All that was necessary was a short window of opportunity. And an open window. For the second day in a row, the dog escaped from our family gaol, making a leap to the kind of world a dog dreams of. A park, without a leash or a pack leader. I received the call at work, but realized that my seach resources were limited. And, with the help of a diligent neighbour, the furry rambler was back on home turf before I arrived.

Another school year at an end, and a need to avoid cooking supper. Solution: off to a restaurant. Given the proposal of something something chicken, it came down to making a carefully weighed choice among the region’s standards. Benny, The Cage and Scores all lost the bid, what with Hubert offering free coleslaw and a decent choice of soups based on chicken. Like I said; according to a theme.

In communion with (or in spite of) the seasonably warm day, a few things are now better than before. If I manage to sleep tonight (reference the aforementioned temperature), I will probably dream with a smile.

With the car back from its little vacation east of here (overnight in Charlevoix), the Saturday shuffle began. Funny how our schedules are busier when we’re not at work. For a change, things were running on time, and after a warning that there was some delay at the transformation factory, I took a break at home.

Syndication: the feature of network television that I love to hate.
Let’s face it; good comedy bears being watched more than once. It’s the “more than” which needs precision, and as soon as a program gets thrown into the schedule as a hole-filler, all control goes out the window. A case in point, for me, is The Big Bang Theory.

Oh for those kinder, gentler times. Back when a community had one newspaper and one radio station. Back when the news was devoid of political content. Because, based on the way my blood pressure climbs each time I hear about another gaff by the elected elite, I’m going to die from apoplexy.

In this house, videogames have been part of the lifestyle (for others in the family), for years. I suspected, but never had confirmation until this weekend, that is was mainly because of the music.

Yesterday, I remembered going dancing. Today, I salute the passing of the man that taught America to dance. Dick Clark is gone.

After careful study (and a pinch of Gestalt), I declare that a four day weekend is superior to the two day variety. Pity that there won’t be another chance to test the hypothesis for many moons.

Pardon me for being relatively naive. I thought that images like the one below were a nature study; as in, natural. Not so fast. Look again.
