It's hot and humid. I have grass to cut. It will be uncomfortable work. Yet if you don't have a home, or if your age and health keep you from doing the work, you would give anything just to cut your own grass in the sunshine 🌞 and humidity. That thought should work once more.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. We will remember them. #RemembranceDay #GetYourPoppy #CanadaRemembers

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
We will remember them.

A sincere 'Well done' to Ottawa Mayor .Jim Watson for being by far the best spokesman for the citizens of #Ottawa during the siege by the anarchists masquerading as demonstrators. All Canadians wanted someone to be as frank and determined as you are being. Keep it up.

Canadians (and Ontarians) have been governed under a consensus accord like the one between the federal Liberals and the third-party NDP numerous times before. Read what the Liberal-NDP agreement means, in its correct perspective, on my web site: bobdelaney.com/libs-and-ndp/

Buck Martinez has the singular talent to call a baseball game as if he were sitting beside you at home as a welcome guest and valued friend. Fans look forward to sharing a ball game with Buck again. It's personal. Good luck Buck. Hope to enjoy Blue Jays games together again soon.

Thoughts of a lifelong goalie (and Habs fan). I commented on the Montreal Gazette web site about the April return of Canadiens Montréal goaltender #CareyPrice after nine months of rehab: montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/…

A warm #EidMubarak2022 to our many Muslim friends and neighbours. After weeks of fasting and sacrifice comes the time to celebrate and embrace friends and family with freshly-renewed faith in the power and mercy of Allah. Hope to see our friends face-to-face again very soon.

Confederation of GTA Chinese Business Associations 2022 dinner: the first time since the March 2020 lockdown that Andrea and I have attended a community (or any) dinner. Great to see live people in person again! Lots of us still masked. Thanks to our hosts. Stephen & Irene Chu.

Anecdote on late MPP Carman McClelland. On E-Day 1987, I headed home from broomball practice, and was curious who won the Ontario election. I saw Carman's campaign office, and stopped in. Big Liberal victory, good food, nice people there. 16 years later, I was elected myself.

Just finished a comprehensive book by .Eswar Prasad called "The Future of Money." It is a great 'Where do we go from here?' book on the evolution of digital currencies, the waning of cash, and the many hazards of cryptocurrencies. Suggestion: put in an index of acronyms.

A great and long era of grace and dignity spanning nearly four generations has ended with the passing of #QueenElizabeth. Individually and as Canadians, we salute Elizabeth's 70 epic years on the throne. Her reign frames the lives of nearly all. Farewell. Long live the King.

#HappyDiwali to all our Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist and Jain neighbours, and everybody else celebrating the annual Festival of Light. It is the celebration of good over evil, and is celebrated with lamps, fireworks and the exchange of gifts. Shubh Diwali.

Got my 19th annual seasonal flu shot from Clare at Shoppers Drug Mart Brittany Glen. In all that time, I have never once got the seasonal flu! Even rare common colds are half as severe for half as long. Pharmacists say their flu shot supplies are short. Get your flu shot asap.

Why on earth are Canadiens Montréal using those God-awful light blue jerseys? The Habs' red and white jerseys are to hockey what the tuxedo is to men's wardrobe. No wonder the team can't win while wearing those clownish jerseys. Stop. Please.

Farewell #HazelMcCallion. She leaves a legacy to admire rather than a passing to mourn. Every person who served our city: elected, employee or manager, was touched by Hazel's energy, vision and devotion to Mississauga. Hazel and Sam are together again.

Twitter spent 12 years building a brand image with a little singing bird. Seemed appropriate. Now that brand image is a weird, cultish-looking "X" set against a black background. Seems inappropriate. Small wonder that my interest in using this deteriorating platform is waning.

Not that long ago, getting one's COVID-19 booster meant booking an appointment. Last time I was in the drug store, the pharmacist looked up my history, saw that it was time for my booster, and asked if I wanted a Pfizer shot then and there. I did. Now I am up to date.

Happy #easter2024 to one and all, and an early #EidUlFitr Mubarak to all our Muslim friends and neighbours. May we all set aside our divisions and frustrations and come together around all that we share in common this coming year.
