Alive but not kicking so much…
Got a script for penicillin, a weeks ration.
Am currently a twitchy thing that aches all over.
Very difficult to eat so I bought ice cream. Ice cream always helps.
Xavier is kind of leaving me alone though it was a tense few days. He is not medically certified in any jurisdiction I am aware of.
They will run some tests to see if I should consider the small, medium or large bag of cat food.
I will be blogging. Just to defy Satan. Thank you all.
Using military history to restore competence and integrity to senior leadership.
Eventually, the American public is going to realize that, in too many cases, its armed forces are being led by senior officers who are either moral cripples or uniformed incompetents. Worse, very few have been held accountable for their deficiencies. That is not true in all cases, but many of our four-star leaders have proved unequal to the tasks assigned them. This is a damning assessment, but I am not alone in that judgment.
In 2026, Canada’s national unity will be put to the test in more ways than one. We have separatist movements gaining steam in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec and a separatist agitator running the provincial government in British Columbia.
As Norman Spector, a top advisor to former B.C. premier Bill Bennett and chief of staff to former prime minister Brian Mulroney says on a regular basis, a Canadian PM has no more important job than keeping this huge country together.

Nearly half of all of Ontario’s 60,000 public service workers are set to return to the office full time next week after years of hybrid work arrangements.
They’ll join tens of thousands of other employees from banks, tech companies, and the telecom sector who have also been called back to the office in recent months, as part of a trend that is shifting away from remote work.
Statistics Canada data shows that for the fourth year in a row, the proportion of employed people mostly working from home is falling and as of May of last year, 76 per cent of all workers in Toronto were commuting.
How much worse can Toronto traffic get?
Are kids these days doomed?
A concerned middle school teacher recently took to social media to explain the lack of reading and problem-solving skills in her teen students.

The federal Leaders’ Debates Commission says it has settled with the Green Party after the party vowed to challenge its removal from the spring election debates.
In April, the commission, which is tasked with organizing the French and English debates, rescinded an invitation for Jonathan Pedneault, then co-leader of the Greens, to appear at a pair of leaders’ debates in Montreal.
What a waste of time.
While all three big three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have covered the widespread cases of social services fraud among Minnesota’s Somali community, the frequency and thoroughness of the coverage has varied widely depending on the network. Before December 29, CBS was the only network to have aired even a single full-length report about the scandal, and as of this study’s publishing, ABC hasn’t touched the story outside of a single offhand mention on December 3.
Toronto Public Health is warning that this holiday season saw a sharp uptick in opioid overdose calls compared to previous years.
The organization said Monday that there have been 122 reports of suspected opioid overdoses between Dec. 20 and Dec. 28, a 35 per cent increase over similar periods in the last two years. However, this surge in calls has not resulted in a corresponding rise in fatalities; officials reported fewer than five opioid-related deaths, a figure consistent with last year.
Actor and hardcore liberal George Clooney has packed up his wife and their 8-year-old twins and headed off to France, where they have become French citizens. Why? To escape Hollywood culture. The irony is that the very same liberal ideology and policies Clooney has long championed helped create the culture he is now fleeing. And yet he appears to have learned absolutely nothing from the experience, clinging to those same beliefs.

We are, of course, referring to “Elbows Up,” Gordie Howe’s signature move to ward off opponents.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — ‘Tis the season for renaming – everything from a cultural hub dedicated to a beloved slain president to new destroyers to 2025 itself. No, President Donald Trump hasn’t labeled the year with his name, but his U.S. Trade Representative, in a new op-ed, just dubbed it the “year of the tariff.”
The suspected gunmen who killed 15 people on Sydney’s Bondi Beach spent almost a month in the Philippines, but were likely to have acted alone in an Islamic State-inspired massacre.
There is no evidence that the father and son, Sajid Akram, 50, and Naveed Akram, 24, trained with terrorist cells known to be active in the southern Philippines, Krissy Barrett, the Australian federal police commissioner, said on Tuesday.
OTTAWA — With Canada’s explosion of antisemitic hatred prompting many Canadian Jews to consider an exit strategy, one expat is trying to smoothen the transition for those looking to escape south of the border.
