In my future, I hope to look back on this period in my life and simply shake my head. That is, I hope to be able to look back. Part of the downside of deteriorating eyesight is that blur is more than a band name.

And then we had the dreaded chickenpox. As kids, I mean. Back in those days, there was a checklist of diseases you were doomed to catch, just because you were a kid.

Sometimes, the rush to adapt new technologies leads to comedy. This evening, our local news station (yes, CBC) presented a bulletin on the outbreak of H1N1 (lead story, day after day) in a local school.
