I like books, music, films, food, golf and travel.

Some of 12 cubs that I saw under a tree in Tanzania, Sept. 25, 2025. Other pic is me in a desert in Peru with the sun setting.

There are too many successful sociopaths.

The reality of this becomes more blatant and less shocking.

And that is scary.

Just completed final watch through of the finished ROGUE TROOPER film…
25 years of pestering @2000ad.bsky.social to let me give it a shot, 3 years of production to make the thing & now… it’s DONE!

Can’t wait for you to see it.
So, so proud of our team.
We’ve made something a bit special.
❤️

Just finished baking Holiday Star Cookies. I made a little over three dozen.
There are two cutout shortbread cookies with chocolate ganache between. On top is a glaze with gold sprinkles.

Finished watching Pluribus last night.
A second season???
They didn't even have enough for one. I could have fast ffed through the last episode.
I'm assuming it is American, which is so surprising because the American lead is sooooo stereotypical annoying, rude American. The response is bang on.

I walked by this beaver lodge again. I really noticed the snow melting where heat escapes from within. Makes me wonder how warm it is inside.
Also saw the ice thinner underneath on the far side where the beaver swims out. Cool.

Your annual reminder that next Thursday we all will pretend to have a Dutch Saint visit our children on a pagan sun god festival day, with a German tree, decorated in the Norse fashion, to celebrate the birth of an Arab Jewish child.

You're welcome x

Dee has just won the Bluesky Christmas Internet.
I went to buy a christmas tree today.

The man said to me, “Are you going to put it up yourself?”

I just looked him and then said, “Well, no, I’m going put it up in the sitting room!”

A sinkhole opened on a major street in London Ontario.
I had to detour yesterday on my way for a massage, was running late then. Tried to phone using my car...forgot my phone at home. Still made it.
Apparently the road will be open this week.

Mass shootings deaths last 10 yrs

USA -55,500

Australia -16

I'll take our gun laws over America's every day of the week

Aust does NOT need to teach school children how to respond when there in a shooter in their school murdering students

Even murder of children they refuse to tighten gun laws

I AM CANADIAN!
Back from pickleball on a cold, windy, snowy day.
I could get changed at the gym.
But I come and go just like this!
-8 C, feeling like -16.
😉😛

The wind unroots old griefs,
yet still they cling to me,
Like ivy gripping hard
to fading memory.

But time,
won’t dissolve
what’s relevant,
while the rest drifts off.

Thus pain becomes the seed
of what I must become,
And I am carried on,
as rivers are, by storms.

That could be because what the US does globally is just that, a narrative.
The US has destroyed many countries, installing dictators, preventing elections, enabling the death and poverty of millions.
Most Americans don't know what goes on in their own country, let alone what they inflict on others.

Out for a walk in London, Ontario, even though it is -8, with a -15 windchill.
I didn't expect to see a heron. I thought they would head south.
And a repaired beaver lodge at the same pond had a visitor, likely a coyote.

Winter is here.
The snow in the wheel well of my car is a frozen ice block. I didn't notice until I heard a noise when turning.
I can't even kick it out.

A bald eagle seen from my kitchen.
I just took this with my phone. I tried with my Canon camera but couldn't get it to focus.
