Well now, that was slower than I remembered. I had reason to install Adobe Reader this evening. On a virtualized XP system… the job is done, without hiccups, but my beard feels longer.

I continue to be amazed by the space available. Inside. Our car. Leave the passenger(s) at home, and you can put the oddest things into the area behind the driver’s seat.

Do you ever wish you could go back in time? Check to see how things were, with old friends, back in the day? What about Friends? This afternoon, thanks to the power of the web, I returned to 1994. Watched the pilot episode of Friends.

Could it be that I offered “free snacks with your ride”? Had another seed-siphon in the Hav-a-Hart this morning. This time around, arrived at destination, the exodus from the “transporter” went smoothly. Given the number of trees nearby, I’m sure I’ll have other riders before too much longer.

Please, Ottawa: leave my CBC Radio alone. From where I sit, the variety fills that quiet space in my life. News, culture, so much more. New music! I’m listening to a cellist, Cris Derksen, in the living space of my life, and I’m content. Don’t mess with my content, OK?

Look outside. Not today, too much fog (if this was an airport, etc), but maybe tomorrow. The wind is blowing steadily, and whatever precipitation is falling hasn’t been registering in the rain gauge. Blowing sideways. The dog set the pace for the day, reminding me that naps are good for everything.

I should know better than that: reading a great food blog, on an empty stomach. The article, which deals with iconic foods in the area, has me wanting more than I can find in an empty fridge. Imagine spending the day in local restaurants, and then taking the nearest ferry and repeating the routine (tomorrow) as you make your way eastward to yet another ferry. Then, spending a few more days (on the Rock). Sounds like a plan for summer. Oh yes, the blog address: www.eatthistown.ca

After watching too many episodes of Two and a Half Men, I have a soft spot for Melanie Lynskey, aka Rose. She doesn’t do normal. Caught her latest movie, in the streams: I Don’t Feel At Home In The World Anymore. Glad I did. Ninety minutes in an alternate reality; my own life seems very comfortable, and comforting in retrospect.

On the Island, whether or not depends. For the weather, I mean. The blizzard looks to have missed this area, completely. We had about 10% of the snow received a scant 50 km west of here; ditto for the winds. Mind, we were storm stayed just the same, given that all the plows were parked out of harm’s way.

An early spring, by all accounts. As proof, I note that we’ve already transported three squirrels to new homes in the primeval forest, several small rivers away. The running water may slow the return to our bird feeders for a bit. Unless, as I suspect, the species understands the concept of highway bridges. We’ll see.
