Update

Hi. I know it's been awhile. Everything's fine. I'm feeling well. Last week I did my fourth session of chemo and it was the first time I didn't really have any ill affects. My legs are sore lately, but according to the folks at the Stem Cell Transplant Unit it's unrelated to the chemotherapy process. The doctors have agreed to hold off until after Megan's wedding for the high dose chemo and stem cell transplant. Sounds like I'll be busy come September and October.

Maryse and I went to see an excellent movie last night - The Bourne Ultimatum. A fascinating movie concerning the degree to which a government can follow an individual citizen's every move no matter where they are in the world. It really makes you think. And of course there were the requisit car chases...but very well done. We loved it. Some chase scenes were so long we turned a little blue holding our breath! Wow.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

The Dangling Conversation

There's a debate underway in my household between my wife and I. I say "underway" because it hasn't quite reached the "raging" stage. If you want raging, my wife (a Francophone) and I (an Anglophone) from time to time (usually in a weak moment of my own making) slip into our number one discussion around why we don't speak more French at home - ergo - when am I, a former public servant who learned French at the expense of our gracious taxpayers and was technically rated bilingual (even though I hardly used it), going to improve my use of Canada's other language? This one never gets resolved, hence it's ongoing nature. But the current debate is over a remark I casually made the other day. I'm no geek, but with a lot of time on my hands I surf the web, converse on Facebook and such and - I have to admit - "I'm nonamedufus and I'm a Twitterholic". In an epiphany-like moment I was struck by the apparent impact of social networkin...
