May 8, 2020: Choose Your Own Disaster!

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1258881255388651520 Well...? Okay, bad news.  Apparently, this pandemic and murder hornets aren't the only things we have to worry about.. What the experts fear next! What is your prediction for the Big Bad Things? I'm going to say... Hypnoworms!  They're malicious internet viruses disguised as memes and TikTok videos that actually contain dangerous subliminal messaging.…

May 7, 2020: Who’s feeling a little stir crazy?

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1258492785176588289 I say Hell YES!  Gonna get me some duck eggs and experiment tomorrow.  Wish me luck! Also wish me luck: Akemi feels she has seen enough youtube videos to cut my hair with some confidence. Guys, I'm going to do it!  Tomorrow, I am ordering both a smash cheeseburger AND a friend chicken sandwich…

May 6, 2020: The Suji Birthday Report!

Yesterday, Suji turned 15!  We celebrated with treats and an extra long morning walk.  AND also phoned in a refill on her stilbesterol!

May 5, 2020: Can we be trusted to do the right thing? Probably not, but let’s see!

About to do this in less than 30.  Come join us on Instagram! So, how's everybody doing?  What's the latest in your neighborhood?  Your city? In Toronto, things feels same old same old.  We had an unusually warm day this past weekend and I did notice significantly more foot traffic, but everyone seemed to be…

May 4, 2020: Akemi! Cruise deals! And pandemic suits!

Akemi: I need to get this sweatshirt now that I'm baking bread. Me: Why? Akemi: Because it says Bakery. Me: It actually says Berkley. Akemi: Berkley? What's that? Akemi's junior garden is coming along nicely! And her first attempt at bread baking was a rousing success as well. I was, perhaps, a little overly enthusiastic…

May 2, 2020: Maskivists, murder hornets, and proper pants etiquette!

A global pandemic is bad enough, but now Murder Hornets?  If I was giving notes on this movie script, I'd flag this particular late first act turn as a tad OTT.  But, hey, I'm not writing this one so... Came across this clever explanation of the importance of masks on reddit the other day.  Meanwhile…

May 1, 2020: Pugs, bread, and Poppin Fresh!

As a young child I was obsessed with seeing Poppin Fresh come leaping out of the Pillsbury Dough packaging and was convinced the only reason he wasn't putting in an appearance was because of my mother's failure to strike the counter top hard enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0wqNxtjIiM I'd be like "Harder!  Hit it harder!"  And my mother…

April 30, 2020: Bread making tips. Go!

Akemi is multi-tasking.…

April 29, 2020: My oscillators have detected a looming bearish downtrend for some gold stocks!

I spent much of today learning about RSI (Relative Strength Index) and its use as a momentum oscillator to help identify overbought and oversold stock, bearish and bullish divergences, failure swings, uptrends, downtrends, and reversals.  It's complex stuff, occasionally confusing, but once it begins to make sense, it's fascinating to spot the patterns.  My goal…

April 28, 2020: I wonder if I can cut my own hair?

So, what are you doing about your hair?  Entrusting a friend or loved one to cut it for you?  Shaving your head?  Allowing it to grow up so you can get creative with styling?  I was somewhat fortunate in that I got my haircut just days before my city went into lockdown - but I…

April 27, 2020: Blog Entry #4936!

The highlights of my days are finding online deals and going down to the lobby to pick up deliveries.  We rarely remember what it was we ordered so it's always very exciting to find out.  I'm thinking we should do an unboxing video.  You'll never see two people more thrilled to unpack swiss chard. So…

April 25, 2020: How’s your quarantine going?

It was an absolutely gorgeous today.  Sunny.  Warm(ish).  The perfect day - to stay indoors because, of course, everyone else was out and about, taking advantage of the great weather.  Tomorrow, however, looks much more promising.  Rain in the forecast, from early morning into late evening.  Perfect weather for picking up gardening supplies and tinned…

April 24, 2020: That kind of day.
