Happy Birthday to…
Micky Mouse! Who first appeared in Steamboat Willie 79 years ago today. If Walt hadn’t had some financing problems he would have been Oswald the Rabbit. "Who’s the leader of the band, that’s made for you and me. O-S-W-A-L-D T-H-E R-A…" Nah, it’s just not the same.

Some odds and ends
I can not tell you how disappointed I am in the current government’s decision to no longer fight for clemency for Canadians on death row in the US (There is currently one Canadian on Death Row there). I’ve long been proud of my country’s opposition to the death penalty, now it looks like that is

Distractions
Well, I had sat down, already to get at some writing, when I thought I’d follow a couple of links that brought hits to the House. That led to me leaving a couple of comments on other’s blogs, which led to me checking out my new google/blogger profile that I had to add to leave

Cleaning up
I sort of got away from the Blogosphere lately. My posts dropped off, and I was hardly reading any of the blogs that I normally do. I’m not sure what caused this blog torpor, but I’m crawling slowly back into the virtual world. In the course of all of this I’ve started cleaning up my

Eight not so Random Facts
Amy, of WildBird on the Fly, has tagged me with the "Eight Random Facts" meme, in which I’m to blog about eight "random" facts about me, and then tag eight others. Now there is no way that these facts are random. In order to truly be random I’d have to write out all of the

10,000 Lovely Dark & Charlie’s birds
Two of my favourite people in the blogosphere (coupled with another blogger with whom I’m only moderately familiar with) are joining forces in what is set to become the 600 pound gorilla of bird blogging, 10,000 Birds. Those of you familiar with my sidebar will know that I’ve long followed (and shame on you if

Can’t believe I missed it.
Monday, the 28th, was my two year blogiversary. Two years at these, not quite daily, ruminations. It’s hard to believe just how quickly time passes for it really does only seem like yesterday that I was typing out a post on how I’d reached the age of one. Over the past year, as I just

A year with Statcounter
A little bit of navel gazing today. I added Statcounter to the blog a year ago, so I was looking at what transpired over the last year. I had just shy of 62,000 hits in the past year (my second year at this blogging thing) with a high of 6,500 hits in February. That translated
