Hinterland Who’s Who

If you are Canadian, you know that woodsy theme music of “Hinterlands Who’s Who”. It appears that even our most sacred of national treasures is fair game for a poke or two.

A fascinating look at the Wood Spider. You won’t be disappointed.


Svea Elina Engleson

Welcome to my beautiful new baby granddaughter, Svea Elina Engleson. Baby weighed in at about 7.7 lbs at 9:33 am, January 19, 2007 in Dalian China. I haven’t yet beheld her but I have heard her and she has got some lungs! Big Brother Magnus is already trying to protect her from the nurses.
God bless and well done Kristin and Craig!
Now, go post some pictures for poor Gramma Judy!

Deteriorata

Take time for an inspirational moment.


Director, Human Resources

I am an HR Professional. I value what I do. Newspapers and magazines interview me because I have insight. They like my throwaway lines such as “It doesn’t matter how many donuts and muffins you throw at people. They won’t stay with you until you capture their mind.” Whooooo! Heady stuff. I am in tune with Mr.and Mrs. Working Man. I really love people. REALLY!

I am an HR professional. And proud of it!


Hey Biff! Eat Your Onions!

I have the flu. So does my friend Ron. What hope does one have when people insist on going to work sick and spewing germs everywhere? This is a dark and vicious bug which only responds to tequila and Neo Citron. Chemistry aside, it is the third bug that I have succumbed to in as many months. It occured to me last night, after watching Cold Case Files, that Joe might be poisoning me for the insurance. I am on the mend however because I received this good and timely advice.

Cat Power


Leggy

For a 3 legged cat, Leggy has a lot of charm.

James Brown - The Godfather of Soul

It is truly amazing that James lived as long as he did. The man had several wives and took part in some serious gun play with them. He did every substance known to man, cheated the IRS but somehow remained a consumate performer. I wonder if Mazio threw a purple cloak over the white casket at his funeral at the Apollo.
Anyway - I liked the guy and his music always takes me back to my youth, listening to him on a yellow 4″ X 6″ transistor radio tuned to CKLW.

Well, metaphysically speaking, Papa’s gotta brand new bag. God speed James.
