I named my fists Green Eggs and Ham because you will not like them, Sam-I-Am.
Named my fists Moby and Dick because from hell's heart I stab at thee!
Named my fists A and Ha because how folks want to take on me…

What he said. It may not seem like a lot of money... until you multiply it by 20+ million Canadians.
Under normal conditions I wouldn't take the time to fill out a form like this for maybe $25, and then maybe more if there's any left.
But, if that money comes from the Westons then sure, I'll take a few minutes, because fuck them.

If you're a Canadian who lived outside of Quebec and purchased bread from Loblaw's between 2001 and 2021, you can get compensation AND stick it to the Westons if you submit a claim before December 12th.

Loving how dynamic this lake effect snow squall is. Sunshine! Flurries! So much wind it's hard open your eyes! Now more sun! And NOW more flurries!
It's very exciting.

Two years ago this week I moved out of the place I'd been living for more than 12 years. Renoviction sucks.
Today I'm still darkly satisfied I refused to return access and keys until November 30th. Because fuck that guy.

It's not only that it gets dark so much earlier but also that my night vision got the vapours in my late 40s and has never really recovered.

My sister's posting photos from Turks & Caicos in the family chat; my brother's posting his pics from Frankfurt. Would adding photos of the closet I'm failing to organize be taking part or just showcasing my envy?

Mmm, not going to work on that assignment before my appointment. And to be honest, probably not afterwards, either.

The point of Remembrance Day is to look unflinchingly at the devastation war leaves behind. To acknowledge the sheer scale of what we lost: the lives, the potential, the chance to build something better.
It's horrifying to watch the same cancer growing again, gnawing on closed and cowardly minds.

I can always tell Mom's on the mend by how quickly I'm ushered out.

So glad to see the elections news out of NYC. And California. And... Bucks County, as surprising as it is welcome.

Thanks for an incredible season (and an intense cardio workout) Blue Jays. You fought all the way to the end, broke a bunch of records and had a good time doing it.
We're proud of you.

Obviously, I want the Jays to win. But this has also been a truly enjoyable World Series. Good baseball, well played, by two teams who seem a) to be enjoying themselves, and b) behave like decent people.

I'm coming to the conclusion that I was not built for prolonged baseball tension.
