Update my list
No, really. I know where the lightswitch is located. I’m sitting in the darkness because I choose to.

I deserve an award, too
It’s been a few days; hardly enough to tell if the trend will continue, but… the new leader has managed to make his country great again. A great source of humour. Go ahead. Check out social media. Or mainstream media. Or late night TV. Rarely have so many comedic routines written themselves. And who knows what tomorrow may bring?

Fueled by memes and biscuits
In a world fed by memes, my favourite from today shows a privet hedge. A quiet announcement that Canada was building a wall; more precisely, growing a wall. However, the plants would have millions of discrete thorns, ready to deflate the ego of any politician that tries to cross in our direction.

Going for coffee
For those among you, who live urban lifestyles, going for coffee is just part of the process. You go, you order, you drink, you leave. I’m from another world, and the coffee from my home machine tastes just great. No need to ever settle for a beverage that is too hot and served in a paper cup. But, I’m willing to bend my ways to the demands of others. Which saw me surfing through the snowdrifts, this morning, hoping not to discover the world of a ditch.

Averted the need for a personal rainbarrel
On the calendar, I’ve pencilled in my note for today: “Emergency averted”. With the assistance of someone who walks on the rooftop (no, not Santa), new shingles are in place. When the winds return, later this evening, I’ll sleep more soundly.

On high alert
The last day on the calendar. I should wax retrospective, but that’s not how I roll. Rather, I’m on a sonic hunt.

Feeling invulnerable?
Should you be feeling invulnerable, get over it. Put away the mythology volumes and the Superman comix. In need of further grounding? Check the obituary stream in your local newspaper. Or, on a more global level, just pay attention to social media.

Seasonal humour
It’s official: the holidays can now begin. I’ve got my jar of mustard pickles. A special shout out to my local general store.

A rave necklace
Winter is worse, elsewhere. Although we had nothing, this morning, schools were closed province wide. The photos from social media showed a real storm in the city, and the number of homes without electricity climbed dramatically overnight. Let me repeat: here, nothing.

Go for a nap
Is the afternoon without merit? Are you bored? Does the TV have nothing that attracts your imagination, or keeps you awake? Simple solution: go for a nap.
