Checking In - 30 January 2025
Jan. 30th, 2025 07:24 amThe next few days are going to be a bit of a roller-coaster ride in terms of local temperature and precipitation. As I type this, it's -26ºC and it's going to see-saw between there and up to +3ºC over the next week. Snow, maybe rain, too. Yes, I'm bundling up for my morning walk before work.
I had to get a wax build-up in my left ear cleared out last night. That got me out of the house for a bit in a way that wasn't visitation-related.
Another year around Sol over and done for me.
More later.

On the Winter Holidays of 2024
Dec. 22nd, 2024 10:34 amI've noted this before: in 2002, on Christmas Day, my father died of metastasized renal cell cancer. Some forty years earlier, a cousin of mine was born on Christmas Day.
The day has been a mixed blessing for my extended family across the decades, and I wait and wonder what twists the occasion will bring this time.
And so...here is us again. Those of us still here, anyway.
It's been a wild year, running the full range of emotion from joy to despair.
I wish you the best possible greetings of the Season, by whatever Name(s) you choose to honour it. I wish you peace, hope, wisdom, freedom, justice, and love. If you do not find them, may they find you and may it bring joy to you when they do.

Birthday Fundraiser
Jan. 7th, 2024 10:00 pmI've decided, for my birthday, to launch a fundraiser for the Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County via Facebook.
How slow a pace of donations should I expect?

...I understand that this is also the anniversary of the births of notables such as Humphrey Bogart, Rod Serling, Jimmy Buffett, Sissy Spacek, CCH Pounder, Annie Lennox, Allanah Myles, and the brothers Justin and Alexandre Trudeau (in different years).
(Sadly, also, of Karl Rove.)

Happier birthdays to radargrrl!
Nov. 29th, 2022 09:20 amWe've known each other going back a couple of decades now through first Livejournal, then Dreamwidth and also Facebook and elsewhere. Glad to still be in touch and in friendship!
In the former case, I'm a day late. In the latter, I'm a day early. I hope you'll both forgive my timing on this, and that better times await you both!
