Bloganuary writing promptWhat is your favorite animal?View all responses TS made an amusing, and perceptive, comment about the crew that did the demolition on our condominium suite -- they have cats in their homes. That makes sense to us. Felines are downright little bastards that cause havoc and mayham in a home. One is never … Continue reading Cats, dogs… and whatever’s distantly related to them!

Cat food, coffee cream, (for now) roasted coffee beans, fresh fruit, and THINGS!
Groceries, snow squalls, and renovating a condominium suite (FOR YOU?!).
Moscow. Berlin. Tokyo. Rome.
Daily writing promptWhat cities do you want to visit?View all responses If I could blink in-and-out of the downtown core, it would be Moscow's Hermitage gallery.... Berlin's Brandenburg Gate... Tokyo's royal palace grounds... and Rome's Vatican City. Otherwise, I'm uninterested in large metropolises. I've already spent time in Toronto, Chicago, New York City, London (UK), … Continue reading Moscow. Berlin. Tokyo. Rome.
Close to 20 years in front of a classroom? Yep.
Daily writing promptHave you ever performed on stage or given a speech?View all responses I know this isn't exactly the same as stage acting. Or addressing a crowd of >100 peers. The closest I had was talking in front of the school-work staff... and that was about 80 different peers. Most were politely listening to … Continue reading Close to 20 years in front of a classroom? Yep.
Early retirement, moving to Lion’s Head, watching our forever-home being built!
Homes in the bush, stepping away from full-time pedagogy.
If I **must** wear clothes, then it’s boots. Waterproof & insulated snowboots!
**Must**...?! Let me explain. When the Georgian Bay is warm enough, I enjoy doning neoprene and hopping into Five Fathoms Marine Park. Now that I have more time, I can resume this passion using Diver's Den as my preferred charter. That, and go fishing. I'm enjoying my first night at my new home (while we … Continue reading If I **must** wear clothes, then it’s boots. Waterproof & insulated snowboots!
Toronto Island!
I like to signal boost.
In 3 years, I’m going to be mucking around on the farm!
https://philosophyvia.photos/2023/11/10/what-will-your-life-be-like-in-three-years/ {{{I am speaking for myself. TS has her own unique take on the world, and I respect her for that}}}. In 3 years, I will be 55 years old and undoubtably marveling at the cliche bantered around in the 1990's marketing campaign (by some insurance company)... "freedom 55". I made it, despite the challenges … Continue reading In 3 years, I’m going to be mucking around on the farm!
Podcasts, yes!
I enjoy audio, without tormenting my spouse.
A manicure (fix these claws up)… that’s what I would try.
Pedicures and Flesherton detours.
Come visit us at Elora (Ontario) this weekend!
Semi-retired. Busy!
We’ve got a rental!
We have an interim place to live!
My priority? Today, check out rentals. Tomorrow, (gentlemen) farm maintenance.
TS needs a bigger table; PN needs to mess around on the woodlot.
My Chromebook is well-travelled (in the USA)…
However, it won’t properly log onto guest networks at Holiday Inn nor Hilton properties. Here in Dayton Ohio, I had a CAT5 cable provided by the kitchenette. No joy. My guest credentials are denied. Unfortunately, I disagree with HowToGeek’s assessment (link). https://www.howtogeek.com/659499/traveling-bring-a-chromebook-theyre-encrypted/ My opinion: Leave your Chromebook at home. Log on using iDevices and immediately … Continue reading My Chromebook is well-travelled (in the USA)…
I’m disgusted by these killers. Why?
The restaurant owner died from his injuries.
Support your local community market, eh…

Revisions, revisions, revisions (and it gets THOSE IDEAS out of my f**king head)!
Daily writing promptWhat do you enjoy most about writing?View all responses As a newly retired standup science philosopher (high school science teacher), I understand that writing is a SKILL. I enjoy being able to articulate myself -- if not verbally (where my stutter gets full-on manifested)... then in a format that allows me to review … Continue reading Revisions, revisions, revisions (and it gets THOSE IDEAS out of my f**king head)!
The Great Lakes, the food, my friends, and (occasionally) fast freeways out of town!
Daily writing promptWhat do you love about where you live?View all responses When TS and I were looking for property... what... 10 years ago, she insisted that we be no more than 1 day's drive from the big smoke (Toronto). I couldn't understand that need. I was looking at property around Lake Superior... or at … Continue reading The Great Lakes, the food, my friends, and (occasionally) fast freeways out of town!
I’m still learning blog-fu.
I posted an entry on TS’s channel. Here’s a link to it. https://blackdogbiscuits.ca/2023/08/13/firewood-dog-biscuits-peace-and/ Wonky post? Poor formatting? Let me know, eh.
For me? I always carry cutlery!
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time? …in TS’s case, a healthy dose of skepticism. We are hazarding the weather at Hugs For Hounds, here at the Waterloo Regional Police Association & Recreation Centre. There’s speakers here today. Spread the word! As of 11:20 a.m. on a Saturday. Greyhound! … Continue reading For me? I always carry cutlery!
