Writing Wheat and Chaff
This came to my email last weekend. My initial reaction was disgust. Who is this guy and what gives him the right? But I investigated.

Real Housewives of Wallaceburg
I’m kidding. There’s no such show, as far as I know. But I’m gloriously oblivious to the many spin-offs of the Housewives franchise. Same with Bachelors, Bachelorettes, Married at First Sights, etc. But it’s been fascinating to peek into their worlds for a while.

Gorilla versus Bull
Applying pieces of acoustic foam in my recording booth has been a challenge. Carpet tape didn’t work. Sticky squares that come off cleanly later on also weren’t strong enough to hold the foam overhead.

Review – Not Dead Yet by Phil Collins

Virtual Grocery Shopping Review
I’d noticed the special parking spaces at Loblaws across from those set aside for people with disabilities. No one ever seemed to be parked in them but they were a sign that the food giant expects online grocery shopping to grow. I knew I’d give it a try one day. …

Nobody Drank the Kool-aid
I’ve said it. You’ve said it or heard it. “They drank the Kool-aid.” It’s a reference to the Jonestown Massacre in November, 1978. A settlement of The Peoples Church in Guyana, numbering more than 900, killed themselves or were killed at the direction of their leader, Reverend Jim Jones. …
