Happy Canada Day

It's July 1st.  Canada's birthday.  Fire up the grill and crack open a cold one.


Speaking of which, nothing defines some of us Canadians better than our love of beer.  It ranks right up there with, um, ah, our love of hockey.  Sit back, relax, and take a look at the true meaning of I Am Canadian...

00dozo: While they had great commercials I hate Molson beer. I always thought it tasted skunky. I'll be celebrating with a Corona or two.

Quirks: Did you know Dr. Pepper was originally called a Waco, because of where it was invented? Just sayin'.

Dr. Pepper's not Canadian...what the heck?!? Sorry, I was going off on Quirkster's comment.

As for your post, happy birthday, Canada. I'll have to pick up some Molson later.

UR: Thanks my friend. Did you know Molson is owned by Coors? Labatt's is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev? Sleeman's is owned by Sapporro? The only "major" independent Canadian brewery is Moosehead. And I'm not gonna be drinking something called that! Oh, and have a happy 4th!

Happy Canuck Day, NoName. Have I mentioned that I love Canada? I really do, you know. I want to live in Vancouver, specifically near Granville Island. It's my dream. That and spending a night with Evangeline Lilly and case of Molson -- assuming my wife was dead, of course, because I wouldn't even think of it otherwise.

Nothing like a little Canadian for the holidays! I'm headed up to the Thousand Islands next week... I'll look toward the northern shore and lift a Molson in your honor, Dufus!

Mike: Been to Vancouver many times - a great city. Granville Island is cool. The Cannery restaurant there is great. Thanks for the Canada Day wishes. Happy Independence Day weekend to you, guy.

Boom-Boom: Here, here. What a beautiful spot - the Thousand Islands. Better you drink a Molson than I - blechh! But it's the thought that counts. Happy 4th.

Tales From The Supermarket

Bob and Brenda worked in the supermarket. They weren't check-out clerks. And they weren't stock-boys. Brenda sure wasn't. And they weren't employees who worked in the fish section or the deli. No. They were on the shelves.

They hadn't been on the shelves very long but in that short time they'd developed a considerably close friendship.

The chatted all day when the store was busy and at night when the store was closed. They talked about everything. The talked about what raw products they came from. The talked about their manufacturing processes. And they talked about the long routes in semi-trailers that brought them to this store.

Oddly enough the one thing they never made clear to one another was just what product each of them was.

One day when Brenda was commenting on their friendship she told Bob she was grateful for their amity. "Are you Tea?" said Bob, pekoe-ing her way. "I thought I was Tea". You're coffee!"

My Back Pages - November

I read five books last month bringing my year to date total to 61, well past the 50 I estimated at the beginning of the year. And I've yet to get through December.

The month started out with The Nix, the debut novel by Nathan Hill which has been receiving a lot off positive reviews. In it Hill flips back and fourth from the 1968 Chicago protests and 2011 in a desperate search for the truth behind why his mother abandoned him at an early age. In between Hill takes on politics, the media and addiction as well as other aspects of society. It's a well-spun tale and I quite enjoyed reading it.

Next up was the auto-biographical I Am Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame. This was somewhat of a scattered affair but an interesting read nonetheless. Wilson - or his ghostwriter - however is no Hemingway.

Then it was on to one of my favourite authors, Ian Rankin and his latest tale of now retired Inspector John Rebus, Rather Be The Devil. I never tire of these stories and this is the 21st in …
