Some days are better than others. Perception.
The weekend is almost over, and I have a week with little to “look forward to”. Perception. There’s that word, again. I feel like things could be better, so why not call on the pseudosciences for an explanation. Call up my biorhythm, online. Emotional curve is at rock bottom. There. A simple explanation.

Remember that old saw about a man with a hammer? I now own a box taper. That should put fear in your heart.

Things are running late. In football, I mean. The Uteck Bowl should have finished with its time slot about fifteen minutes ago, but even with the extra minutes it doesn’t look like Acadia can get past MacMaster. Which means that one half of the Vanier Cup lineup can be pencilled in. Not inked; it ain’t over ’til it’s over, as they say.

Parallel universe or rut; you decide. I’ve been wasting my evening by watching the X Factor.

This morning, in New York, the mayor sent in his armed city employees (the police) to remove the campsite in a city park. You may have heard about it: Camp Occupy. I don’t think that anyone was surprised. However.

Forget time travel as an unnecessary expense. Just wait for a few years, and the past will get a “do over” in the future. Perhaps an inspiration from video games…

I forgot this, yesterday. Congratulations to the Rouge et Or on your win of the Dumsmore Cup. Two more games to go. So, go!

Another day in the exciting life of… no; another exciting day in the life of… there, that sets the tone for my second day in the Big City. Unaccompanied, I set in search of sustenance and adventure, and managed one of the two.

An early start to a long day. Off to catch (sic) the train to the Big City, long before daylight. There was unlimited juice while we quarantined before boarding, and we did get a hot breakfast with free wi-fi; rail travel is much better than back in the age when trains went everywhere.
