just eaten two homemade crumpets, slathered in butter and wild blueberry jam. It’s gonna be a hard week, so I figured I’d pre-game some carbs.

After weeks of clearing our (massive, semicircular) driveway with standard snow shovels, we finally broke down and bought one of these bad boys:

. . . at which point the temperature rose dramatically and the skies cleared.
You’re welcome, Alberta.

I was a wee bit annoyed at having to use my little old laptop for the Zoom exercise class I started today, but now I’m relieved the screen’s so small I can only see the instructor, and not the class members who can stand on one foot for longer than 5 seconds. Smug little balance keeners ;-).

I was feeling pretty hopeless this morning about, dunno, pretty much everything when an unexpectedly funny email exchange with a colleague reminded me that good people exist; it’s just that the noise from the awful ones tends to drown them out.

For #TerrierTuesday, here’s a throwback to Bean’s first taste of the #whitestuff in March 2020, when she arrived from Mexico in the middle of a cold snap. we had to put the poor girl in two coats before she stopped shivering.
