Music Monday – “Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi/Ain’t singin’ for Coke/I don’t sing for nobody Makes me look like a joke/This note’s for you”

There’s some irony that Warner Brothers Music Group won’t allow me to embed this anti-corporate sponsorship song on my blog. But worth a click-thru to watch a classic Neil Young song… “This Note’s For You” – Neil Young

Saturday Snap – Life’s Too Short For Unsalted Butter

In light of yesterday’s post where I happened to share the screenshot a portion of a life advice article that said we should eat salted butter as life is too short for unsalted, I thought I’d post a pic I happened to snap at Safeway recently. Saying “life is too short for unsalted butter” may […]

Wordle? Why Yes, I’m Something of an Authority Myself…

Well, maybe not an authority but a recent blog post may have at least convinced a couple people at the Mother Corp that I should be interviewed for a CBC story about the game! 😉 (And I’m going to lose sleep tonight thinking how that beautiful pre-planned quote came off worse than I intended simply […]
