Obviously I live a sheltered life. I have never heard of the performance, “God is a Scottish Drag Queen” before. One of my knitting friends, Fiona Ellis, posted it to my FB wall. Notice that I said “knitting” friend. I didn’t say “theatre” friend, or “drag queen” friend or even “Scottish” friend. Apparently this review […]
….always a Boojum. I must apologize for not finishing the story of the intruder that my sister found sleeping on her couch one night. I thought that I had forgotten what had happened and in fact, in talking to my sister, I realized that what had actually happened was a “Boojum” – a drifting off
Someone posted to my FB wall a story about a family in BC who had come home to find a naked man cooking breakfast in their kitchen. He had apparently showered, shaved etc, and in fact had done everything, but gotten dressed and was about to make himself a meal, when the owners arrived home!!
Well it’s “hump day” and my lunch for today has been cancelled so I am a little disorganized having to re-group. As a result, this is a short post. Phantom cheque I am always fascinated by “alien body parts,” mainly hands and feet. I wrote the other day of being drawn to a post about

……Brewerese!!! It was a lovely day yesterday and since enough members of the family were going down to support the “Pride” parade, my husband and I decided to go to Harbourfront to see if the tall ships were still there.
