Rural Routes
I fought our new way of life for several months after we moved in. Even though I know it’s futile and frankly, unhealthy for my mental wellness, I dug myself into a state of forcing this old house and property to prove itself to me. It’s too big, too unpredictable too…rural.

Cats and Dogs II
Greetings my little fur shedders! Welcome back to my fuzzy space on the Interweb. Today, I present some evidence I received of cats and dogs finding ways to overcome their biases and forging friendships and developing affection for one another.

They Called Him Hitmaker
Canadian radio lost one of its last legends this week. Nevin Grant died during surgery. Had it not been for COVID-19, he would have been preparing for a big moment. He was going to receive the Allan Waters Lifetime Achievement Award and induction into the Canadian Broadcasters Hall of Fame. This is the Hall which will also induct Erin Davis when the delayed event finally happens next year.

Cat People, People Cat
Hello, again my lovely self-groomers! We three remain housebound where naps are taken and nothing else is taken very seriously, except physical distancing from others. I was made for this. When I don’t have to worry about someone blocking my access to the food bowl, or grabbing my tail, I’m in heaven.

My Inner Squiggle – I Mean Struggle
Some time ago, I announced on Twitter that I was giving up the fight over the apostrophe. I felt defeated. Some smart people – and a lot of dumb ones – still don’t know (or don’t care) when it’s supposed to be used. I decided I’d never win the fight so I waved a white hanky in surrender.

It Never Rains in California
If you’re old enough, you might recognize today’s title as a song lyric from the 1972 soft rock hit, It Never Rains in Southern California. Albert Hammond wrote and sang it. And if you know the song, it goes on to say: It pours, man, it pours.

A Room With A View
From my new writing space, all I see is corn, hay, more corn, trees, and more trees. There is a neighbour a km or so away, but I can’t quite make out their house. This is the road less traveled but there is a streetlight across from our home. It’s a little bit of civilization in a pretty remote area.
