Another Day Another?

So I woke up this morning with the impertinence to believe I have something to write that will interest someone else. So what’s new in the world?

The fact that I woke this morning is important only to me and a few others. That it’s still raining here in Southern Ontario—indeed teaming down at the moment—means that those who have to work outside, including letter carriers will have yet another miserable day with no end in sight until at least the middle of next week. As far as I know the local Pentecostals haven’t started another Ark yet so I suppose we’re alright. Norton’s Firewall still hasn’t learned how to allow my Maxthon Browser onto the net without a great deal of prompting—apparently it’s a slow learner!

In the news we learn of the latest deaths—Americans in Iraq and Canadians in Afghanistan. CBC TV is honouring one of their own, Harry Rasky dead at 79. The world will mourn the loss of Kurt Vonnegut at 84; who survived the WW#2 bombing of Dresden by huddling in an underground meat locker and went on write about it after agonizing for 23 years.

Twenty-seven years later Canadians are still celebrating Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope. Hockey has entered its second season; the playoffs that will run until well into next summer. Conrad Black is still on trial in Chicago and in Vancouver the Pickton trail drags on—a pity that in the name of justice so many people have to be traumatized and the efforts of so many people have to be wasted on such a small, sordid, disgusting little man.

Apparently I didn’t have that much to say in the end anyway. Now we’ll just hope that Outlook Express manages to post this blog. Last night as a result of one or another of Microsoft’s latest security updates I had to re-configure my user account. Now despite that fact that I’m only recently out of bed I believe I’ll go back and resume watching Band of Brothers—I’ll post a review later this week. Mind you I did crawl out of bed yesterday to drive into work and order some supplies my boss couldn’t manage on his own. It would help if anyone ever thought to request supplies before they used the last one. Somehow printers don’t work well without paper and ink. Guess I was missed!
