As per usual, Canada has gone from winter-almost-spring to full-fledged summer! In the space of one day, people have shed their parkas and jumped into shorts, for cryin' out loud! Everyone has to wear sunglasses just to compensate for the brilliant white skin being exposed everywhere.
People also have this overwhelming urge to rake (ok, let's be honest...scrape) the cruddy carcas of winter off their lawns even while there's still big gobs of snow, for cryin' out loud!
The streets of Ottawa went from deserted (I know cuz I walk the streets every day except on weekends and no, I'm not a "street-walker" of that ilk!)...to over-populated in the space of a few hours, for cryin' out loud. And everybody, I mean everybody who wasn't walkin', bikin' or sitting around on the stairs of L'Esplanade Laurier eating hotdogs and/or fries, were in their cars cruisin'. For cryin' out loud! We are such a winter-overdosed population! We're so pathetic.
I'm tired. Walked old Spencer for an hour today. BTW, he looks like new Spencer. Ron and Pauline finally got him groomed. I guess the groomer finally had her baby and is back in business. In the meantime, he looks like a new dog, almost puppy-like. I hardly recognized him. He must have lost 10 lbs of fur! But he remembered me alright. Nothing wrong with that little guy's memory!
Hubby's watched hockey all night punctuated with the odd bit of golf. Geez, I know I'm not truly Canadian because - wait for this blasphemous statement: I can't stand hockey!!!! So I retreat to cyberspace, read emails, research a little of this and that, post this and try to fend Dolly off from eating my Persian Noon bread whilst I chug a Corona! Yes, that crazy cat is trying to eat my bread. I've never seen her do that in her entire 19 years. Must be meno-paws!!!
Good night, all. Gotta try to keep my eyes open whilst I watch Juno. No, not the Canadian Juno Awards, the movie: Juno. Then off to bed with the window OPEN...who can believe it? OPEN, April 19! This craziness must have something to do with the full moon. Aaaarooooooo, werewolves of White Lake!!!!

It seems like "cryin' out loud!" is your favourite phrase! LOL
I watched Juno with Homa, she is 18. On the way home we had an interesting conversation about teenage pregnancy. Usually my wife is in charge of these lectures.
I like to sleep with open window a lot too. Enjoy spring/summer SMB joon! You know who I am, don’t you? Your secret admirer…
;-)
Good to hear from you, sweet thang! I still haven't found your sun glasses tho the ice is off the lake. Thanks for reading. I've not had much time for blogging but will try to make up time. Cheerio.
