Today was one of those “insane days” where nothing made sense and I had to wonder how we, as a world, had come so far only to have learned so little, or perhaps the world is in retrograde… let me explain. 1. My daughter has finally been admitted to the teacher training course at Lakehead […]
The evenings are still very warm. You can leave the house with sandals, shorts, T-shirt and never have to think about a sweater or a cool breeze causing a chill. I know this will come soon enough; but I am a hot weather person, so I need to stock up!! Winter is long and cold.

Maybe the title should also read “Signs of Life.” As in vital signs – breathing, the pulse etc… I love street signs. They create interesting patterns and they make random comments on life. Here is a picture that I took yesterday. It’s outside of the Unicorn pub on Eglinton Ave. I have always liked the
Odin was a powerful god in Norse mythology. He governed the realms of wisdom, cunning, sorcery, and death. Just like Zeus, Odin had the power to transform himself into various creatures, which enabled him to wander about the earth undetected. Interestingly enough, both gods often chose bird forms, as disguises – perhaps to make a
