Leonard Cohen
Even my music collection on random knows what I want to listen to. I've been sitting and relaxing with Leonard Cohen songs this evening after my Pokemon GO walk and while I do read the occasional snippet of social media, there's only so much of that that I can handle this week. People from all parts of the political spectrum (both American and non- ( Read more... ) -
So much for... well... so many things: but we move on.
Yesterday I didn't blog. Instead I came home from work with a headache, read some delightful comics, and then attended the 2016 CIBC Canada Russia Series hockey game at Rogers Place. I'm not sure I'll even continue my efforts at blogging every day in November, but given the circumstances, I figured I'd blog today anyway ( Read more... ) -
Should I continue to try to write every day?
I was very tempted to give up on mini-wrimo this year and just not write at all after Extra Life. My heart didn't seem into it, or anything and today I simply felt too tired (I blame Extra Life and the time change, and will go to bed shortly). But then I turned my computer on to see if I could churn out a few words and at least write anything ( Read more... ) -
Well Extra Life is done for another year...
And I dare say, I did a decent enough job at getting donations that I'm not disappointed. We did start dozing off a bit during the last few games of the 25 hours of gaming, this morning, and I did neglect to blog post yesterday, but I did kind of expect that that was likely going in. We streamed to Twitch and eventually will be putting content up ( Read more... ) -
Oh gosh Extra Life is in mere HOURS!
So if you're a fan of helping kids, in particular sick kids in hospitals such as the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, I highly recommend donating to my Extra Life fundraiser. Starting at 8am EDT tomorrow and ending at 8am EST Sunday (6am MDT and 6am MST locally), Jon and I will be playing games continuously ( Read more... ) -
On games...
So this evening I took a 10K Pokemon GO walk. My goal initially was just to hatch my 5K egg, but then I figured why not hatch a second one, instead of just the first such egg and then I kept walking to get home. The downside of this, is that I was wearing my new shoes... but oh well. And I figured that what with Extra Life (please donate to help ( Read more... ) -
Nearly forgot to write today too
Which isn't really a good start to the month. But really, life is busy and I do have a hard time slowing down. At least if I'm busy lately it's partially an active kind of busy what with gym outings at least once a month with Jon and quite a lot of Pokemon GO walking (today was the end of their first event ever: Halloween week, and I'd say on the ( Read more... ) -
First day of November...
... and already I am forgetting to write. Glad I remembered eventually, as it is my first day of trying to write every day in November. This is my first attempt at using the LJ app. Not sure if i will switch over to medium at some point rather than attempting to blog here, but we shall see. My goal is 200 words a day which seems reasonable, ( Read more... ) -
My first Gen Con adventure! #GenCon2016
For quite some time now, I've been interested in attending Gen Con. And this year, for the first time, I did. I joined Jon, Cathy, Pete, Lindsay, Jon, and Kathy for a great trip to the Indianapolis area and some wonderful gaming experiences. While there, I did cross paths with one person I knew from my Kiwanis family involvements, quite a few ( Read more... ) -
Food and health... delicious and dangerous
So I keep mulling over the idea of starting up a new blog on the Medium platform instead of continuing this one, and then I just choose to keep writing here partly for comfort's sake. I mean I've written here since January 2004 and it still works ( Read more... )
