Weird Wednesday: Precipitation Participation

-This summer, we had the least rain since . . . ever. This winter we have had the most snow since . . . you guessed it, ever. Sigh. I could be wrong, but this is how I understand it. There is a finite amount of H2O on the earth. We can’t use it up.Continue reading “Weird Wednesday: Precipitation Participation”

Weird Wednesday: Couch Coaching / Cartoons

The Winter Olympics. When people become an expert in sports that they haven’t see in four years (or ever). I’m guilty. There are some sports that are covered on a regular basis, while others, unless you have a decent streaming/cable package, do not get as much media attention between the games. There are some veryContinue reading “Weird Wednesday: Couch Coaching / Cartoons”

Weird Wednesday: Month Lite / Cartoons

After a steady diet of 30 and 31 day months, we finally get to the reduced month of February. What difference does a day make? Well I’m glad you asked. Less wear and tear on the snooze button One less day to worry about Covid Your monthly food budget looks a bit better March willContinue reading “Weird Wednesday: Month Lite / Cartoons”

Weird Wednesday: Cartoons and Crazy Weather

The last few days, the temperature has dropped to -35 C (this is the range where Fahrenheit starts to catch up) . Today, it is forecasted to be 0 C (32 F). We have also had 3X the amount of snow than we had all last year. Good for the farmer’s fields, but I’m runningContinue reading “Weird Wednesday: Cartoons and Crazy Weather”

Weird Wednesday: What a Waste / Cartoons

I was flossing last night—as I always do— and I was struck by not how much I use, but how much I don’t use. Let me explain: After I pull out the desired length, I wrap some around my finger, then, as it slips off, I proceed to wrap more because of course, floss slips.Continue reading “Weird Wednesday: What a Waste / Cartoons”

Weird Wednesday: Spam, Spam, Spam, Wonderful Spam.

To quote Monty Python, “I’ll have your Spam, Dear. I love Spam.” Well, I don’t love it, there’s just an odd ‘like‘ there. I haven’t had it in quite some time though. As a child, there was often the knock-off, Klik in the cupboard, usually after dad’s hunting trip. Beans and Klik. There’s a tentContinue reading “Weird Wednesday: Spam, Spam, Spam, Wonderful Spam.”

Thursday Thoughts: Here we go again!

On Tuesday, the opening ceremonies for the Paralympics took place. Like the other ceremonies, I flicked back and forth until eventually I saw my countries athletes enter. One of the highlights of the Olympic games for me was always how the torch was going to be lit. The most memorable ones were, Mohamed Ali inContinue reading “Thursday Thoughts: Here we go again!”

Tuesday Tidbits: Collecting (dust)

I’ve never read the Marie Condo book, Sparking Joy, but I’ve seen countless spoofs and mockeries of it on talk and comedy shows, but no matter who you are, we all collect things, and sometimes it’s hard to let them go. As children we may find attachment in all sorts of things like rocks, bugs,Continue reading “Tuesday Tidbits: Collecting (dust)”

Thursday Thoughts: Food for Thought

People have asked me, “Leon, where do you get your ideas for Thursday Thoughts?” Not really. That’s a lie. The most common question I get is “Leon, what do you like to eat for a snack?” Seriously, really. No that’s a lie too. But now you are wondering, “Leon, what do you like to eatContinue reading “Thursday Thoughts: Food for Thought”
