  • Bobcaygeon

    When I left your house this mornin’
    It was a little after nine
    It was in Bobcaygeon, I saw the constellations
    Reveal themselves one star at a time.

    One star at a time is one of the best descriptors of the sky I have ever heard. Gord was a genius.

  • We Built This City

    What is your favorite place to go in your city?

    I thought I would get that trite ear worm in your head. What is my city?

    I call home Mainz in Germany and Seattle as well. They are home to me and they are my cities.

    I currently live Southwest Washington outside of Portland. To be more specific Vancouver.

    I will go with Forest Park.

    Forest Park, at 5,200 acres, provides critical refuge for hundreds of native wildlife and plant species and acts as an important air and water filter. With more than 80 miles of trails, it also provides invaluable access to nature, exercise, and educational opportunities for the region.

    I have run thousands of miles here, attended picnics and weddings and solved many a problem. When I first moved here, they, my prospective employer, took me here to run. That clinched the deal.

  • A Very Ugly Lazy Boy

    We bought this chair about four years ago. I thought I would like reading on this chair.

    I don’t all that much The light simply isn’t quite right. That is important when reading.

    It does have a built in phone charger which I use often. So basically it is an extremely large phone charger.

    To be fair it does serves as a cat scratcher. The cats have destroyed the chair. In the photo, you may notice Sinclair sitting on the chair she destroyed.

    There are a bunch of words on the chair. It does serve as a reference point, if you suddenly decide you need to write in cursive.

    Yeah the Jack Russels sits on the chair once in a while. I think she likes all the birds scribed into the fabric

    The life of a poor underachieving lazy boy chair is a tough life.

    The life of a cat not so much
