Torontonian, husband, dog-owner, reader, writer, podcaster... Struggling list-maker?

I try to say at least something every day, usually slice of life, usually positive vibes.

Well, they definitely have them in stock. Is this joke I will need to remind her about on Christmas morning and only I will find funny worth $8-$25? Probably not...

Our dog Cora is getting ready for Halloween trick-or-treaters. (Just kidding. She hates people knocking on the door. Or our neighbours' doors for that matter. Still, she looks cute in a costume...)

For today's episode of The Tape Recorder Trilogy #Podcast we have the second half of a two-parter reimagining the story of Icarus and Daedalus (and Iapyx and Ariadne too) as it may have happened before people centuries later turned into the myth we know today:

Autumn is here! (He says on a day so balmy, he's breaking a sweat while walking briskly in shirtsleeves.)

Episode 6 of The Tape Recorder Trilogy Podcast is live! Two thirds of the people who downloaded Episode 5 already downloaded it before I got a chance to share it here. I will take that as a good sign. Anyway, here's a link full of links:

I came across this earlier today, and I have been chewing on it ever since. I agree with its sentiments completely, and it is such an apt and incredible analogy, I'm amazed I haven't heard it before in some other capacity. Anyway, I thought if it has impressed me this much, I better share it. Enjoy!

The backside of the ad shows the back of the '90s Straight outfit? I don't know if that makes it better or worse, but it deserves to be included in the first post...

'90s Straight?

Old Navy, I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a micro-aggression...

Too soon, Rona. Too soon.

Boy, I really tempted fate with that post. Plumbing emergency. Trip canceled. My nephews are going to be so upset.

I tried a new kind of instant noodles and thought, "Hey, this is pretty good. I'll take a picture of the package so I remember it the next time I go to that Asian grocery store..."

My dog was very confused why I was not taking a picture of her, and decided to investigate. Enjoy the result.

Thank you to everyone who has given this thing a try so far. I launched on Labour Day Monday, and you have already exceeded my download hopes for September. I really appreciate it.

Took the dog for a walk yesterday. A coyote watched us from behind the gate of some rich guy's house. Tough neighbourhood!

My wife and I were deciding between two movies last night, so we decided to flip a coin. I have a big brass pot in my office full of loose coins. I reach in, grab one, and... It's the Quadcenntenial Commemorative Quarter of the Founding of Jamestown, Virginia? As a Canadian, what are the odds?

Came across this gem while wandering around the internet. The Temperance Movement of the early 20th Century had some crazy, crazy ideas. Apparently 'Mexicanized Dishes and Pepper Sauces' is part of the steep descending staircase towards the inevitable DRUNKARD'S GRAVE? Watch out, parents!
