Sorry, I’ve been silent for a few days. Busy, and in a state of computer transition. But things are coming together now.

Friday evening Nellie and I saw Capote at the Varsity and had dinner at Fieramosca. It might’ve been one of the best meals I’ve ever had there, and I’ve had some fine meals indeed. Two hours, a bottle of amarone and many laughs with the hostess later we walked home in the cold, letting the shivers kickstart our digestion.

Yesterday was errand day. Some shopping, lots of reading, some cleaning, another movie, come computer stuff, watching wins by Duke and the Raptors but a loss for the Canadiens, and some indian food to top it off. Actually, come to think of it, today will likely be more of the same…especially since I still have some butter chicken in the fridge.

Ralph Klein, ever the idiot, makes an asinine argument for not banning handguns:

“That’s the solution. It’s not to ban them… I can ban anything. I can ban tape recorders by law. It’s not going to stop you from using them.”

So I guess we can expect Ralph Klein to remove the bans on drug trafficking, hate speech and drunk drunk driving any day now. The bans and laws against those doesn’t seem to stop 100% of the problem, so it’s best not to try.

My uncle (or cousin twice removed or some such thing) from BC recently sent out a detailed history of my family tracing back 7 generations when our ancestor (my namesake) first came to Canada. Lots of interesting stuff. Who knew there was once an indian massacre near where I lived? Or that one of my ancestors was a fifth cousin to Abraham Lincoln? And how would you even find that out?!?
