The literary output looks slower than usual thanks to round two of holidays. After working with a computer all day, it's good to turn it off, and head outside. Baby, it's warm outside alright. I took a walk to the bank, had a mocha at Starbucks, then walked back home. Each time I entered an … Continue reading Hazy, Lazy Days of Summer

Meanwhile, Back in Real Life
I have a busted bicuspid tooth needing to come out. While my Midweek Geekiness feature went live, I took my throbbing, aching tooth to a new dentist. To make a long story short: I fired my last dentist. The new dentist requires new patients fill out a two-page questionnaire to make their visit as comfortable as possible. Dentists … Continue reading Meanwhile, Back in Real Life
A Post About Nothing In Particular
I sit in my air-conditioned condo with only a light on in the kitchen, while the sun supplied the rest. It's quiet, not even a TV program on, it's the perfect end to a pretty good long weekend. In fact it's a good end to a so-so sort of week. It started with my condo, … Continue reading A Post About Nothing In Particular
Midweek Geekiness: A Hollow Crown, A Secret Agent, and Even More Avengers Geekiness
People may scoff at me about seeing The Avengers more than once. Life feels too short to arouse concern on my part, and most of the time I see it again with someone else seeing for the first time. On Sunday, after a delightful brunch at The Falafel Place, myself and two other friends walked to Grant Park. … Continue reading Midweek Geekiness: A Hollow Crown, A Secret Agent, and Even More Avengers Geekiness
Mr. Rogers Gets Remixed
It's hard to write about Mr. Rogers without feeling melodramatic or schmaltzy, but it's not worth just keeping to myself. I sat in a waiting area while CBC Radio 2 played as usual before my appointment. The DJ talked about a song released as a tribute and began to play the song. In the space … Continue reading Mr. Rogers Gets Remixed
The Birthday Kidnapping to Fort Edmonton
V had her birthday and the two women working with her at the library took the day off to 'kidnap' her for a birthday treat. We agreed I should drive. (I had a four-door, 2012 Ford Focus, with a sun roof. I had to read the instruction book to work some features of the car.) … Continue reading The Birthday Kidnapping to Fort Edmonton

More Avengers Geekiness
Today's adventure involved a visit to a museum and art gallery in Red Deer. We met up with a family of seven, good friends of V, for a tour around the exhibits. The main exhibit talked about food and food safety. Displays included trying to find ingredients from various time periods. (Oranges in the 19th … Continue reading More Avengers Geekiness
Lazy Sundays in Alberta
Thank you V for the loan of you laptop. I bought a Acer Inspire One netbook about a year ago or so. For some reason the thing decided to go 'boink' right around the time for a blog entry. My hostess and friend graciously loaned me her laptop. So far it's a lazy Sunday in … Continue reading Lazy Sundays in Alberta
Vacation (All I Ever Wanted)
It's after 9 here in Lacombe. V and I went to see The Avengers for the umpteenth time. (My second and her fourth.) Red Deer is a pretty city nestled in the valley. In fact what's considered 'flat' here looks downright curvy to me. Yesterday I made my way to Ikea. Winnipeg can hardly wait … Continue reading Vacation (All I Ever Wanted)
